Analyses Find Trump Family Reaped About $1.4 Billion From Crypto in Year One of Second Term

Independent tallies now show crypto ventures driving roughly a fifth of the family’s $6.8 billion fortune.

Overview

  • Bloomberg’s analysis attributes about $1.4 billion in realized gains to the family’s crypto ventures, even as overall net worth held near $6.8 billion.
  • Key drivers cited include World Liberty Financial, with roughly $390 million from WLFI token sales, and official TRUMP and MELANIA memecoins generating about $280 million.
  • Reports note roughly $3.8 billion in founder WLFI tokens remain locked and excluded from wealth estimates.
  • Losses at Trump Media & Technology Group, whose shares fell about 66% over the year, largely offset crypto gains, while Eric Trump’s stake in American Bitcoin Corp. is valued near $114 million despite a steep share-price drop.
  • Coverage details a friendlier policy landscape for crypto through executive orders and the GENIUS Act and highlights growing conflict-of-interest scrutiny tied to a pardon for Binance’s CZ, token purchases by Justin Sun, and foreign gifts and licensing deals including a $400 million jet from Qatar.
