Bitcoin’s Late-2025 Crash Triggered a Wave of Negative Trump-Crypto Sentiment on Reddit

Between November 3 and December 2, 2025, researchers examined over 400 Reddit posts that mentioned both Donald Trump and crypto to see how sentiment moved with Bitcoin’s market swings. The analysis found that although post counts were roughly split between positive and negative, engagement-weighted sentiment turned mildly negative, driven by a highly viral meltdown thread during the crash. When Trump was excluded and only general crypto posts were measured, overall sentiment shifted into positive territory even though the Bitcoin sell-off still pulled scores down in one week.
