<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

Former President Donald Trump was ordered to pay <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/37382129/trumps-appeal-against-450m-judgment-collection-rejected-by-ny-judge-former-presidents-properties-at">$355 million in penalties</a> for fraud charges and profits on the sale of different assets.&nbsp;
The penalties have been accumulating interest at a rate of 9% per year and have snowballed to current liabilities above $450 million. The fine is growing at a rate of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/37235445/donald-trumps-unpaid-355m-fine-accumulates-2-6m-in-interest-every-month-judge-rules">$2.6 million per month</a>. The penalties have put Trump at risk of the court seizing his assets.&nbsp;
With a costly presidential campaign and high levels of financial scrutiny, Trump's ability to repay the fine is questionable, and many wonder whether he will be able to pay it back at all.&nbsp;
Don't Miss:

<li>If you invested $100 in DOGE when Elon Musk first tweeted about it in 2019,<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/etoro-doge"> here&#8217;s how much you&#8217;d have today</a>.</li>
<li>Bitcoin has jumped another 45% already this year &#8211;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/kraken"> how much would you need to get started today?</a></li>
</ul>
But Trump's crypto holdings are not often considered in this ordeal. While the holdings are just a drop in the bucket compared to the amount owed, the potential price appreciation could help Trump pay the penalties.
Trump's crypto portfolio was discovered by Arkham Intelligence, which cross-referenced Trump's financial disclosures with transactions on the blockchain to find his <a href="https://platform.arkhamintelligence.com/explorer/entity/donald-trump">wallet address</a>.&nbsp;
The wallet holds several million dollars in cryptocurrency, most of which is between three different tokens: Ethereum (ETH) Wrapped Ethereum (WETH) and MAGA Coin (TRUMP).
The ETH and WETH were obtained through the Trump Digital Trading Cards non-fungible token (NFT) project. Though Trump was not affiliated with the project, the creators gave him royalties exceeding 1,700 ETH. In December, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/02/37185916/donald-trump-sold-2-4-million-in-eth-last-month-missed-out-on-500-000-in-potential-profit">Trump sold 1,075 of these ETH tokens</a>, which generated proceeds of $2.4 million.&nbsp;

<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />
Regarding potential growth, the roughly 700 ETH Trump has remaining could be worth as much as $7 million by the end of 2025, based on a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/ethereum-eth-price-predictions">price prediction</a> of $10,000. Trump could also continue to receive cash from NFT projects and royalties in the future.
While ETH could see growth in the coming months and years, Trump could generate much more profit from MAGA Coin (TRUMP). The creators of this token sent Trump 580,000 tokens when the project launched in August. At the time, the tokens were worth a few thousand dollars, but they have since appreciated to over $3 million.&nbsp;
The token could continue to grow if Trump wins the election in November or if he directly endorses the project. Other meme coins, such as dogwifhat (WIF) and Bonk (BONK) have attracted investment to the order of several billion dollars. So, if MAGA Coin were to reach a market cap of $3 billion, similar to WIF, the price would be around $70, and Trump's position would be worth over $40 million.&nbsp;
This is unlikely to happen, as a $3 billion market cap is far from the current level of around $250 million, and numerous events would have to play out for the token to get there.&nbsp;
With that in mind, Trump's crypto dealings have a small chance of providing relief to his financial situation. Because the portfolio is public, anyone can monitor his positions and how much he has in crypto.&nbsp;

In a recent prediction, Strike CEO Jack Mallers has forecasted a potential seven-figure price for Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) during the current cycle, driven by efforts to save the bond market.
What Happened: Mallers, the head of Bitcoin&#8217;s Lightning Network wallet Strike, believes that Bitcoin could appreciate between 297% and 1,486% from its current level, Daily Hodl <a href="https://dailyhodl.com/2024/04/26/violent-to-the-upside-this-catalyst-could-see-bitcoin-explode-by-up-to-1486-says-strike-ceo-jack-mallers/">reported</a> on Friday. This prediction is based on the potential loosening of monetary policy in an attempt to save the bond market.
Mallers pointed out that the bond market is facing significant challenges for arguably the first time in modern financial history. He noted that bondholders, including banks, are suffering as the bonds purchased with their deposits are underwater.

Mallers suggests that if central banks and governments attempt to salvage the bond market, the required liquidity will send asset prices soaring. 
He stated, &#8220;So if that happens it&#8217;s impossible to speculate on an asset as scarce as Bitcoin. But I think $250,000 to one million is the imagination I have in that range of just how big this can get.&#8221;
He further emphasized that the price of Bitcoin is the &#8220;most accurate key performance indicator (KPI)&#8221; for its adoption. Mallers expects more global adoption of Bitcoin as a monetary unit, which he believes will drive its value &#8220;violent to the upside&#8221; against the dollar and other fiat currencies.
Why It Matters: Earlier, a significant technical indicator had<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/04/38450026/bitcoin-sell-signal-on-12-hour-chart-sparks-concerns-analyst-warns-exercise-caution-given-"> prompted a sell-off signal for Bitcoin</a>, raising concerns among traders and investors. The digital currency was also encountering resistance at the mid-level of a parallel channel.
However, cryptocurrency influencer and analyst Lark Davis also shared a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/04/38407752/bitcoin-veteran-warns-crypto-bears-you-have-no-idea-how-crazy-this-bull-run-is-about-to-be"> bullish outlook on the Bitcoin </a>market, indicating that the bull run was far from over. He cited several key factors, including a 6.4% surge in large transaction volume to $47.1 billion.
Price Action: According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>, Bitcoin was trading at 0.68% lower at $63,855.60.
