Trump’s Crypto Empire: $1.2 Billion in Personal Profit – 20% of His Government Advisors Hold Cryptocurrencies
Donald Trump’s personal crypto wealth has now exceeded the $1.2 billion mark. According to the Democratic Caucus on the U.S. Congressional Financial Services Committee, Trump has systematically worked in recent months to weaken relevant regulatory authorities and stifle ongoing proceedings to build up crypto wealth secretly. Recent analysis suggests this crypto wealth now even exceeds the total value of his real estate portfolio. Trump’s crypto wealth is diversified across several asset classes and projects with direct or indirect connections to his name:- World Liberty Financial: A crypto company with close family ties, from which Trump is said to have siphoned around $390 million.
- A $315 million meme coin licensed with Trump’s name, profiting from its price increase.
- Obfuscated wallets and investments valued at $430 million.
- Income from the sale of Trump NFTs. A central element of Trump’s crypto strategy is the aggressive positioning of his media company, Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), as an institutional Bitcoin investor. TMTG now holds approximately $2 billion in Bitcoin and Bitcoin-related securities—including physical holdings, options, and exchange-traded products. Notably, about two-thirds of the company’s liquidity reserve is tied up in crypto assets, with remaining liquid assets around $1 billion. With this strategy, TMTG ranks as the 6th largest publicly traded company holding Bitcoin, ahead of Tesla, Coinbase, and Galaxy Digital. Only MicroStrategy, Marathon Digital, and Block (formerly Square) hold larger BTC reserves. Approximately 40% of TMTG’s current market capitalization is accounted for by its Bitcoin holdings, underscoring the company’s dependence on Bitcoin’s price. Despite its massive Bitcoin holdings, TMTG shares have recently underperformed compared to Bitcoin’s price, lagging both in the short term and over several months. Donald Trump’s family is deeply involved in the crypto space:
- His sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, are co-founders of American Bitcoin, which has raised $220 million in institutional capital for Bitcoin reserves and mining infrastructure.
- All three Trump sons co-founded World Liberty Financial, where Trump operates as “co-founder emeritus.”
- Eric Trump publicly commented on Ethereum, describing ETH as a buying opportunity and suggesting a fair value of $8,000. According to an analysis by the Washington Post, around 20% of Trump’s current government advisors actively hold cryptocurrencies. This raises questions about the independence of political decision-making, especially as crypto regulation and government Bitcoin initiatives gain importance. The high proportion of crypto investors in Trump’s immediate circle underscores the close personal and financial ties between politics and digital assets.
