Eric Trump doubled down on his $1 million price prediction for bitcoin and said he had never been more optimistic during the World Financial Forum at Mar-a-Lago.
President Donald Trump’s youngest son doubled down on his long-term optimism about bitcoin, calling it “one of the top-performing asset classes” of the last decade in an interview with CNBC on Wednesday.
“I’m a big proponent because I think it reaches $1 million,” 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 bitcoin would reach $175,000 before the end of the year and eventually rise to $1 million.
BTC closed 2025 at about $88,750, having fallen sharply from an all-time high of more than $126,000 in early October, according to data from CoinDesk..
Trump also said that over the past 10 years, bitcoin has risen about 70% annually on average, challenging viewers to “name an asset class that has performed better than Bitcoin.”
While acknowledging the asset’s volatility, Trump framed it as compensation for the upside potential. “There’s going to be volatility with something that has huge upside,” he said. “But I have never been more bullish on Bitcoin in my life. I have never been more bullish on cryptocurrencies in my life.”
The publication comes as bitcoin trades just below $67,000, after failing to regain $70,000, a level it has not visited since February 15.
The World Liberty Financial forum, held Wednesday at Mar-a-Lago, is linked to World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency-focused company backed by the Trump family.
