As the cryptocurrency world buzzes with anticipation, all eyes are on Pi Network—a mobile-mined digital asset with a massive global following. With its sixth anniversary looming tomorrow, March 14, speculation is rife that U.S. President Donald Trump might mention Pi Coin in an upcoming pro-crypto press briefing.

If he does, analysts predict the token’s price could skyrocket by as much as 200 percent within hours, thrusting Pi into the spotlight of an already volatile market. But what’s driving this hype, and could Trump’s words spark such a dramatic rally?

Pi Network: The people’s crypto

Launched in 2019 by Stanford PhDs Nicolas Kokkalis and Chengdiao Fan, Pi Network has grown into a phenomenon, boasting over 100 million users across 200+ countries. Unlike Bitcoin, which requires energy-intensive mining rigs, Pi lets anyone mine coins via a smartphone app—a democratised approach that’s fuelled its viral adoption.

Currently, Pi Coin is consolidating around $48 after a 26 percent gain over the past six days, according to Coingecko, with a market cap placing it among the top altcoins. Posts on X echo this momentum, with users like @pinetwork_world and @hokanewscom amplifying claims of a potential 200 percent surge. Yet, Pi remains in a pre-mainnet phase, with trading limited to select exchanges and its ecosystem still maturing. This hasn’t dampened enthusiasm—Pi ranks as the fourth most-followed cryptocurrency on social media, surpassing Ethereum. Its growing U.S. presence, including adoption by Florida’s Zito Realty for payments and ties to Stanford alongside firms like Ripple, has some speculating it’s poised for mainstream recognition.

Trump’s crypto crusade

Since his re-election in November 2024, Trump has pivoted from crypto skeptic to self-proclaimed “crypto president.” His administration has moved swiftly, signing an executive order on March 3, 2025, to establish a U.S. strategic crypto reserve featuring Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and Cardano, per Reuters and Forbes. The announcement sent shockwaves through the market—Bitcoin soared past $94,000, and the total crypto market cap jumped by $300 billion in hours. 

Trump’s White House Crypto Summit on March 7 further solidified his pro-crypto stance, though Pi Network was notably absent from his mentions, as fact-checked by CryptoTimes.io and Bitget. Still, Trump’s broader vision—to make the U.S. the “crypto capital of the world”—has altcoin communities buzzing. Posts on X, like one from @SoundCHEF2, speculate that a Trump nod to Pi could push it “past $10,” while CoinGape suggests a mention might propel it toward $100 or even $1,000 if he favors it over Bitcoin for a reserve. HOKANEWS.com cites Grok AI, predicting a “100-150% surge within 48 hours” based on past Trump-driven crypto spikes, with a 200% jump not out of reach given Pi’s momentum.

Why a mention could spark a 200% surge in Pi price

Crypto markets are notoriously reactive to high-profile endorsements—especially from figures like Trump, whose social media posts on Truth Social and X have moved markets. XRP and Solana surged 20-50% when he announced the crypto reserve, per Forbes. With its engaged community and pent-up demand, Pi could see an even sharper reaction. 

A Trump mention could trigger a “fear of missing out” wave, driving retail and institutional buyers to pile in. HOKANEWS.com noted Pi’s 20 percent gain in a single day this week as evidence of bullish sentiment. Pi’s American roots—founded in California with Stanford credentials—align with Trump’s patriotic crypto narrative, making it a plausible candidate for recognition. 

With Pi’s anniversary tomorrow and a significant token unlock event this month, as per Coinpedia.org, the stage is set for heightened volatility, and a Trump shoutout could amplify this, pushing Pi past its $2.01 resistance toward $10 or beyond. In an X post, Grok AI cautioned that while no evidence ties Trump to Pi yet, “the buzz seems to stem from speculation in the Pi community, fueled by Trump’s broader crypto reserve talk.” A 200 percent surge from $48 would land Pi at roughly $144—a stretch, but not unprecedented in crypto’s hype-driven history.

Risks and reality checks

Not everyone’s sold on the hype. Pi’s price has been volatile—Controverity.com reported a 159 percent spike to $1.72 in February, followed by a stabilisation at $1.32, with bearish signals looming. Coinpedia.org warns of a potential drop to $1.58 if it fails to break $2.23. Trump’s reserve, clarified by crypto czar David Sacks as using seized assets rather than new purchases, has also disappointed some investors who are expecting bolder moves. 

No official transcript from the March 7 summit confirms a Pi mention. Any surge could be short-lived without concrete backing, mirroring the 80 percent crash of Trump’s own $TRUMP memecoin after its January peak.

What’s next for Pi?

The crypto world is watching Trump’s next move as Pi Network’s anniversary approaches. A mention in his upcoming briefing—potentially as early as this week—could ignite a parabolic rally, with analysts eyeing $100-$200 in the near term if FOMO takes hold. In the long term, CoinGape posits a $500-$1,000 range by 2026 with institutional adoption. But without it, Pi’s fate hinges on its community and mainnet rollout. For now, the question remains: Will Trump name-drop Pi Coin? If he does, buckle up—200 percent might be the start.
