Michael Saylor's Trump Meeting Is Turbo Bullish for Bitcoin

Last night, President-elect Donald Trump’s son, Eric Trump, posted a photo of himself at Mar-a-Lago with MicroStrategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor with the caption, “Two friends, one passion: Bitcoin.”

This is so unbelievably bullish — let me explain.

For the last four years, under the Biden-Harris administration with total Democrat control, the U.S. government did their best to terrorize this industry and attack us. The overwhelming majority of the Democrat party did not support Bitcoin and followed Elizabeth Warren’s lead on demonizing the industry and its participants. They weaponized the justice system to arrest Bitcoiners, tried to tax our unrealized gains, stopped pro-Bitcoin legislation from being signed into law, de-banked industry participants via Operation Chokepoint 2.0, refused to support Bitcoin in any meaningful way, and so much more.

They were truly anti-Bitcoin. If Kamala Harris had won the presidential election, their reign of terror on Bitcoin would have continued for at least four more years. But now, the Democrats' war on Bitcoin in America is finally coming to an end. And a new administration is coming in — and they love Bitcoin.

Donald Trump is not even officially in office yet, and his family is already inviting Michael Saylor to his estate in Mar-a-Lago to discuss Bitcoin further. This isn’t the first time he’s done something like this either, like in 2024 when Trump invited American Bitcoin mining giants there to learn more about the industry and what he needs to do to best support them.

It is important to note that just two weeks ago, Saylor said on Bloomberg that he would be open to advising Donald Trump on Bitcoin. And now with him being at Mar-a-Lago, I think it is safe to speculate that something big might be brewing here.

The Trumps understand Bitcoin and continue to show their support for the asset and industry. Eric Trump recently gave a great speech at the Bitcoin MENA Conference in Abu Dhabi, explaining the characteristics that make Bitcoin an invaluable asset while also sharing his family’s personal experience being de-banked, and how Bitcoin protects individuals from being cancelled. Donald Trump Jr. made an appearance at the Bitcoin 2024 Conference in, along with his father, and showed lots of support for this asset and industry.

Donald Trump has committed to releasing Bitcoiners (Ross Ulbricht) from prison, sign pro-Bitcoin legislation into law, work with the industry to help us thrive, end Operation Chokepoint 2.0, appointed an official Crypto Czar, said “Bitcoin and crypto will skyrocket like never before” under his administration, and so much more.

Even if you’re not a fan of Trump, you have to acknowledge and give him and his family credit for the good work they’re doing to make a regulatory friendly environment for this industry to thrive in. Imagine all this industry can accomplish over the next four years being supported by the President, allowing us the room to innovate and build without fear of being harassed and demonized by our own government. I would say the sky is the limit but it’s even better than that.

Four years is a long time, especially in this industry. Lots can happen during that time and I am incredibly bullish on the future of Bitcoin in America under this incoming Trump administration.
