When asked about his predictions for Bitcoin in the next two to five years, Trump Jr. expressed optimistic sentiments, declaring, “We’re going to the moon, guys, it’s gonna be awesome. Stay in, stay strong.” Such assertions reflect a strong commitment to the cryptocurrency, as he elaborated on the various platforms through which he and his ventures are investing in the crypto space. He remarked, “We’re true believers,” underscoring a serious dedication to the adoption and implementation of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

Trump Jr. revealed that this Bitcoin treasury will be accumulated through partnerships, particularly highlighting American Bitcoin in collaboration with Hut 8 and other initiatives through the World Liberty Financial (WLF) DeFi platform, despite not disclosing specific tokens. He expressed a strong belief that decentralized finance (DeFi) would revolutionize the financial system, providing fundamentally needed efficiencies absent from traditional finance.
“In my opinion, DeFi is going to change so many aspects of the financial system and create the efficiencies that have been lacking [in traditional finance].”
Addressing the slower adoption rates among banks and traditional financial institutions, he noted their reluctance to embrace technological advancements, which they may perceive as threats. Yet, he remained hopeful, stating, “Every day when I see someone else adapting this or taking on a little bit [of Bitcoin], I think we’re at the point when those floodgates are going to open.” He underscored the urgency of establishing a regulatory framework that allows the new financial sector to thrive within American borders.
