Bitcoin has experienced a volatile 2025, reaching a record high above $126,000 in October, then suffering a decline that saw its value fall by more than a quarter.
The world’s largest cryptocurrency is worth around $90,700 as of December 9. Not long ago, some experts predicted that it would reach $200,000 before the end of 2025. This is not likely to happen. But there is general optimism that Bitcoin will perform well in the years to come.

Part of the reason for this has to do with President Donald Trump, who has made policies to promote cryptocurrencies. According to experts, here are four reasons people might consider buying Bitcoin during Trump’s tenure.
High Demand Linked to Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and Bitcoin Act
In March 2025, Trump signed an executive order to establish the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and the US Digital Asset Stockpile. According to a White House fact sheet, the Reserve will treat Bitcoin as a “reserve asset,” capitalized and owned by the Treasury Department.
The executive order “transformed the U.S. government from a net seller of approximately 200,000 Bitcoins to a permanent holder”, said Greg Monaco, CPA, MBA, founder of Monaco CPA, a virtual firm that focuses heavily on cryptocurrency taxation and accounting.
A similar growth driver is the Bitcoin for America Act, recently introduced by Representative Warren Davidson. If signed into law, it would allow Americans to pay their federal taxes in Bitcoin and “direct all such payments into the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.”
“The Bitcoin Act proposes to acquire up to 1 million BTC over five years – approximately 5% of the total supply. Private capital is at the forefront of this sovereign bid,” Monaco told GeoBankingRates.

US government support could spread around the world
“The Trump administration has touted Bitcoin and crypto as strategically important to America’s global competitiveness,” said Nick Pukrin, a former credit analyst at Goldman Sachs and co-founder and CEO of Coin Bureau.
“This sets the stage for other countries around the world to follow suit in 2026, which is supportive for the price of Bitcoin in the long term,” Pukrin told GeoBankingRates.
‘Regulatory clarity’ opens doors for institutional infrastructure
In January, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) published Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 122, which requires changes to financial reporting for entities that safeguard crypto assets. A report from Deloitte said that SAB 122 supersedes the previous bulletin SAB 121, issued in March 2022, which made “changes to accounting and financial reporting” with respect to crypto assets.
“The repeal of SAB 121 gives major banks the flexibility to provide crypto custody,” Monaco said, adding that the SEC’s “Project Crypto” dismissed dozens of previous crypto enforcement actions.
CNBC reported that the result for crypto enthusiasts is that the industry will face much less regulation, which could clear the way for more innovation and investor dollars.
‘Ideological accumulators’ offer support ‘beyond politics’
Monaco cited on-chain data showing that nearly two-thirds (63%) of the Bitcoin supply “has not changed hands” in more than a year. Furthermore, 45% have not changed hands in three years.
No matter who is in the White House, when investors own a property, it can propel that property well into the future.
“These are not traders – they are ideological accumulators. They see Bitcoin as a shield against governments and monetary systems, [which] Creates price levels during recessions,” Monaco said.
