But beyond his enrichment, this election redraws the economic prospects of the United States, particularly for the crypto sphere.</p>

<p>A rapid financial growth that shows Musk has everything to gain from a pro-business and pro-crypto presidency like Trump’s.</p>
<p>Among the other billionaires who saw their fortunes swell that day:</p>
<ul>
 <li><strong>Jeff Bezos: Up by 7 billion dollars with Amazon’s stock reaching a high of $207;</strong></li>
 <li><strong>Michael Saylor: 600 million more thanks to a 13% rise in MicroStrategy’s stock;</strong></li>

Musk also <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1854313368401613146" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">hailed this victory on X</a>, calling this new mandate a “<em>mandate for change</em>“.</p>

Trump, now known as <strong>the “Bitcoin president”</strong>, has promised to make the United States the global capital of digital assets.</p>
<p>He has also proposed lowering corporate taxes, a measure that appeals to tech giants, including players in the crypto sector.</p>

<p>For Elon Musk and other investors, this dynamic opens up <strong>new economic prospects in decentralized technologies and digital finance</strong>.</p>

<p>In support of this vision, digital currencies like <strong>Dogecoin (DOGE), often promoted by Musk, soared by 40% after the election</strong>, <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/trumps-victory-a-jackpot-for-dogecoin-crypto/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">hitting the jackpot</a> and reaching their highest level since April.

<p>Nevertheless, the overall momentum favors crypto investors, with recorded increases for trading and digital asset management companies.</p>
<p>Brian Armstrong of <strong>Coinbase</strong> thus benefited from this dynamic, seeing <strong>his net worth reach 11 billion dollars</strong> thanks to the rise in the shares of his platform.</p>
