Eric Trump doubled his $1 million price prediction for bitcoin and said he has never been more bullish during the World Financial Forum that took place at Mar-a-Lago.
President Donald Trump’s younger son doubled down on his long-term optimism for bitcoin, calling it “one of the best-performing asset classes” of the past decade in an interview with CNBC on Wednesday.
“I’m a big proponent because I think it hits $1 million dollars,” Trump said. “Go back two years. Bitcoin was at $16,000. Where is it right now, $70,000?”
In August 2025, Eric Trump, who described himself as a “bitcoin maxi,” said that bitcoin would reach $175,000 by the end of the year and eventually rise to $1 million.
BTC closed 2025 at around $88,750, after falling sharply from a record high of more than $126,000 in early October, according to CoinDesk data.
Trump also said that over the past 10 years, bitcoin has risen by about 70% annually on average, challenging viewers to “name an asset class that has outperformed Bitcoin.”
While acknowledging the asset’s volatility, Trump framed it as a trade-off for upside potential. “You want volatility with something that has a huge upside,” he said. “But I’ve never been more bullish on bitcoin in my life. I’ve never been more bullish on cryptocurrency in my life.”
The post comes as bitcoin trades just below $67,000, having failed to regain the $70,000 mark, a level it has not visited since February 15.
The World Liberty Financial forum, to be held Wednesday at Mar-a-Lago, is linked to World Liberty Financial, a crypto-focused venture backed by the Trump family.
