- Michael Saylor’s poll, which explored the most Bitcoin-friendly presidential candidate, garnered over 105+ responses.
- The community showered massive support for Donald Trump with 90.9% votes.
- Trump’s pro-crypto stance has sparked speculations of Bitcoin’s potential surge.
MicroStrategy’s Michael Saylor conducted a poll on X to gauge the influence of presidential candidates Donald Trump and Kamala Harris on the crypto market. With the election approaching, the Bitcoin advocate stirred debate by asking which candidate holds greater support among Bitcoin enthusiasts. The poll drew over 105,000 votes, with 90.9% favoring Trump and only 9.1% backing Harris.
Trump’s Crypto-Friendly Position Gains Momentum
The results reflect Trump’s popularity within the crypto community. Trump, who once took a cautious stance on crypto, has recently embraced a pro-Bitcoin platform in his campaign, even calling himself the “crypto president.” Criticizing President Joe Biden and his administration’s approach to crypto regulation, Trump promised to transform the United States into a “Bitcoin superpower.”

Notably, Trump became the first U.S. president to accept Bitcoin donations in a campaign. At the Bitcoin 2024 Conference in Nashville, he endorsed Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset, drawing support from crypto advocates.
Harris’s Position on Crypto Remains Uncertain
Kamala Harris has largely remained silent on cryptocurrency, though she has spoken in favor of emerging technologies like AI and digital assets while emphasizing consumer protection. However, her connections with crypto critics have left some in the community doubtful of her commitment to advancing crypto-friendly policies. Crypto advocate Jake Chervinsky raised concerns about her vague promises of “progress,” warning that some anti-crypto voices use terms like “consumer protection” to justify restrictive measures.
Some analysts believe a Trump victory could lead to new all-time highs for Bitcoin, as his pro-crypto stance may create favorable conditions for the industry. Fueling these expectations, Polymarket data currently shows Trump leading Harris by a margin of over 33%.
