Eric Trump Declares Bitcoin “The Greatest Asset of Our Time” at Clear Street Tech Conference
Eric Trump, co-founder of American Bitcoin Corporation, declared at the Clear Street Disruptive Technology Conference that Bitcoin is “the greatest asset of our time.”
His remarks come amid a notable surge in the Trump family’s engagement with cryptocurrency and new disclosures linking his crypto ventures to government scrutiny.
A Growing Voice at Bitcoin Conferences
This isn’t Eric Trump’s first time speaking to crypto crowds.
Over the past year, he has appeared at multiple Bitcoin-focused conferences — including panels at Bitcoin 2024 — often talking about mining, American competitiveness, and why the U.S. should lead in digital assets.
His message has remained consistent:
Bitcoin isn’t just an investment. It’s infrastructure.
These appearances have made him one of the more visible voices connecting traditional political families with the fast-growing world of digital assets.
Why He Says Bitcoin Is Still Early
During the Clear Street event, Trump made three big points that he believes explain Bitcoin’s long-term strength.
1. Wall Street Is Coming Onboard
He highlighted how major financial players are now building around Bitcoin:
JPMorgan using blockchain for settlement
Charles Schwab offering Bitcoin products
Spot Bitcoin ETFs pulling in billions
“Ten years ago, none of these firms wanted anything to do with Bitcoin,” he said. “Now they’re embracing it.”
2. Countries Are Testing Bitcoin
Trump pointed to El Salvador, the first nation to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender. He suggested other countries may follow, especially those with unstable currencies.
3. Young People Prefer Bitcoin
Younger generations, he said, trust digital assets more than traditional banks.
“People under 35 look at Bitcoin the same way older generations looked at gold,” Trump said.
The Trump Family’s Growing Crypto Footprint
Eric Trump’s comments fit into a broader shift within one of America’s most recognizable political families.
On November 22, 2025, Eric Trump publicly denied allegations that the Trump-backed crypto venture World Liberty Financial sold tokens to sanctioned regimes, including Russia and North Korea. He called the claims “absolutely laughable” and emphasised rigorous Know-Your-Customer (KYC) processes.
That underscores a growing regulatory spotlight around crypto ventures tied to prominent political families.
But Bitcoin Volatility Still Looms Large
Today, Bitcoin is trading around $84,000, down from recent highs above $126,000.
Despite the pullback, Eric Trump reaffirmed his bullish view, stating “this is a great time to buy Bitcoin” and that no other asset over the past decade has matched BTC’s performance
The Trump Family’s Growing Crypto Footprint
Donald Trump, the former President, now brands himself a “crypto-forward leader”, endorsing Bitcoin and tokenised assets.
Donald Trump Jr. holds an investment stake in American Bitcoin and promotes the narrative of “mining + holding” BTC.
Eric Trump serves as Chief Strategy Officer of American Bitcoin and is a frequent speaker at Bitcoin and blockchain conferences.
Through World Liberty Financial, the family is exploring tokenised real-estate, stablecoins, and other digital-asset utilities.
These efforts signal a strategic pivot from real estate to crypto infrastructure.
What Eric Trump’s Support Means for Bitcoin
If you’re watching Bitcoin and wondering whether major players are flocking in, Eric Trump’s comments suggest yes, but selectively.
The endorsement hints at longer-term adoption rather than short-term hype.
The mining + treasury model (via American Bitcoin) emphasises accumulation.
However, volatile price swings and regulatory headwinds remind everyone: this is not a risk-free gold-like asset.
