Eric Trump, son of former US President Donald Trump and co-founder of American Bitcoin, remains unfazed by the recent volatility in cryptocurrency markets, asserting that volatility is the price to pay for achieving significant returns.
In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Trump stated, "I think volatility is your friend." This statement comes as Bitcoin (BTC) briefly dipped below $95,000, a roughly 25% decrease from its peak in early October.
The turbulence has been more pronounced in the altcoin sector, with major assets experiencing declines between 5% and 11% – a trend that originated with the market crash on October 10, which resulted in the liquidation of $19 billion in leveraged positions.
Overall, the cryptocurrency market has seen a decrease of over $1 trillion in combined market capitalization from its highest point.
For Trump, this is simply an inherent aspect of the cryptocurrency investment landscape. He added, "Anybody who can’t embrace volatility in cryptocurrency should probably get out of it. It’s actually a great opportunity for us to buy.""
Trump seems to be putting his philosophy into practice. American Bitcoin, the Bitcoin mining company he leads, which went public earlier this year through a reverse merger with Gryphon Digital Mining, added over 3,000 BTC in the third quarter, increasing its total holdings to over 4,000 BTC.
Trump has repeatedly emphasized increasing the company's Bitcoin reserves, prioritizing metrics such as its Bitcoin-per-share ratio, which he argues will ultimately bolster shareholder value.
These actions coincide with the Donald Trump administration's push for broader cryptocurrency adoption, exemplified by the January executive order on digital assets, the establishment of a federal working group on cryptocurrency markets, and the passage of significant stablecoin legislation. Nevertheless, the value of Bitcoin remains relatively unchanged since January 1.
