Trump Sons Tout a $1 Million Bitcoin Price as Goldman CEO Says He Owns BTC
Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. used a CNBC interview this week to renew their public support for Bitcoin, calling it the defining asset class for a new generation and predicting a major price expansion ahead.
Speaking during a wide-ranging discussion that touched on stablecoins and broader cryptocurrency adoption during the World Liberty Forum, Eric Trump said he remains “a huge proponent of Bitcoin” and argued the asset could eventually reach $1 million.
He pointed to Bitcoin’s long-term performance, touching on its recovery from lows near $16,000 two years ago and claiming it has delivered strong average annual gains over the past decade.
Trump framed volatility as a natural feature of an emerging asset with significant upside, contrasting BTC with lower-yielding traditional investments such as municipal bonds or U.S. Treasuries.
“I’ve never been more bullish on bitcoin in my life,” Trump said.
The Trump sons also highlighted what they see as accelerating institutional acceptance. Eric Trump cited major financial firms including Fidelity, Charles Schwab, JPMorgan, BlackRock, and Goldman Sachs as examples of Wall Street’s increasing engagement with digital assets.
He claimed private wealth clients are being allocated higher percentages of crypto exposure than in past years, positioning Bitcoin as an investment theme for people under 50.

Goldman Sachs CEO owns bitcoin
The comments came as traditional finance leaders signaled a cautious shift in tone. Goldman Sachs Chief Executive Officer David Solomon disclosed that he now holds a small amount of BTC, speaking at the World Liberty Forum held at Mar-a-Lago in Florida.
Solomon described his holdings as “very, very limited” and said he is not a “great Bitcoin prognosticator,” casting himself as more of an observer than an advocate.
His remarks reflect the growing proximity between established financial institutions and the crypto sector after years of regulatory constraints that kept firms like Goldman largely on the sidelines.
Solomon has previously expressed skepticism about BTC’s practical role. In a 2024 CNBC interview, he characterized the asset as speculative and questioned its real-world use case, while acknowledging its volatility and investor interest.
