"You’re Welcome!!!" Trump Celebrates Bitcoin’s Historic $100K Milestone with Bold Crypto Vision

President-elect Donald Trump celebrated a historic moment for Bitcoin on Thursday, taking credit for the cryptocurrency shattering its $100,000 milestone. In a triumphant post on Truth Social, Trump wrote, “Congratulations Bitcoiners! $100,000!!! You’re welcome!!! Together, we will make America great again!”

The surge in Bitcoin’s value comes on the heels of Trump’s pro-crypto stance during his campaign, sparking a 47% price rally over the past 30 days. By late Wednesday, Bitcoin hit an all-time high of $103,679, solidifying its growing role as a cornerstone of Trump’s political and economic agenda.

Trump’s alignment with Bitcoin enthusiasts has been deliberate and strategic. Last July, he addressed the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville, pledging bold actions that resonated deeply within the crypto community. These included promises to pardon Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht, oust SEC Chair Gary Gensler, and position the U.S. as a global hub for crypto mining.

“If crypto is going to define the future, I want it to be mined, minted, and made in the USA,” Trump declared at the conference, cementing his vision of a Bitcoin-driven economic revival.

True to his word, Trump has already acted on his campaign promises. He nominated crypto-friendly Paul Atkins to replace Gensler as SEC chairman, signaling a regulatory shift favorable to the digital asset industry. Meanwhile, the Republican Party has echoed Trump’s enthusiasm, incorporating crypto-friendly policies into its platform, including protecting miners, supporting self-custody of digital assets, and opposing central bank digital currencies (CBDCs).

As Trump prepares to re-enter the White House on January 20, 2025, his crypto-centric vision continues to gain traction. Bitcoin’s unprecedented price surge underlines not only its growing importance in U.S. politics but also Trump’s ability to leverage it as a symbol of American innovation and leadership.
