A Single Word or Post from Donald Trump Profoundly Affects Bitcoin (BTC)! Here Are Five Big Moments

US President Donald Trump, who has attracted attention with his strong support for Bitcoin ($BTC) and the cryptocurrency market, even launched his own altcoin during this period.

At this point, Donald Trump, who has managed to influence the market with his posts and statements, has repeatedly affected Bitcoin with his social media posts.

According to CoinDesk, Trump’s social media posts and statements have significantly impacted the Bitcoin price five times. One of these events occurred before Trump’s presidential victory in November 2024, while the others are taking place in 2025 and 2026.

1) July 2019:

The first notable date is July 11, 2019. On this date, Trump adopted a critical stance towards Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. Therefore, Trump expressed his first direct criticism with this tweet: “I’m not a fan of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, they’re not money and their value is highly volatile and up in the air.”

Bitcoin, however, experienced a sharp 7% drop within minutes of this announcement.

2) March 2025:

Around this time, Trump had abandoned his critical stance towards Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies and begun to support them.

At this point, Trump announced on Truth Social that the US government would begin strategically holding Bitcoin. Following this news, the $BTC price increased by 8% within 24 hours.

3) October 2025:

As tariffs erupted around this time, Trump announced on October 10th on Truth Social that a 100% tariff would be imposed on all imports from China.

Bitcoin experienced a drop of over 12% in approximately two hours, dragging down altcoins as well. This massive collapse of $BTC and altcoins marked the largest single-day loss in history.

4) March 2026:

On March 3, Trump used Truth Social to accuse Wall Street banks of undermining the GENIUS Act for stablecoin regulation and delaying the passage of the CLARITY Act, a comprehensive cryptocurrency framework, due to concerns about stablecoin interest rates. Bitcoin surged by 5% within minutes.

5) April 2026:

During this period, while the US-Iran war was raging, Trump announced that Iran had initiated peace talks and that the likelihood of reaching an agreement was very high. Bitcoin surged by 6% in just minutes.
