"Trump 2.0 will be completely different": who benefits from his victory and what Bitcoin has to do with it / Grigory Beglaryan
If the next Trump presidency is 'very different,' the most direct market beneficiary in the discussed scenario is crypto—Bitcoin at the center. This piece examines why Bitcoin and crypto-exposed equities/ETFs could react, what drivers matter, and which tickers act as practical proxies for the thesis.
Linked assets
Primary tradable ideas: BTC-USD (direct Bitcoin exposure), IBIT (ETF wrapper for crypto exposure), COIN (Coinbase, high crypto beta), and MSTR (MicroStrategy, corporate bitcoin treasury). Each instrument has different risk/return and implementation trade-offs.
BTC-USD: Bitcoin priced in US dollars, the primary cryptocurrency and direct market exposure to the thesis.
The clearest expression of the headline thesis; highly sensitive to political and regulatory expectations.
IBIT: An ETF wrapper designed to deliver crypto exposure for portfolio allocation.
An ETF implementation of the same view; convenient for allocations and institutional-friendly access to crypto risk.
COIN: Class A common stock of Coinbase Global, Inc., a financial services company in the Financial Data & Stock Exchanges industry.
High beta to crypto markets and trading volumes; could outperform BTC on the upside but carries elevated operational and regulatory risk.
MSTR: Strategy Inc., a corporate bitcoin treasury company operating in the United States, Europe, Middle East, Africa, and internationally.
Acts as a leveraged proxy on Bitcoin through corporate balance-sheet bitcoin exposure; offers potentially larger upside and downside due to its capital structure.

The thesis is informed by a series of Russian-language interviews and videos discussing macro risks (oil, dollar, global debt), Russia-specific economic stress points (real estate risks, developer leverage, credit vulnerabilities), and commentary on cryptocurrencies and stores of value. Transcripts were partially unavailable for some episodes; conclusions below are drawn with that limitation in mind.
A Russian real-estate video frames the residential property market as unusually risky: weak/uncertain new-build sales, dependence on subsidized/family mortgages, potential apartment price declines, risky developer installment plans, pseudo-apartments, discounts on weaker projects, and concerns about developer debt and creditworthiness. The episode reviews developer equities and bonds (Samolet, Brusnika, Elite Stroy, RKS, Pioneer, PIK, LSR, Etalon), but specific conclusions on each company are not provided in the supplied text.
Source is a link to an episode with AcademeG about the auto market's future. The transcript was unavailable, so concrete theses, figures, companies, or events affecting prices could not be extracted.
A Russian YouTube interview about a potentially critical moment for oil, the dollar and world debt. The transcript is unavailable (auto-generated ru only), so specific theses, figures, or actionable scenarios cannot be reliably extracted; this appears to be macro commentary rather than a single verifiable trigger.
A Russian-language video claiming large shocks in 2026 for the dollar, oil and the economy. The provided fragment lacks full transcript and therefore offers no specific, verifiable market triggers; conclusions are cautious and of lower reliability.
A recent 'Dengi ne spyat' episode with Oleg Vyugin covering two potential paths for the Russian economy, the National Wealth Fund, a strong ruble, vulnerable sectors, bad loans, real estate prospects, and attitudes toward gold and cryptocurrencies. The episode includes discussion of what assets may survive and how to construct a resilient portfolio for 2026.
A show anniversary segment with Jack Schwager focused on trader development, strategy, and risk management. It references Schwager's views on Trump-era economic policy and risks of a 'giant debt bubble' but does not provide actionable market predictions or tickers.
Introductory fragment to a collaboration episode on risks to the dollar; the supplied text is an announcement and lacks detailed theses, figures or market implications.
An interview discussing Russia's economy during the special military operation and long-term trends. The fragment does not include new data, government decisions, or corporate news that can be directly converted into a trading signal.
