Trump's latest 278-T filing shows combined holdings for Donald Trump, Melania Trump, and dependent children bought Coinbase, MARA, and Strategy shares during Q1, including nine Coinbase-related purchases. The biggest COIN buy was valued at $100,001-$250,000; Strategy saw eight buy/sell entries and MARA had two purchases under $50,000. Crypto equities were only a small slice of 2,000-plus disclosed buys, but the optics are obvious while Trump's administration is pushing friendly digital asset policy.

Bull case: this makes Coinbase a global financial utility, pulls TradFi liquidity onchain, scales revenue, and accelerates mass adoption. Bear case: it dilutes altcoins, centralizes power, invites heavy regulation, and could kill degen culture as capital rotates from speculative tokens into real, cash-flow assets.
