Bitcoin holds its ground as Trump’s tariffs put investors on the back foot and projects like $ETH, $DOGE, and BTC Bull Token, that are directly connected to $BTC’s success, may capitalize on it.
$BTC lost 22.5% of its value between February 4 and March 11, 2025, falling from $101K to $78K, while the market as a whole shaved $300B off of its value.
The recoil was so brutal that it even brought critics like Peter Schiff to accuse Trump of deliberate market manipulation:
However, despite the controversy and the market’s sudden free-fall, Bitcoin appears to remain solid and even shows signs of recovery. So, what is going on?
How Trump’s Policies Shape the Crypto Market
Alexis Sirkia, co-founder of GSR and CEO of Yellow Capital, bit back at Peter Schiff’s anti-Trump rhetoric, stating his unequivocal trust in the crypto market:
In his words: ‘The value of Bitcoin is still the same […] It’s still $100,000, now there’s just a 20% discount because of risk and uncertainty.’
In Alexis’s view, the coin is in full bullish mode and he’s not the only one riding this wave.
We naturally disagree with Alexis in the short-term, but we 100% agree in the long-term, once Bitcoin would have regained its strength.
The Secretary of Commerce, Howard Lutnik, also expressed his unwavering confidence in the future of the crypto market. In a March 12, 2025, interview for CBS, he stated that Trump’s tariff policies are worth it even if they would lead to a recession:
‘These policies are the most important thing America has ever had.[…] It is worth it. These policies produce revenue and growth, they produce factories being built here.’
Recent $12B Open Interest Wipeout Still Positive for Bitcoin
In the spirit of ‘bad Bitcoin news is good Bitcoin news,’ the recent $12B loss in open interest rate is still positive for the token believes DarkFost, the CryptoQuant contributor:
His vote of confidence is shared by many other higher-ups in the crypto and political space, including NYDG’s research head Greg Cipolaro, in a November 11, 2024, note, stated that:
‘Not owning the asset is going to become a liability in the future. Investors who may have found it easy to dismiss or ignore the asset for various reasons will continue to do so at their financial peril.’
One could disagree with this view, but, if history taught us anything, Bitcoin is almost guaranteed to prove any naysayers wrong.
These (not so) hot takes come in the context of David Sacks (former Paypal exec and Trump’s newly appointed AI & Crypto Czar) announcing that Trump’s Digital Asset Stockpile will include four other tokens, aside from Bitcoin.
In the same post, he also said that:
‘The U.S. will not sell any bitcoin deposited into the Reserve. It will be kept as a store of value. The Reserve is like a digital Fort Knox for the cryptocurrency often called “digital gold”.’
This HODL strategy, especially coming from the White House itself, may benefit Bitcoin profoundly in the long-term, given that the US is currently the biggest crypto player in the world.
These statements have the power to not only rally investors, but potentially fuel promising meme coins like BTC Bull Token.
How BTC Bull Token ($BTCBULL) May Turn Bullish
BTC Bull Token ($BTCBULL) is one of the hottest meme coins and currently one of the best presales available. The presale has raised over $3.7M so far with $BTCBULL being valued at $0.002415.
The new crypto project aims to capitalize on Bitcoin’s success and follow the King coin towards a $1M evaluation and beyond. To achieve this goal, the team relies on more than just community hype:
Bitcoin airdrops: $BTCBULL holders will receive $BTC airdrops at key $BTC price points ($150K, $200K).
$BTCBULL airdrop: One meaty $BTCBULL airdrop (10% of the total token supply split among holders) is programmed for when Bitcoin reaches the $250K price mark.
Token burn: The team also burns tokens based on $BTC’s price movement ($125K, $175K, and $225K).
These measures are meant to create upwards price pressure for $BTCBULL, linking the token to Bitcoin’s market progress.
The staking pool is already close to 1B-strong, with stakers enjoying an APY of 113% with a dynamic reward rate. Since the APY drops as stakers keep coming into the pool, joining the pack early may prove very rewarding in the long run.
The project’s whitepaper explains the team’s vision in detail and establishes a clear roadmap post public listing.
Remember that this isn’t financial advice. Always DYOR (Do Your Own Research) before investing, no matter how FOMO-inducing (Fear of Missing Out) the project may be.

Is the Bitcoin Bull Here?
Yes, $BTC does appear to be entering its long-awaited bullish cycle, if we’re to believe the most confident voices in the crypto-sphere.
Trump’s Federal Reserve was only the beginning in a seemingly long list of $BTC-endorsing policies. Senator Cynthia Lummis’s Bitcoin Act meant to expand the capacity of the Federal Reserve to 1M+ tokens quickly followed it.
This explains why, despite Trump’s ‘tariff war,’ the King coin holds strong and appears to start brandishing its horns.
Projects like BTC Bull Token will also hugely benefit from BTC’s upward trend, as it tends to behave like a tide that raises everything, including alt and meme coins.
