At the Bitcoin 2026 conference in Las Vegas, Trump declared his “absolute conviction” that Bitcoin will hit $1 million.

“I don’t know if it’s 2030. I don’t know if it’s 2031, but I absolutely believe it gets there. I believe we are in the infancy. I think our best days are ahead of us,” Trump said.
