Well, well, well. It seems that the Trump family has been dabbling in the world of crypto and, as usual, they’re doing it with a flair for the dramatic. According to the Financial Times, the Trump family has raked in at least $1 billion from their crypto ventures in the past year. And of course, it’s all perfectly legal, right?
- The Trump clan has made over $1 billion in pre-tax profits from crypto-related ventures, including WLFI tokens, meme coins, stablecoins, and digital trading cards. Truly, a diversified portfolio that even the most seasoned investor would envy.
- Trump’s companies, especially World Liberty Financial and Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), have become *the* goldmine. TMTG, after all, pivoted to digital assets and bitcoin funds. I suppose that’s one way to stay ahead of the game, or in Trump’s case, to keep winning.
In a *stunning* revelation, the Financial Times has revealed that Donald Trump’s wealth has increased dramatically due to his crypto business empire-chiefly through meme coins (who knew they were so lucrative?) and tokens from World Liberty Financial. But don’t worry, this isn’t all “crypto mumbo jumbo.” The report clearly states that the figures are based only on realized profits. How very transparent, don’t you think?
Altogether, Trump and his family have managed to *earn* more than $1 billion from crypto, thanks to the likes of digital trading cards, meme coins, stablecoins, and WLFI tokens. Forbes also recently revealed that Trump’s net worth has jumped by a cool $3 billion in just a year. I mean, who needs a traditional business model when you’ve got crypto, right?
When asked by Financial Times if the $1 billion figure was accurate, Eric Trump, ever the modest one, casually remarked that the true amount was “probably more.” Well, naturally, why not? A billion is just the starting point, after all.
Unlike his predecessors, who gracefully exited the business scene upon taking office, Trump has only grown *wealthier* since ascending to the White House, all while proclaiming that he would transform the U.S. into the “crypto capital of the world.” Ah, the vision. The ambition. The… well, you get it.
According to the FT’s astute findings, a large chunk of this wealth comes from the WLFI token, which wasn’t even available for public trading until just recently. Despite its dip (a rather dramatic 57% fall from its peak in early September), it has still managed to generate around $550 million. That’s some impressive *staying power*, I suppose.
In his 2024 financial disclosure, Trump proudly reported an income of $57.3 million from World Liberty Financial. And to think, some people still believe crypto is a “fad.”
So, What Exactly Are Trump’s Crypto Ventures?
It seems meme coins are the gift that keeps on giving. The second-largest contributor to Trump’s crypto fortune comes from the presidential meme coins: $TRUMP (naturally) and $MELANIA. These tokens have generated a rather *decent* profit of $427 million. I mean, who wouldn’t want to own a piece of digital history? The website claims the Trump companies “collectively own” 80% of the operation. So much for that “separation of business and government.”
In May 2025, Trump hosted an exclusive dinner at one of his golf clubs for the top 220 holders of his meme coin. Among the attendees was none other than Justin Sun, founder of Tron (TRX), who, unsurprisingly, held the largest number of tokens. Imagine the conversations at that table. A bunch of crypto millionaires and Trump. It’s practically a sitcom waiting to happen.
But wait, there’s more! Stablecoins are also part of the Trump crypto fortune. Aside from the WLFI token, the Trump clan launched the USD1 stablecoin, which has sold around $2.71 billion worth. If all that cash had been invested in short-term U.S. debt, World Liberty Financial could have earned a tidy $40-$42 million in interest. Truly, a *reliable* income source.
And let’s not forget the digital trading cards featuring Trump in various *glamorous* scenarios, like in a superhero costume or riding a motorcycle. How much did he make from those, you ask? Oh, only a few million dollars. Because why wouldn’t you want a trading card of the former president in tights? The mind boggles.
On the other hand, Trump Media & Technology Group, which had previously reported a staggering $401 million loss in 2024, has experienced a miraculous turnaround. Since pivoting to crypto, TMTG has raised billions to purchase digital tokens and launch Bitcoin funds. In fact, the company now generates over $3 billion in profits. How charmingly *predictable*.
And through his 53% stake, Trump now owns the lion’s share of TMTG, which has become the very model of success. I mean, who said that business models need to be *traditional* when you can just ride the crypto wave?
