100-day review: Impact of Trump’s policies on Bitcoin price
Bitcoin’s rally mirrors gains in U.S. equities, with top technology stocks rising ahead of Trump’s speech. Market participants are closely watching for crypto-specific regulatory updates.
A definitive announcement on a Bitcoin strategic reserve could trigger a parabolic move towards $100,000. However, renewed focus on tariffs or aggressive budget cuts could weigh on broader markets and cap Bitcoin’s upside in the short term.
- Declining inflation
Since Trump’s inauguration, US inflation has declined steadily. According to TradingEconomics data, inflation has flattened from a 9.1% peak in 2022 to 2.4% in March 2025. Trump has claimed victory over inflation but continues to advocate tariffs, a move economists warn could reignite price pressures.

In reaction, Trump’s recently intensified calls for a rate cut, threatening to replace Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. While this sparked speculations, CME FedWatch data indicates 90.1% likelihood of another rate pause at the next May 7 FOMC meeting slated for May 7.
- Tariffs overhang on US Stocks drives Bitcoin inflows
President Trump has consistently expressed support for tariffs, viewing them as a tool to address trade imbalances. His stated intention to “impose across-the-board tariffs on most foreign-made goods” has created uncertainty in U.S. stock markets.

This uncertainty appears to be benefiting Bitcoin, which is increasingly seen by investors as a safe-haven asset, insulated from geopolitical risks and disruptions to global supply chains. For context, Bitcoin price is currently posting 5.6% year-to-date, while Nasdaq’s S&P 500 and Dow Jones index are down 5% within the same period.
Bitcoin’s relative resilience positions it to receive more capital inflows if Trump’s policies continue to overheat global TradFi markets in Q2, 2025.
Looking ahead: What’s next for Bitcoin price action this week?
Geopolitical tensions and market instability during Trump’s first 100 days have boosted Bitcoin’s appeal as a safe-haven asset.
With Bitcoin shielded from these geopolitical risks and global supply chain vulnerabilities, its resilience above the $90,000 level signals the potential for continued upward momentum.

On-chain data reinforces this outlook, with CryptoQuant’s exchange reserve charts indicating a significant outflow of Bitcoin from trading platforms.
Investors have withdrawn over $4 billion worth of Bitcoin from exchanges since Trump’s recent calls for rate cuts, with total exchange deposits falling from $237.8 billion on April 22 to $233.8 billion at the time of writing.
With demand triggers still active, the sustained drawdown in available exchange supply strengthens the case for a Bitcoin breakout towards the $100,000 milestone in the near term.
