Bitcoin Under Trump Vs Biden: Who Actually Helped Crypto the Most?

Few topics divide the crypto industry more than politics. Donald Trump is often referred to as “America’s first crypto president,” while the Biden administration earned a reputation for being hostile toward the sector.

But when rhetoric is stripped away and replaced with market data, the picture becomes more nuanced. The key question is not which administration spoke more favorably about crypto, but under whose leadership Bitcoin ultimately performed better.

Bitcoin Performance: The Numbers Tell a Clear Story

In the 2024 United States presidential election, Trump positioned himself as a pro-crypto candidate, vowing to make the US the “crypto capital of the world.” He promised to halt anti-crypto actions, rein in SEC crackdowns, and stated:

“End Joe Biden’s war on crypto and we will ensure that the future of crypto and the future of Bitcoin will be made in America.”

This fueled optimism in the market and ignited hopes for a bull run. Fast forward to near the end of 2025, and Bitcoin is down nearly 5%.

By comparison, during Biden’s first year as president, the world’s largest cryptocurrency gained roughly 65%. Performance weakened in 2022, but momentum returned in the following years.

Bitcoin rebounded strongly, rising approximately 155% in 2023 and a further 120.7% in 2024.
