Whatever happened with “blind trusts” while in office?
By Bob Djurdjevic
When Trump Media announced yesterday a $2 billion Bitcoin acquisition, the news was framed as strategic innovation. But this isn’t just another corporate pivot—it’s a potential conflict of interest of presidential proportions.
This echoes the Hunter Biden–Ukraine-Joe Biden Burisma saga in Ukraine, but on a far larger, global scale with a highly volatile, unregulated global currency.
With Donald Trump in the White House while his family’s company holds a massive Bitcoin stake, any regulatory move on crypto could raise red flags. Whether it’s loosening restrictions or just tweeting praise, markets could move—and so could personal fortunes.
The question isn’t whether presidents can invest, but whether public trust can survive when private gain is so visibly intertwined.
The presidency is not a trading platform. But if this goes unchecked, it might start looking like one.
