“We’re Going To The Moon”

Donald Trump Jr. and Rumble CEO Discuss Bitcoin and Free Speech at Bitcoin 2025 Conference

During an exclusive interview at the Bitcoin 2025 Conference, Rumble Founder and CEO, Chris Pavlovski, sat down with Don Trump Jr. to delve into the topics of free speech, Bitcoin, and the shifting landscape of the financial system under the current administration’s pro-crypto stance.

“I wasn’t an early adopter like many in the room back in 2012,” Trump Jr. admitted. “We were real estate guys. Finance always came easy to us.”

Trump Jr. revealed that TMTG and Truth Social are joining forces to establish a Bitcoin treasury worth $2.5 billion—a move he described as “a significant development.” This announcement coincides with new partnerships, including one with mining powerhouse Hut 8, and the launch of a new initiative focused on bolstering American Bitcoin reserves.

“We are fully committed to crypto, particularly Bitcoin,” Trump Jr. emphasized. “We are involved in three major deals. I firmly believe we are witnessing the dawn of the future of finance, and the potential is enormous.”

Chris Pavlovski echoed this sentiment, stating, “We didn’t start off as a Bitcoin company; we were a champion of free speech. However, I believe we are at a pivotal ‘all of a sudden’ moment. The floodgates are opening.”

The discussion drew parallels between Bitcoin and Rumble, noting that both have faced intense media scrutiny and regulatory challenges. Pavlovski remarked, “Bitcoin has weathered various challenges—legal hurdles, attacks. Similarly, Rumble has encountered its share of obstacles. But we are currently in an environment where the administration is highly supportive of crypto and Bitcoin.”

“Those who delay their adoption will face the toughest road ahead,” cautioned Trump Jr. “This is the future of finance, and I am thrilled to see the administration taking proactive steps in this direction.”

Rumble’s Bitcoin strategy, including the decision to accumulate reserves, was directly influenced by this favorable shift. “It instilled in me a sense of confidence that the administration is steering in the right direction,” Pavlovski remarked.

“Trump grasps these concepts swiftly,” Trump Jr. concluded. “We are aiming for the stars, folks. Hold on tight and stay resilient.”
