At the Bitcoin 2025 conference, Tron founder Justin Sun emphasized former U.S. President Donald Trump’s role in boosting the development of Bitcoin and the broader crypto industry.
Speaking during a panel discussion, Sun affirmed that Trump has shown strong commitment to Bitcoin and the entire crypto ecosystem. According to him, without Trump’s influence, Bitcoin’s price likely wouldn’t have broken the psychological $100,000 mark—something it achieved after Trump’s victory over Kamala Harris in last November’s election.
Sun also shared that he attended Trump’s crypto dinner as a major holder of the TRUMP meme coin. Prior to that, he had invested $75 million in World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a company with ties to the former president.
Recently, Trump declared that the U.S. is leading in Bitcoin and crypto and pledged to maintain that leadership. He has already signed an executive order establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. At the conference, Trump’s Executive Director for Digital Assets stated that the U.S. is on track to become “the world’s Bitcoin superpower.”
BITCOIN Act Set for Senate Discussion Next Week
Pro-Bitcoin Senator Cynthia Lummis revealed that the U.S. Senate will begin discussions on the BITCOIN Act next week. The bill is part of Trump’s broader vision to turn the United States into a global hub for cryptocurrency.
If passed, the BITCOIN Act would allow the U.S. government to acquire 1 million BTC over the next five years for its Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. The Senate is also reviewing the Stablecoin bill, expected to become the first major regulatory framework for the crypto industry.
Speaking at the conference, Lummis confirmed Trump’s support for the BITCOIN Act, stating that he would sign it into law if approved by Congress. She also noted that the U.S. currently holds around 200,000 BTC, although the exact figure remains undisclosed, as it has been classified following a White House-mandated audit.
