Trump has increased Bitcoin engagement, with Trump Media raising $2.3 billion for a Bitcoin treasury. Peter Schiff remains a vocal critic, emphasizing Bitcoin’s speculative risks and lack of real utility. Conversion of U.S. dollars into Bitcoin is central to Schiff’s concerns, fearing risks to the dollar’s standing. Trump describes Bitcoin as a complement to the dollar and a job creator.
