Trump's Son & Scaramucci Predict Bitcoin Price Surge
Eric Trump Joins Bitcoin Bulls with Bold Price Prediction
Eric Trump, son of Donald Trump, has declared himself a “Bitcoin Maxi” and predicted a significant surge in Bitcoin's price. Speaking at the Wyoming Blockchain Symposium, he forecasted that the leading cryptocurrency would reach $175,000 before the end of 2025.
During the symposium, Trump stated he now dedicates over half his time to crypto ventures. He believes Bitcoin is poised to hit $175,000 this year and could eventually surpass $1 million. In his own words:
I think we’re going to be over $175,000 this year…You go out a couple of years and there’s no question Bitcoin goes over $1 million.
Trump highlighted blockchain technology's potential to address inefficiencies in traditional finance, such as slow payment processing. His optimistic outlook mirrors the growing confidence among prominent figures who view Bitcoin as more than a speculative asset.
Eric Trump's participation in the Wyoming Blockchain Symposium coincided with news of his advisory role with Japan's Metaplanet. The company is implementing a Bitcoin-centric treasury strategy similar to MicroStrategy. Trump is scheduled to attend Metaplanet’s shareholder meeting in September, where strategic updates will be discussed. He was appointed as a strategic advisor to Metaplanet in March, sparking speculation that his involvement could accelerate the company's Bitcoin-focused initiatives.
Scaramucci Echoes Bullish Sentiment, Predicts $180K–$200K Bitcoin
Anthony Scaramucci, founder of SkyBridge Capital and former White House Communications Director, also shared a bullish Bitcoin forecast at the Wyoming Bitcoin Symposium. In a CNBC interview, Scaramucci reiterated his prediction that Bitcoin could trade between $180,000 and $200,000.
Scaramucci described this as a “cautious price target,” attributing his confidence to increasing institutional interest in Bitcoin, citing the growing assets in BlackRock’s IBIT. He further explained:
There’s more demand than issued supply of Bitcoin or the existing overall supply in the marketplace.
The predictions from both Eric Trump and Anthony Scaramucci at the Wyoming Blockchain Symposium reflect growing optimism surrounding Bitcoin's future. Currently, Bitcoin is trading around $115,200, according to TradingView data.
