Eric Trump Doubled His $1 Million Price Prediction for Bitcoin and said he had never been more optimistic during the World Financial Forum held at Mar-a-Lago.
President Donald Trump’s youngest son doubled down on his long-term optimism for bitcoin, calling it “one of the best-performing asset classes” of the last decade in an interview with CNBC on Wednesday.
“I’m a strong supporter because I think it hits $1 million,” Trump said. “Two years ago, Bitcoin was $16,000. Where is it now, $70,000?”
In August 2025, Eric Trump, who described himself as a “bitcoin max,” said bitcoin would hit $175,000 before the end of the year and eventually climb to $1 million.
BTC closed 2025 at around $88,750, after falling sharply from an all-time high of over $126,000 in early October, according to CoinDesk data..
Trump also said that over the past 10 years, bitcoin has climbed about 70% per year on average, challenging viewers to “name an asset class that has performed better than bitcoin.”
While acknowledging the asset’s volatility, Trump presented it as a trade-off for upside potential. “You’re going to experience volatility with something that has tremendous 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.”
This publication comes as bitcoin trades just below $67,000, after failing to recover $70,000, a level it has not reached since February 15.
The World Liberty Financial forum, held Wednesday at Mar-a-Lago, is linked to World Liberty Financial, a crypto-focused company backed by the Trump family.
