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.
