Eric Trump Calls Bitcoin ‘Digital Gold’ at Consensus 2025 Conference
At Consensus 2025 in Toronto, Eric Trump stated that he views bitcoin as "digital gold" and a reliable store of value. He noted his late entry into the crypto space was influenced by political attacks on both his family and the crypto community.
Key points from Trump's statements include:
- Bitcoin offers better liquidity compared to real estate.
- Real estate transactions are complex and time-consuming, contrasting with the ease of trading digital assets.
- Trump co-founded American Bitcoin, a mining firm set to go public through a merger with Gryphon Digital Mining.
- The name "American Bitcoin" was chosen to reflect national identity and association with cryptocurrency.
Trump emphasized the operational simplicity of cryptocurrencies compared to managing traditional real estate assets.
