Eric Trump Goes Full Crypto Prophet: Bitcoin to Hit $1M, Asia Awaits! 🚀

by

What to Know:

  • In a performance at Wyoming’s Blockchain Symposium, Eric Trump declared himself a “bitcoin maxi”-a term so rugged, even the Rockies blush-predicting that Bitcoin will skyrocket to $175K within this year, then maybe, just maybe, break the sound barrier at $1 million. 🎯
  • The Financial Times reports that American Bitcoin (co-founded by none other than Trump himself) is dabbling in acquiring companies in Japan and Hong Kong-because nothing says ‘shrewd investment’ like turning a ledger into an empire-and turning those into digital asset treasury vehicles. Basically, they’re playing Monopoly but with real money and questionable future.
  • Bloomberg adds that Eric plans to jet off to Tokyo for a shareholder meeting of Metaplanet, following his performance at Hong Kong’s Bitcoin Asia 2025. Apparently, Trump’s corporate roadmap now reads “Crypto: The Second Gold Rush,” with a touch of jetlag added for dramatic effect.

Eric Trump, ever the Silicon Valley cowboy of the family, is knee-deep in digital gold rush plans-attending shareholder meetings, making bold price predictions, and expanding the Trump brand into Asia’s crypto frontier. Because, why not? If you’re going to dream, might as well dream big enough to land in Tokyo for a meeting, right? 🤷‍♂️

According to Bloomberg, come September 1, Eric will join a meeting of Metaplanet, a Japanese outfit playing copycat with Saylor’s MicroStrategy-minus the charm, plus a lot of ambition. Appointed as strategic adviser back in March, he’s now moonwalking into the East, following an appearance at Hong Kong’s Bitcoin conference, as if crypto holds the secret to world peace or at least a few good headlines.

A day before, he was on stage at Wyoming, boldly claiming he spends more than half his time on crypto-because why have hobbies when you can have blockchain dreams? Forecasting Bitcoin to hit $175K and then take a leisurely stroll past $1 million, he argued blockchain might fix our messy financial plumbing-slow payments, endless settlement delays, the usual doom and gloom mixed with dollar signs.

The Financial Times further reports that American Bitcoin-cofounded by Trump’s own kin-is exploring buying stakes in companies across Japan and Hong Kong. Think of it as a global treasure hunt, with plans to debut on Nasdaq via a reverse merger. Because what’s more American than turning a ledger into a land grab? 🪙

This crypto craze isn’t just personal vanity; it’s a family affair. Trump Media & Technology Group raised a cool $2 billion in Q2 to stash in bitcoin, while President Donald Trump himself disclosed earning $57 million from World Liberty Financial-a crypto startup that sounds more like a sci-fi fantasy than a bank.

While the Trumps chase digital riches, Japan is about to approve its first yen-denominated stablecoin-surely to make everyone’s life easier, or at least to keep pace with Hong Kong’s slick new regulatory regime, which requires license to print money in stablecoins. The Great Crypto Game 2.0 is underway, and Eric Trump is swinging for the fences. ⚾
