Bitcoin Surges 10% as Trump May Retreat from Global Trade Tariffs

  • Bitcoin has risen approximately 10% from early March lows amid speculation that Trump might be reconsidering global trade tariffs.
  • GameStop may announce a Bitcoin-related strategy in its Q4 earnings report, potentially converting $5 billion cash reserves to Bitcoin.
  • Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) CEO Michael Saylor predicts a “Cambrian explosion” of companies and countries purchasing Bitcoin.

Bitcoin’s price has rebounded roughly 10% since its early March lows as market sentiment improves following indications that President Donald Trump might be softening his stance on global trade tariffs. Despite this recent upward movement, Bitcoin remains significantly below its January peak of nearly $110,000, with traders now focusing on potential corporate adoption catalysts.

Financial markets are closely watching GameStop‘s upcoming fourth-quarter earnings report, scheduled for release after Tuesday’s market close, with speculation mounting that the video game retailer might announce a Bitcoin strategy. This speculation stems from a proposal by Strive Asset Management that recommends GameStop convert its substantial $5 billion cash reserves into Bitcoin, positioning itself as the “premier bitcoin treasury company in the gaming sector.”

The proposal gained credibility when Ryan Cohen, GameStop’s CEO, responded to Strive CEO Matt Cole’s letter with a simple “Letter received” acknowledgment on social media platform X. Cohen had previously stirred speculation when he shared a photo of himself with Michael Saylor, whose company Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) has become known for its aggressive Bitcoin acquisition strategy.

Strategy’s Bitcoin holdings have now reached approximately 500,000 BTC, valued at $42 billion, following the company’s initiative that began in 2020. This corporate treasury approach has created a template that other businesses might follow as institutional adoption continues to expand.

Saylor was among several cryptocurrency executives who recently attended the White House digital asset summit hosted by President Trump. During a subsequent Blockworks podcast, Saylor predicted a coming “Cambrian explosion” of both corporate and national Bitcoin acquisitions.

This potential GameStop development emerges as a White House official revealed possible mechanisms by which Trump could drive Bitcoin prices higher, and as executives from major financial institutions like BlackRock anticipate additional “big catalysts” for the cryptocurrency on the horizon.

The increasing interest from traditional corporations in Bitcoin treasury strategies reflects growing institutional confidence in cryptocurrency as a store of value, despite ongoing price volatility and regulatory uncertainties. If GameStop proceeds with converting its cash reserves into Bitcoin, it would join a small but growing list of public companies using Bitcoin as a treasury asset.
