✨In an interview with CNBC during the World Liberty Forum held at Mar-a-Lago on February 19, 2026 (along with his brother Donald Trump Jr.), Eric Trump, son of US President Donald Trump and who describes himself as a "Bitcoin maxi," once again clearly stated that Bitcoin will reach the $1 million level in the long term. Speaking to CNBC at the World Liberty Forum, Trump reinforced his claim by saying, "I'm a huge proponent because I do think it hits $1 million dollars," and added: "You're going to have volatility with something that has tremendous upside… I've never been more bullish on bitcoin in my life."

At the time of the interview, Bitcoin was around $67,000. Today, the price has risen to $70,762.61. Bitcoin has increased by 0.05% in the last 24 hours. Its market capitalization has exceeded $1.415 trillion, and its 24-hour trading volume is at $10.54 billion.

✨Trump, in his speech, drew attention to Bitcoin's performance in the last two years: "Go back two years. Bitcoin was at $16,000. Where is it at right now?" he asked, highlighting its nearly fourfold increase. He also defended its average annual return of 70% over the last 10 years, saying that "no asset class has performed better than Bitcoin." Eric Trump is also the co-founder and CEO of American Bitcoin Corp; the company currently holds approximately 6,039 BTC. The family has also made a strong entry into the stablecoin and digital asset space with the World Liberty Financial (WLFI) project. These statements once again highlight the Trump family's crypto-friendly stance and parallel discussions about a possible national Bitcoin reserve in the US. Market analysts find Eric Trump's long-term $1 million target "realistic." Bitcoin's fixed supply limit of 21 million is being discussed as potentially reaching this level in the 2030s, driven by accelerating institutional adoption (ETFs, corporate balance sheets) and potential regulatory relaxation. In the short term, volatility persists; however, Trump's emphasis on a "tremendous upside" is encouraging many investors to hold long-term positions. While Bitcoin is currently trading below its all-time high of $126,000 (October 2025), it closed 2025 at approximately $88,750. Although Eric Trump's August 2025 prediction of "$175,000 by the end of the year" hasn't come true, his unwavering long-term target of $1 million is noteworthy.

🙋 Eric Trump's words are not just a prediction; they are also a tangible reflection of the Trump family's crypto vision. With Bitcoin currently trading around $70,762, what are your thoughts on the "$1 million" target?
