Eric Trump continued his strong push for cryptocurrency during his recent trip to Hong Kong. At the Bitcoin Asia Conference on August 29, 2025, he spoke directly to thousands of crypto fans and investors. Trump called Bitcoin the “greatest asset in the world” and told the crowd that he firmly believes the digital currency will one day reach a $1 million value.
Bitcoin’s Growth Under Trump and Market Momentum in 2025
Trump pointed out that Bitcoin has grown strongly in 2025. Since the start of the year, the digital coin has gained about 18% in value, a rise that many investors credit to new U.S. policies supporting crypto. The administration in Washington has created a friendlier climate for digital assets, attracting big investors who once stayed away.
In mid-August, Bitcoin even hit an all-time high of $124,480 before slipping back to just above $110,000. Despite the dip, Trump told the Hong Kong audience that the long-term direction of Bitcoin remains positive.
