Bitcoin falls 13% under Trump despite industry support and official embrace

Bitcoin Declines 13% Under Trump Despite Pro-Crypto Stance, Contrasting with 45% Rise During Biden's Term

  • Bitcoin has declined approximately 13% during President Trump’s current term despite his pro-cryptocurrency stance.
  • This performance contrasts with Biden‘s term, when Bitcoin rose about 45% during the same timeframe.
  • Trump’s administration has established a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve while receiving support from major cryptocurrency industry leaders.

Bitcoin has declined approximately 13% since the beginning of President Trump’s current administration, dropping from around $101,000 to $87,000, despite his unprecedented embrace of cryptocurrency and substantial industry backing.

The performance stands in stark contrast to former President Biden’s term, when Bitcoin surged approximately 45% during the same period, rising from $36,000 to $52,000. Even during Trump’s first term, when he had described Bitcoin as a “scam,” the cryptocurrency saw modest growth of about 8% at this point in his presidency, increasing from roughly $890 to $960.

Donald Trump has significantly shifted his stance on cryptocurrency since taking office. His administration has established a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and is actively seeking ways to acquire additional Bitcoin. Furthermore, World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency project in which Trump has financial interests, has purchased millions of dollars worth of tokenized Bitcoin.

This pro-crypto position follows substantial industry support for Trump’s campaign. Notable cryptocurrency executives including Cameron Winklevoss, Tyler Winklevoss, Brian Armstrong, Marc Andreessen, and Michael Saylor have publicly backed the president.

Financial analysts suggest Trump’s economic policies, including threats of tariffs and significant government personnel changes, may be contributing to broader market uncertainty that affects Bitcoin performance alongside traditional markets.

The cryptocurrency industry had previously criticized the Biden administration’s regulatory approach, making the comparative performance metrics particularly noteworthy for investors evaluating political impacts on digital assets.
