Former U.S. President Donald Trump’s second son, Eric Trump, publicly predicted during an interview with CNBC at the World Liberty Forum that Bitcoin’s price will reach one million dollars.
(Background: Eric Trump posted urging “buy the dip” on crypto assets! Can we trust his call?)
(Additional context: Trump’s son Eric Trump: Bitcoin is the currency of the future and the greatest asset of this era.)
According to a video shared on X by Michael Saylor, founder of the world’s largest Bitcoin reserve company Strategy, Eric Trump stated during the interview at the World Liberty Forum that Bitcoin’s price could hit one million dollars, emphasizing that the Trump family is actively promoting the development of the crypto industry. Eric openly said:
I am a huge proponent of Bitcoin. I think it hits $1 million. I’ve never been more bullish.

70% Annual Growth Rate as the Basis for Prediction
In the interview, Eric presented a mathematical logic: Bitcoin’s historical average annual growth rate is about 70%. If this trend continues, reaching $1 million is not far-fetched. He explained that this target price is not arbitrary but based on a reasonable extrapolation of past growth trajectories.
Eric also emphasized the Trump family’s involvement in the crypto space. He pointed out that the family’s project, World Liberty Financial, is designed to support his father’s policy vision after taking office in 2025, which could help Trump become the “most crypto-friendly president in U.S. history.”
Deregulation as a Policy Focus
Eric stated that the core of the current Trump administration’s policy is deregulation, aiming to break through the heavy bureaucratic gridlock and make the U.S. the global center of blockchain innovation. He believes this wave of regulatory reform will further unleash the innovative potential of the crypto industry.
Indeed, since Trump returned to the White House in January 2025, U.S. crypto policy has shown a clear shift. The Trump administration has continued to push for regulatory adjustments and reforms, striving to create a more friendly environment for digital assets.

Mizuho Securities raised its target price to $100, while maintaining a "Neutral" rating, but became more optimistic about profit prospects. Analysts believe that if the Federal Reserve continues to keep interest rates high, Circle's revenue will benefit accordingly, but market competition and regulatory pressures should still be watched carefully.
