Setting the tone, in a post on X, Eric Trump, Executive Vice President of The Trump Organization, described the meeting on Jan. 3 as ” two friends, one passion: Bitcoin.”
This captures increased affiliation between high-profile personalities in business and the BTC space as more boosters embrace cryptocurrency as a sign of upgraded status. Trump is even more dedicated to publicly associating with BTC supporters like Saylor.

Eric Trump Champions Crypto And DeFi Accessibility Mission
The incoming president’s son also publicly touted crypto on his X on Aug. 7: “The 40-year-old has truly fallen in love with Crypto / DeFi.” Although he frequently insists on his role as a business figure, Trump’s participation also brings awareness to World Liberty Financial. When speaking at the X live stream on September 16, 2024, he said the firm’s mission is to make “DeFi broadly accessible.”

Saylor is one of the leading figures in the crypto sphere. He aggressively and early adopted BTC as the asset of corporate treasuries. For a long time now, Saylor has firmly supported BTC as an asset for holding value for the longer term and against inflation of fiat currency.
Under Saylor’s leadership, MicroStrategy turned into the best-performing Crypto stock of 2024, positioning the firm as one of the largest institutional holders of BTC. However, within a month of the share reaching new heights, it dropped below $300 on Dec 31.
Saylor also received a drubbing, as most analysts dismissed his Bitcoin 21/21 outlook as ‘not credible’.Nonetheless, the panning does not appear to have dented Saylor.
He’s still meeting with Eric Trump to stick to his guns and acquire 42 billion in BTC within the next 3 years. A meeting between Trump and Saylor shows how old-school businessmen are starting to embrace the emerging world of cryptocurrencies.
