Trump Administration Could Significantly Influence Crypto Landscape: Bitwise CEO

Bitwise Asset Management CEO Hunter Horsley is optimistic that the Trump administration’s economic policies would propel crypto landscape in 2025.

In an X post on Monday, Horsley wrote that the administration may “unfreeze” mergers and acquisitions (M&As), allowing major companies to expand further.

“Amazon could buy Instacart. Google could buy Uber. Etc,” he wrote. “The big may get bigger, and the middle may shrink.”

Trump administration may unfreeze M&A.

Large corporates — mag 7, etc — may finally be able to wield their market cap. Amazon could buy Instacart. Google could buy Uber. etc etc

The big may get bigger, and the middle may shrink.

If that happens, I think it will accelerate…

Horsley added that he feels the world is on the “precipice of change in 2025.”

“The enemy is stagnation, not change. Progress requires change. I’m super fired up for it.”

Further, pinning a Tweet of the top 70 corporate Bitcoin holders, he said that this year would see the arrival of more corporates.

According to HODL 15 Capital, 11 publicly traded companies bought more Bitcoin since last Monday. Additionally, at least 16 billionaires have invested in Bitcoin, signalling growing confidence among the world’s wealthiest individuals.

“2025 is going to see a lot of corporations joining the Bitcoin standard,” Horsley noted.

His post follows MicroStrategy co-founder Michael Saylor’s another Bitcoin purchase lead-in on Sunday. Saylor teased a BTC chart, hinting at an impending Bitcoin acquisition on Monday. He has a history of posting on Sundays before his Bitcoin purchases the next day.

Tokenization Can Be a Revolutionary New Possibility: Horsley

The Bitwise CEO has also made some predictions regarding tokenization in one of his posts. “I think tokenization may revolutionize equity markets,” he wrote.

He argued that most people focus on the demand side, including democratizing access to money market funds. However, Horsley stressed that the revolution is the supply side.

Horsley noted that around 4,600 companies in the US can access the public equity markets. Further, more than 200,000 companies in the US are doing over $10M in revenue.

“I think for these companies — the supply side — tokenization can be a revolutionary new possibility,” he wrote. “This isn’t the only category of tokenization that may matter, but I think it’s potentially a revolutionary one.”
