Trump’s $620 Million Crypto Windfall Expands His Wealth

President Donald Trump has seen at least $620 million in fresh wealth flow in over just a few months, largely thanks to an aggressive pivot into cryptocurrency ventures, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. This marks a rapid evolution in how the former president and his family generate their fortune, with digital assets becoming the most lucrative segment of their portfolio.

While Trump’s overall net worth has held relatively steady—from $6.5 billion on Election Day to $6.4 billion now—Bloomberg’s analysis shows crypto-linked initiatives have rapidly transformed the financial landscape of the Trump empire.

World Liberty Financial Leads the Charge

A significant share of these gains comes from World Liberty Financial, a blockchain-based platform that issues its own token and a stablecoin called USD1. Bloomberg estimates that $390 million of the $550 million in token sales went directly to the Trump family. They also hold 22.5 billion World Liberty-branded tokens, whose market value in June exceeded $2 billion—but those tokens were excluded from net-worth calculations due to transfer restrictions.

The family recently reduced its ownership in World Liberty from 60% to 40%, monetizing a portion of its stake.

Bloomberg noted this crypto haul “dwarfs the more than $34 million the Trump Organization reported taking in from real estate licensing deals last year.”

“I am incredibly proud of our wonderful company. We have never been stronger,” Eric Trump, executive vice president of the Trump Organization, told the outlet.

Trump-Branded Memecoin

One of the most high-profile pieces of Trump’s crypto strategy has been the creation of a memecoin bearing his name, launched during his inauguration weekend. The Trump Organization and affiliated CIC Digital together hold 80% of the token supply.

After accounting for liquidity discounts and trading revenue, Bloomberg values Trump’s stake in the memecoin at around $150 million. Additionally, 800 million more coins—worth over $7 billion—are scheduled to vest over three years beginning this month, but these are excluded from Bloomberg’s net-worth tally.

Real Estate Windfall Adds to Fortunes

Outside of crypto, the Trump family’s largest real estate boost in years arrived in January when Trump National Doral won approval to build 1,500 luxury condos. That approval raised Bloomberg’s valuation of the sprawling Miami-area golf resort from $350 million to $1.5 billion.

Trump Media & Technology Group’s Role

Trump Media & Technology Group Corp., the company behind Truth Social, also plays a big role in his balance sheet. Although the company reported a $401 million net loss in 2023, it temporarily boosted Trump’s net worth by $4 billion in October. Bloomberg now values his stake at roughly $2 billion.

The company is reportedly pivoting to finance and Bitcoin to help sustain growth.

Expanding Crypto Business Empire

The Trump family’s crypto footprint is only growing. American Bitcoin—a spin-off from a Trump-aligned investment bank—plans to go public through a merger with Nasdaq-listed Gryphon Digital Mining Inc., a penny stock.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin miner Hut 8 Corp. transferred most of its mining equipment to American Bitcoin in exchange for a majority stake. Trump and his partners reportedly own 20% of the business, which Bloomberg values at over $3 billion, despite its main asset having a book value of just $120 million.

USD1, the stablecoin issued by World Liberty, received a major endorsement when Abu Dhabi-based MGX announced it used the token to make a $2 billion investment in crypto exchange Binance. Binance founder Changpeng Zhao—who pled guilty to US anti-money-laundering violations and is reportedly seeking a pardon—serves as an adviser to World Liberty, alongside Sun and Bilal Bin Saqib, who chairs Pakistan’s Crypto Council.

Bloomberg estimates that applying Circle’s market-cap-to-circulation ratio for USDC implies World Liberty could be worth $1.4 billion, though limited adoption kept it out of Trump’s official net-worth calculation.

Building a Digital Asset Reserve

Eric Trump has also confirmed that World Liberty Financial plans to acquire a “substantial position” in the Trump memecoin for its own digital asset reserves.

Yet not all of the family’s crypto ventures are fully transparent. Bloomberg noted that private efforts such as the members-only Executive Branch club in Washington, DC, and links to companies like Metaplanet, Kalsh, and BlinkRX weren’t factored into Trump’s net-worth calculations because of opaque financial disclosures.

Crypto Profits in Official Filings

Trump’s crypto success is also clear in official filings. His June 2025 financial disclosure reported over $600 million in income from crypto-related activity and merchandise sales through the end of 2024.

Those figures include:

  • $57.35 million from token sales at World Liberty Financial
  • $320 million in fees generated by the Trump memecoin (though it’s unclear how much went directly to Trump-controlled entities)
  • Over $400 million in decentralized finance activity involving World Liberty Financial and affiliates
  • $1.16 million from NFT and digital card sales

Forbes last month estimated Trump’s total crypto-linked gains could reach $1 billion when counting all token sales, fees, and potential future distributions. That figure covers both realized and unrealized gains, assuming Trump retains a large share of proceeds from his crypto ventures.
