Mark Cuban says that tech billionaires supporting Donald Trump's 2024 presidential bid see it as a "Bitcoin play" rather than strong crypto policies. Lower taxes, tariffs, and geopolitical uncertainty under Trump could be inflationary and increase Bitcoin prices. Cuban argues that a Trump presidency could hurt the US dollar's status as the world's main reserve currency. Other factors, like global political instability, could push Bitcoin to become a safe-haven asset. Trump has shifted his stance on cryptocurrencies from dismissing them in 2019 to saying the US needs to embrace crypto to avoid losing out to China. Bitcoin rallied after a failed assassination attempt on Trump over the weekend.
