Trump's sons send a strong message from Las Vegas originally appeared on TheStreet .
The Trump family is well-known for its involvement with several crypto businesses. President Donald Trump himself has pursued an aggressive pro-crypto policy during his second term, the most crucial step being his order to create a strategic Bitcoin reserve and digital assets stockpile.
Now that Bitcoin 2025, arguably the largest crypto gathering in the world, takes place in Las Vegas, the Trump family just had to be there.
Trump's two eldest sons, Donald Jr. and Eric , took the stage at the conference on May 28 and didn't hold back on any questions.
When asked what minimum price Bitcoin could hit by 2026, Eric responded, "The Moon!"
Eric clarified that he expected Bitcoin to hit at least $170,000 by 2026. Trump Jr. expected the king coin to hit the price target of $150,000-$175,000 by 2026.
“We are bringing Bitcoin to America, and America is going to win the crypto revolution,” Eric added. He also made mention of the Trump Media and Technology Group's (Nasdaq: DJT) recent announcement to raise $2.5 billion to create a corporate Bitcoin treasury.
There is a lot of demand for Bitcoin among companies but the supply is limited, Eric pointed out. Crypto makes everything cheaper, faster, safer, and more transparent, he continued. "It makes the whole system more functional."
Vice President J.D. Vance also made it to the event in America's party capital a day earlier, where he talked about the Trump administration's pro-crypto approach. He also confessed to owning "a fair amount of Bitcoin."
The Trump family is engaged with or backs multiple crypto ventures, such as the much-publicized meme coins , crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs), the World Liberty Financial project, and USD1 stablecoin . The First Family's deep involvement with such ventures has raised questions about potential conflicts of interest.
