Trump Media unveiled plans to launch a $2.5 billion Bitcoin strategy, and this aided BTC’s rally to $110,000. Amid this development, the Ripple community is wondering whether Trump could pick XRP as one of the altcoins that will be used to diversify his Bitcoin strategy plan. If this happens, how high could XRP price rally?
XRP Price if Trump Adds Ripple to $2.5B Bitcoin Strategy
As reported by CoinGape, Trump Media is seeking $2.5B in capital for its Bitcoin treasury. If the company decides to diversify its portfolio by acquiring a US-made altcoin such as XRP, it will have a net positive impact on the token’s price. As for how high XRP might go depends on the amount of raised capital that goes towards Ripple purchases.

ChatGPT provides estimates of the XRP price impact depending on how much of the $2.5 billion goes towards Ripple.
If Trump Media uses only 5% of the $2.5 billion in raised capital to buy XRP, the company will have to purchase 54 million XRP tokens. These tokens will be worth $125 million if they are bought at the current XRP price of $2.28, and this could drive a 14% price rally to $2.60.
In case Trump Media uses 15% of $2.5 billion to buy XRP, it will hold 164 million tokens worth $375 million at the current price. This would bolster a 40% price rally to $3.20 within a few weeks.
Lastly, if Trump Media chooses to have a significant portion of its crypto portfolio in XRP, say 25%, it will buy 275 million tokens. The effect of this purchase on price would be massive, as the resulting demand would push the price above $5.

Grok3 Foresees Rally to $25
Meanwhile, Grok3 notes that if Trump Media starts buying XRP, the price will increase by more than 100%, surpassing $5 before the end of 2025. It further notes,
“A more optimistic scenario, driven by media hype and FOMO, could see XRP reach $10-$15, especially if accompanied by regulatory clarity or ETF approvals.”
Grok adds that if the bullish momentum triggered by this purchase extends into 2026, the XRP price could surge to $25 if the Ripple ecosystem also achieves massive expansion.
Can Trump Add XRP to His $2.5B Bitcoin Strategy?
Trump Media could add XRP to its $2.5 billion Bitcoin strategy due to multiple reasons. XRP is the largest US-made altcoin, and its CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, played a key role in campaigning for Trump last year. Considering this, the company may pick XRP for portfolio diversification.
Institutional interest in XRP is also rising after VivoPower unveiled plans to raise $121 million to create an XRP-focused treasury to fund its Ripple token purchases. If more companies launch XRP-focused treasuries, it increases the odds of Trump Media buying XRP.
The high institutional demand for Ripple is also evident in the surging daily volumes for XRP futures on the CME. XRP futures hit another record high with 250 traded contracts on May 28. Considering that the standard contract has 50,000 tokens, the volumes traded during the day reached 12.5 million XRP, worth over $25 million at the current XRP price.
Nevertheless, there are challenges to any plans by Trump Media to adopt XRP. The Ripple vs. SEC lawsuit is not officially closed, and unless this happens, a crypto strategy including the Ripple token may not be realized soon.
Summary
Trump Media is planning to raise $2.5 billion to fund BTC acquisitions for its Bitcoin Strategy. With XRP being the largest US-made altcoin and institutional interest towards the altcoin swirling, speculation is rife over whether Trump Media may diversify its portfolio with XRP. If this happens, XRP price could surge to above $5.
