Donald Trump Jr. Launches $2.5 Billion Bitcoin Initiative at Las Vegas Conference

During the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas on May 27, Donald Trump Jr. engaged in a discussion with Chris Pavlovski, the CEO and founder of Rumble, focusing on Bitcoin and the evolving financial landscape.

When asked about his outlook for Bitcoin over the next two to five years, Trump Jr. enthusiastically remarked, “I hinted at this before, but we’re headed to the moon, folks; it’s going to be fantastic. Hold on tight and stay resilient.”

“We’re invested in various aspects, whether it’s through Truth Social, American Bitcoin in mining, or World Liberty Financial in the DeFi space … we are genuine supporters.”

$2.5B Bitcoin Treasury

Trump Jr. stated earlier in the interview that they are “very bullish on crypto, particularly on Bitcoin,” revealing that the Trump media group TMGT is “literally developing a Bitcoin treasury worth $2.5 billion,” which was met with enthusiastic applause from the audience.

“Not many have undertaken something of this scale or demonstrated such dedication,” he noted.

He explained that assets would be gathered through partnerships like American Bitcoin in collaboration with Hut 8, along with other cryptocurrencies through the WLF DeFi platform, although specific tokens were not identified.

“In my view, DeFi will transform numerous elements of the financial landscape and create the efficiencies that traditional finance has been lacking.”

Discussing traditional banks, Trump Jr. remarked that these institutions are “slow to adapt” because they perceive many new technologies as threats.

“Every day, I notice someone else embracing this or incorporating a bit of Bitcoin; I believe we are nearing the moment when the floodgates will open.”

He concluded that establishing a regulatory framework to keep this new financial sector within America is essential, rather than allowing it to be relocated elsewhere.

Trump Supports $1B Bitcoin Reserve

Donald Trump Jr. was not the only one expressing strong enthusiasm for Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.

Senator Cynthia Lummis also spoke at the Bitcoin 2025 conference, stating that she aims to bring the Bitcoin Act to the “attention of the American populace and the globe,” and mentioned that “President Trump backs the bill.”

This legislation, which was reintroduced in March, proposes that the US government acquire 1 million BTC over a five-year period for a strategic reserve.
