In an interview at today’s Bitcoin 2025 conference, Rumble founder and CEO Chris Pavlovski sat down with Jr. Don Trump Jr. to talk about free speech, earthquake shifts in Bitcoin and the financial system, burned by the current government’s Pro-Crypto stance.
Trump Jr. “We are real estate people. Finance is always easy for us.”
Trump Jr. revealed that TMTG and Truth Social are forming Bitcoin’s Treasury Department to $2.5 billion, a move called “a big deal.” The announcement is set up with new partnerships, including new partnerships with mining giant Hut 8, and a new group focused on building U.S. bitcoin reserves.
“We take cryptocurrencies seriously,” Trump Jr. stressed. “We have three major deals. I believe we are in the future of finance. The opportunity is huge.”
Chris Pavlovski agreed: “We are not a Bitcoin company, we are a free speech company. But I almost think we are in the “sudden” moment. The floodgates are opening.”
The two compared Bitcoin and Rumble, describing it as a target of ruthless media and regulatory pressure. “Bitcoin has had a huge impact on it – a small amount, attack,” Pavlovsky said. “Same as Rumble. But we are in a very close and Pro-Bitcoin environment right now.”
“The latest adopters will have the worst situation,” Trump Jr. “This is the future of finance. I’m happy to see the government step up.”
Rumble’s Bitcoin strategy, including its move to build reserves, was directly inspired by this shift. “It gives me all kinds of confidence that the government will do all the right things,” Pavlovsky said.
“Trump got these things. He got them very quickly,” Trump Jr. ended. “We’re going to the moon, guys. Stay there. Stay strong.”
