Former U.S. President Donald Trump's statements and social media posts have been shown to significantly impact Bitcoin prices, with fluctuations ranging from 5% to 12%. Lawmakers and experts have raised concerns regarding potential market manipulation and insider trading, particularly around well-timed trades linked to Trump's policy announcements. For instance, on July 11, 2019, Trump tweeted that he was 'not a fan of Bitcoin,' resulting in a 7.1% price drop. Conversely, on March 3, 2025, his announcement of a 'Strategic National Crypto Reserve' led to an 8.2% surge in Bitcoin's value. Other notable instances include a 12.4% decline following the announcement of 100% tariffs on Chinese imports and a 5.2% increase after Trump criticized Wall Street banks. Recently, Bitcoin rose to over $78,000 after Trump suggested peace talks with Iran, but subsequent reports of military tensions caused a drop below $76,000. Analysts predict that tightening global liquidity could further affect Bitcoin's performance in the near future.
