Donald Trump emphasized his support for Bitcoin during his recent presidential campaign, including making an appearance at a Bitcoin conference and asserting that all Bitcoin (BTC) mining would occur within the United States. His administration moved to reduce crypto regulations by pausing and canceling some Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) actions and requesting rule changes.
Numerical data shows Bitcoin’s price rose by only 7% under Trump, increasing from approximately $101,000 to $108,000 in relative terms. In contrast, under Biden, Bitcoin’s price surged 73%, climbing from $36,000 to $62,000 over the same period after taking office.
Multiple crypto executives made significant donations to support Trump’s campaign, with some contributions exceeding legal limits, requiring refunds. Additionally, Trump is connected to several cryptocurrency companies that have the potential to generate profits during his time as president.
Some analysts and traders link Bitcoin’s weaker price performance during Trump’s presidency to the global trade war initiated under his administration. They have suggested that increased trade tensions might have contributed to recent sudden market drops, known as “flash crashes.”
Despite Trump’s public pro-Bitcoin stance and efforts to deregulate, Bitcoin experienced much stronger relative price growth during Biden’s administration, which has generally adopted a more cautious regulatory approach to the crypto industry.
