Trump earns billions from Bitcoin amid market crash

Donald Trump has made significant money from cryptocurrency. According to analyst Michaël van de Poppe, the US president has generated no less than $1.4 billion in profit from his crypto investments. This happened while markets were under pressure, allowing friends and insiders to pick up cheap Bitcoin and other altcoins.

Bitcoin is available at OKX and Bybit.

Strategic timing for big gains

The timing of Trump’s position building appears crucial. Markets crashed in the period leading up to these gains, meaning he and his circle could stack at low prices. This pattern is often seen with large players who have sufficient resources to weather headwinds and then buy massively when others are panicking.

According to Van de Poppe, making these gains public sends a clear signal. Now that his position is known, Trump will likely be more inclined to speak positively about cryptocurrency and adjust policy accordingly. This kind of influence from the top can have major consequences for market sentiment.

Signal for upward movement

The analyst sees a strongly bullish signal in Trump’s actions. When large insiders have already built their positions and now make them public, this means, in his view, that they are ready for the next rise. This would explain why Bitcoin is up 1.8% today to $61K, while sentiment is turning around.

Historically, large accumulations by whale investors and political figures often precede major market moves. The timing of Trump’s profit disclosure appears no coincidence. With his influence, he can significantly affect sentiment around crypto, which could precisely contribute to the altseason many traders are waiting for.

It remains to be seen whether Van de Poppe’s prediction comes true, but the fact that major power positions are investing heavily in crypto gives other investors clarity about where insider money is going.
