Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) is down 11% since Donald Trump took office in January 2025, while the Trump family added $1.4 billion to their fortune through crypto ventures—exposing the gap between political promises and market performance.
The Performance Gap Nobody Expected
Bitcoin traded at $101,000 when Trump took office one year ago. Today it sits below $90,000—an 11% decline.
The comparison to Biden’s first year makes it even more striking.
Under Biden, Bitcoin climbed from $36,000 to $41,700—a 16% gain—even as his administration sued crypto companies and pushed enforcement-heavy regulation.
The irony: Trump promised to make America the “crypto capital of the world,” appointed friendly regulators, and dropped lawsuits against the industry. Yet Bitcoin performed worse under the crypto-friendly president.
Meanwhile, the Trump family quietly built a $1.4 billion crypto empire.
