LAS VEGAS — Eric Trump spoke at the Bitcoin Conference 2026 in Las Vegas with a message that the asset’s best days are not yet to come but are already here.
American Bitcoin (ABTC) co-founder and chief strategy officer declares that the convergence of institutional adoption, corporate coffers, and mainstream financial access makes Bitcoin its most important moment yet.
“What Bitcoin has done in the last six months compared to the previous three years is transformative,” Trump said. “We are in the greatest period I have ever seen.”
Trump pointed to major banks now offering Bitcoin-backed mortgages and escrow services as evidence of Wall Street’s reversal. “People are not selling it. People are holding it. Bitcoin is getting sticky,” Trump said, adding that limited supply and growing demand from institutions and sovereign governments were structurally compressing the market.
Moderator Eric Balchunas, senior ETF analyst at Bloomberg, shed light on this shift from the perspective of the ETF market, noting that Bitcoin ETFs have been among the most successful products in the history of the instrument, democratizing investing for everyday investors in ways previously reserved for institutions.
“I’m going to ride out the volatility,” Trump said. “We’ll see in 10 years who wins.”
