Eric Trump Predicts Bitcoin's Surge, 0.1 BTC Could Make You Rich

Eric Trump, son of former U.S. President Donald Trump, made a bold prediction about the future value of Bitcoin during his speech at the Bitcoin 2025 Conference in Las Vegas on May 27. He asserted that owning just 0.1 Bitcoin could potentially make someone rich, as the demand for the cryptocurrency continues to surge. Currently, Bitcoin is trading at approximately $107,820, making even a fraction of a coin a significant investment for many.

Eric Trump, along with his brother Donald Trump Jr., participated in a panel discussion moderated by Aaron Arnold. They both encouraged everyday investors to start with small investments in Bitcoin, emphasizing that owning even a tiny fraction of the cryptocurrency can be beneficial. Donald Trump Jr. highlighted that the perception of Bitcoin being too expensive has been a recurring theme as its price has increased over the years. He advised that the key is to start investing and learn as one goes along, rather than being deterred by the high price.

Donald Trump Jr. also noted that owning a small amount of Bitcoin can spark greater interest and involvement in the cryptocurrency market. This curiosity often leads to further learning and deeper engagement with the market. Eric Trump echoed this sentiment, mentioning that they have observed strong interest in Bitcoin from various regions, including the Middle East, Europe, and Asia. He pointed out that both large corporations and wealthy families, as well as sovereign wealth funds and private offices, are increasingly showing interest in Bitcoin.

Eric Trump also addressed the issue of scarcity, stating that it is becoming increasingly difficult to find Bitcoin on exchanges. He cited a conversation with Simon Gerovich of Metaplanet, who mentioned that over-the-counter desks are running low on Bitcoin despite the rising demand. This scarcity could potentially drive prices even higher, further emphasizing the potential value of owning even a small fraction of Bitcoin. Eric Trump concluded by stating that the demand for Bitcoin is strong and that people are reluctant to sell their holdings, which could contribute to its future value.
