Bitcoin is at the center of Eric Trump’s latest ventures, as he expands his involvement in the cryptocurrency sector with bold price predictions and deepening ties in Asia’s digital asset markets.
Eric Trump’s Expanding Global Crypto Agenda
Eric Trump is poised to take his crypto ambitions international with an upcoming trip to Tokyo, where he plans to attend a shareholder meeting of Metaplanet on September 1. Metaplanet, known for adopting a bitcoin-centric treasury strategy similar to Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy model, brought Trump on board as a strategic advisor earlier this year. His visit follows a scheduled appearance at the high-profile Bitcoin Asia event in Hong Kong on August 28–29.
These efforts reflect Trump’s growing dedication to the crypto space, further emphasized by his recent participation at the Wyoming Blockchain Symposium. There, he declared himself a “bitcoin maxi” and stated he now devotes over half of his time to blockchain and crypto projects. Trump’s bullish projection? Bitcoin to hit $175,000 by the end of 2025 and eventually soar beyond $1 million.
American Bitcoin’s Strategic Growth into Asia
In alignment with this vision, Eric Trump is also driving forward his company, American Bitcoin, which he co-founded with Donald Trump Jr. According to reports by the Financial Times, the company is actively pursuing acquisitions of publicly listed companies in Japan and Hong Kong. The goal: use these acquisitions as vehicles to accumulate bitcoin stockpiles in line with Saylor’s now-iconic accumulation strategy.
American Bitcoin is also eyeing a U.S. public listing through a reverse merger deal with Nasdaq-listed Gryphon Digital Mining. Under Eric Trump’s guidance as Chief Strategy Officer, American Bitcoin emerged from a restructured American Data Centers — a Trump-linked firm that previously absorbed mining rigs from Canadian crypto firm Hut 8. The revamped entity aims to be the global leader in efficient bitcoin accumulation through a blend of treasury strategies and mining operations.
The Trump Family’s Broader Crypto Play
Eric Trump’s crypto endeavors are part of a larger movement within the Trump family. Trump Media & Technology Group, which owns Truth Social, secured over $2 billion in funding during Q2 of 2025 to establish a bitcoin treasury. Former President Donald Trump has also disclosed a whopping $57 million in earnings from World Liberty Financial, a crypto startup launched in late 2024.
This concerted push into digital assets coincides with advantageous shifts in Asian crypto regulation. Notably, Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA) is preparing to approve the first yen-backed stablecoin this fall. Simultaneously, Hong Kong has enacted a Stablecoins Ordinance requiring fiat-referenced stablecoin issuers to obtain licenses from the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA).

With regulatory frameworks maturing in regions like Japan and Hong Kong, Eric Trump’s actions suggest a long-term strategy to embed the Trump brand firmly within the future of cryptocurrency. His unwavering support for bitcoin, high valuation targets, and international business maneuvers are collectively positioning the Trump family as potentially major players in global crypto finance.
