In Las Vegas, Eric Trump asserted that bitcoin’s most significant era is already upon us while speaking at Bitcoin 2026. As co-founder and chief strategy officer of American Bitcoin (ABTC), he emphasized the transformative role of institutional adoption, corporate treasuries, and wider financial accessibility in this pivotal moment for bitcoin.
“The advancements we’ve seen in the past six months surpass those from the last three years,” Trump remarked. “We’re witnessing its greatest period to date.”
He cited major banks now offering services like bitcoin-backed mortgages and custody solutions as indicators of Wall Street’s changing stance, noting that bitcoin is increasingly being held rather than sold. According to Trump, a structural tightening in the market results from limited supply meeting growing demand from both institutions and governments.
Eric Balchunas, Bloomberg’s senior ETF analyst, highlighted this transition by discussing the success of bitcoin ETFs, which have broadened investor access traditionally limited to institutional players.
“I’ll endure any volatility,” Trump concluded. “We’ll see who comes out ahead over a decade.”
