Bitcoin at $1 million? Eric Trump's shocking prediction sparks euphoria

Can bitcoin reach $1 million? The question is back at the center of debate following an on-camera statement by Eric Trump at the World Liberty Forum. Here's what you need to know.

Eric Trump does not present a mathematical model, he expresses a conviction

According (https://www.cnbc.com/video/2026/02/18/eric-trump-ive-never-been-more-bullish-on-bitcoin-in-my-life.html) to Eric Trump, bitcoin has unique potential. His main argument is based on its limited supply of 21 million units. To date, more than 19.6 million BTC have already been issued. The next halving, scheduled for 2028, will further reduce the creation of new bitcoins.

Amid ongoing macroeconomic tensions, some market participants view bitcoin as an alternative store of value. The launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs has reinforced this dynamic. In 2025, these crypto products recorded several billion dollars in cumulative inflows, according to public market data.

Another key point: bitcoin's market capitalization now exceeds $1 trillion during bullish phases. To reach $1 million per unit, total market capitalization would need to surpass $20 trillion. Eric Trump's scenario would therefore imply a profound transformation of the crypto market, along with broader global adoption.

Bitcoin has already experienced corrections of more than 50% in its history. The $1 million prediction is therefore based on a long-term projection tied to:

- digital scarcity;
- the expansion of the ecosystem.

Bitcoin dominates the market, but other projects aim to leverage blockchain momentum

This notably includes Minotaurus (MTAUR) (http://minotaurus.io/insight/3bc6de4317b2f1256f83), a crypto project developing a gaming universe built on decentralized technology.

At the time of writing, the total supply of the MTAUR token stands at 100,000,000 units. The announced allocation is structured as follows:

- 60% for the presale;
- 10% for liquidity;
- 10% for marketing;
- 10% for airdrops and incentives;
- 8% for ecosystem development;
- 2% for the team.

The Minotaurus (http://minotaurus.io/insight/3bc6de4317b2f1256f83) project presents a multi-phase roadmap, including the progressive launch of the game and the expansion of its technical infrastructure. It relies on:

- the principles of a decentralized network;
- transparent transactions through blockchain technology.

Bitcoin: price analysis and projection toward $1 million

At the time of writing, BTC is moving within a consolidation range. According to available data, the price of this crypto asset is currently fluctuating between $60,000 and $70,000. Technical analysts are closely monitoring resistance levels near previous all-time highs.

Bitcoin has gone through several major cycles since 2013. Crypto analysts particularly focus on price movements following each halving event. Historically, BTC has experienced significant expansion within 12 to 18 months after each halving.

- In 2017, it reached nearly $20,000.
- In 2021, it surpassed $69,000.
- In 2024, a new all-time high was recorded above $70,000.

To envision bitcoin at $1 million, some models extrapolate its logarithmic growth curve. Others compare it to gold. Under this reasoning, digital store-of-value assets could capture a share of the global alternative asset market.

Still, crypto market volatility calls for caution. Cycles remain irregular. Correlation with macroeconomic variables also continues to fluctuate. Moreover, bitcoin operates within an environment that is constantly evolving.

One thing is certain: bitcoin remains at the center of global discussions. Reaching $1 million is, for now, a projection. Yet bitcoin's history has surprised the market more than once. The evolution of the next cycles will determine whether this prediction becomes reality. To be continue.
