In recent months, the Trump family’s financial landscape has transformed dramatically, primarily due to their ventures into the world of cryptocurrency. A recent piece by Bloomberg highlights that investments in cryptocurrencies have added more than $620 million to Donald Trump’s net worth within a short span.
As of June, his digital currency assets make up approximately 9% of his overall wealth, estimated to be around $6 billion. Comparatively, in 2021, real estate comprised 86% of his net worth; now, it hovers closer to 50%.
World Liberty Financial Token Surge
According to various reports, a significant portion—around $390 million—of this increase stems from token offerings by World Liberty Financial, an enterprise associated with the Trump family. The company has amassed $550 million through its proprietary token alongside a stablecoin, USD1.
Trump, along with his sons, participated in the initial rounds of token sales. Current estimates suggest the family possesses over 22 billion governance tokens valued at approximately $2 billion, although a majority remain locked for several years. Moreover, Trump’s stake recently decreased from 60% to 40% during internal restructuring.
As reported by Bloomberg, ventures like World Liberty Financial and TRUMP Memecoins have reportedly contributed an increase of at least $620 million to Trump’s net worth over a few months. The USD1 stablecoin could yield over $100 million for WLFI this year.…

The Memecoin Adventure
The TRUMP memecoin experienced a considerable journey, initially reaching a valuation of $150 million after a high-profile “Presidential Dinner” for top investors. Currently, it trades around $8.89, reflecting a significant drop of over 46% from its peak.
This volatility serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of speculative tokens. While some early contributors walked away with significant profits, others faced harsh realities.
Strategic Mining Investments
The Trump family is not solely reliant on tokens; Donald Jr. and Eric each own a 20% stake in American Bitcoin, a subsidiary of Hut 8. In June, this enterprise secured $220 million for mining equipment and crypto assets, with plans to go public via merger with Gryphon Digital Mining.
Additionally, a $2 billion transaction involving Abu Dhabi’s MGX provided WLFI’s token as part of an investment into Binance, possibly netting the Trump family as much as $100 million.
Truth Social and Future Financial Strategies
Real estate and Truth Social continue to be significant components of Trump’s business portfolio. At its peak, Truth Social contributed to pushing his net worth above $4 billion. Despite a substantial loss of $401 million last year, his stake in the platform remains valuable, estimated to be close to $2 billion.
Moreover, Trump Media and Technology Group has garnered SEC approval for a $2.3 billion Bitcoin-treasury registration, encompassing 85 million shares, including 29 million related to convertible notes.
Gains and Ethical Concerns
On May 27, TMTG disclosed intentions to raise $2.5 billion for Bitcoin acquisitions, with the CEO labeling cryptocurrency a core asset. Following this, on June 16, plans were submitted to initiate a Truth Social Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF featuring a 75/25 allocation.
Nonetheless, ethical questions have arisen surrounding a sitting U.S. President profiting from volatile cryptocurrency markets while his administration looks after regulatory matters. Critics voice concerns over the murky line between public service and private profit, wary of how political influence might affect market dynamics and regulatory frameworks.
