Bitcoin holds its ground as Trump’s tariffs put investors on the back foot, and projects like $ETH, $DOGE, and BTC Bull Token, directly connected to $BTC’s success, may capitalize on it.
Despite the White House’s positive outlook on the crypto market, which culminated with Trump’s Bitcoin Reserve earlier this month, the February 1st, 2025 tariff plan hit the crypto market like a sledgehammer.
$BTC lost 22.5% of its value between February 4 and March 11, 2025, falling from $101K to $78K, while the market as a whole shaved $300B off of its value.
The recoil was so brutal that it even prompted critics like Peter Schiff to accuse Trump of deliberate market manipulation:
However, despite the controversy and the market’s sudden free-fall, Bitcoin appears to remain solid and even shows signs of recovery. So, what is going on?
How Trump’s Policies Shape the Crypto Market
Alexis Sirkia, co-founder of GSR and CEO of Yellow Capital, bit back at Peter Schiff’s anti-Trump rhetoric, stating his unequivocal trust in the crypto market:
In his words: ‘The value of Bitcoin is still the same […] It’s still $100,000, now there’s just a 20% discount because of risk and uncertainty.’
In Alexis’s view, the coin is in full bullish mode and he’s not the only one riding this wave.
We may disagree with Alexis’s short-term outlook, but we wholeheartedly concur regarding the long-term potential once Bitcoin regains its footing.
The Secretary of Commerce, Howard Lutnik, also expressed his unwavering confidence in the future of the crypto market. In a March 12, 2025, interview for CBS, he stated that Trump’s tariff policies are worth it, even if they lead to a recession:
‘These policies are the most important thing America has ever had.[…] It is worth it. These policies produce revenue and growth; they produce factories being built here.’
Recent $12B Open Interest Wipeout Still Positive for Bitcoin
In the spirit of ‘bad Bitcoin news is good Bitcoin news,’ the recent $12B loss in open interest rate is still viewed positively for the token, believes DarkFost, a contributor at CryptoQuant:
His vote of confidence is shared by many other higher-ups in the crypto and political space, including NYDG’s research head Greg Cipolaro, who, in a November 11, 2024, note, stated:
‘Not owning the asset is going to become a liability in the future. Investors who may have found it easy to dismiss or ignore the asset for various reasons will continue to do so at their financial peril.’
One could disagree with this view, but if history has taught us anything, Bitcoin is almost guaranteed to prove naysayers wrong.
These (not-so) hot takes come in the context of David Sacks (former PayPal executive and Trump’s newly appointed AI & Crypto Czar) announcing that Trump’s Digital Asset Stockpile will include four other tokens aside from Bitcoin.
In the same post, he also stated that:
‘The U.S. will not sell any bitcoin deposited into the Reserve. It will be kept as a store of value. The Reserve is like a digital Fort Knox for the cryptocurrency often called “digital gold.”
This HODL strategy, especially coming from the White House itself, may benefit Bitcoin profoundly in the long run, given that the U.S. is currently the biggest crypto player in the world.
These statements have the power to not only rally investors but potentially fuel promising meme coins like BTC Bull Token.
How BTC Bull Token ($BTCBULL) May Turn Bullish
BTC Bull Token ($BTCBULL) is one of the hottest meme coins and currently one of the best presales available. The presale has raised over $3.7M so far with $BTCBULL being valued at $0.002415.
The new crypto project aims to capitalize on Bitcoin’s success and follow the King coin toward a $1M evaluation and beyond. To achieve this goal, the team relies on more than just community hype:
- Bitcoin airdrops: $BTCBULL holders will receive $BTC airdrops at key $BTC price points ($150K, $200K).
- $BTCBULL airdrop: One meaty $BTCBULL airdrop (10% of the total token supply split among holders) is programmed for when Bitcoin reaches the $250K price mark.
- Token burn: The team also burns tokens based on $BTC’s price movement ($125K, $175K, and $225K).
You can only qualify for the Bitcoin airdrops if you hold your $BTCBULL in a Best Wallet account.
These measures are designed to create upward price pressure for $BTCBULL, linking the token to Bitcoin’s market progress.
The staking pool is already close to 1B-strong, with stakers enjoying an APY of 113% with a dynamic reward rate. As the APY decreases as more stakers join, entering early may prove rewarding in the long run.
The project’s whitepaper explains the team’s vision in detail and establishes a clear roadmap post-public listing.
Remember that this isn’t financial advice. Always DYOR (Do Your Own Research) before investing, no matter how FOMO-inducing (Fear of Missing Out) the project may be.

Is the Bitcoin Bull Here?
Yes, $BTC does appear to be entering its long-awaited bullish cycle, if we’re to believe the most confident voices in the crypto-sphere.
Trump’s Federal Reserve was only the beginning in a seemingly long list of $BTC-endorsing policies. Senator Cynthia Lummis’s Bitcoin Act aimed at expanding the capacity of the Federal Reserve to 1M+ tokens quickly followed it.
This explains why, despite Trump’s ‘tariff war,’ the King coin holds strong and appears to start brandishing its horns. Projects like BTC Bull Token will also hugely benefit from BTC’s upward trend, as it tends to behave like a tide that raises everything, including alt and meme coins.
