Overview
- A Financial Times investigation tallied more than $1 billion in pre-tax crypto profits for President Trump’s family during his second term, and Eric Trump said the true total was probably higher.
- World Liberty Financial accounted for roughly $550 million, with a September token unlock boosting the family’s stake valuation before WLFI later fell about 57% from its peak.
- The Official TRUMP memecoin generated about $362 million in profit, and the team recently began raising $200 million to build a digital asset treasury for buybacks and liquidity support.
- The MELANIA token added roughly $65 million, as both official meme coins have since suffered steep price declines after initial monetization periods.
- WLFI’s USD1 stablecoin sold around $2.7 billion of tokens, which FT estimated could produce roughly $40–$42 million in interest on reserves, and Trump Media & Technology Group is reported to have pivoted into a profitable crypto business after raising billions.
