By Nermeen Nabil Khear According to VanEck’s Head of Digital Assets Research, these tariffs are accelerating Bitcoin’s growth.
From a speculative asset to a functional monetary tool. Countries are increasingly looking to sidestep the U.S.-led financial system. So, how Trump’s tariffs will affect the crypto industry?
Tariffs Drive Global Shift Toward Bitcoin
VanEck’s analysis highlights how the tariffs, which have reignited global trade tensions, are driving nations to explore alternatives to the U.S. dollar. Bitcoin initially took a hit, dipping from $85K to the $81K range after the announcement, but it has still outperformed the Nasdaq across multiple timeframes—1 week, 1 month, year-to-date, and over the past 1, 2, 3, 5, and 10 years.
Sigel warns that if tariffs slow GDP growth and spark inflation, the Fed might cut rates, creating liquidity conditions where Bitcoin has historically thrived. Meanwhile, the “weaponization of trade and financial infrastructure” is pushing countries toward neutral settlement systems like Bitcoin.

The shift is already happening. China and Russia are settling energy transactions in Bitcoin and other digital assets, a move that’s no longer just theoretical. Bolivia is jumping on the bandwagon, planning to import electricity using crypto, while French energy utility EDF is exploring whether it can mine Bitcoin with surplus power currently exported to Germany.
More About Bitcoin
MicroStrategy’s recent filing reveals that the company may be forced to sell Bitcoin below its cost basis if the market downturn continues. This move could be necessary to service their debt obligations, highlighting the risks they face as they hold a large Bitcoin position.

If market conditions don’t improve, the company might need to sell part of its Bitcoin holdings at a loss to meet its financial commitments, potentially putting its strategy of Bitcoin accumulation under pressure.
