Something unexpected has crept into the Trump family balance sheet lately. According to Bloomberg, US President Donald Trump’s crypto ventures have added more than $620 million to his fortune in just a few months.
Those digital holdings now make up roughly 9% of his estimated $6 billion net worth as of June. Back in 2021, real estate still accounted for 86% of his wealth—today it’s closer to half.
World Liberty Financial Token Bonanza
Based on reports, the biggest chunk—around $390 million—comes from token sales by World Liberty Financial, the family‑backed firm. They’ve raised $550 million to date through a native token and a stablecoin called USD1.
Trump and his sons picked up much of that in early rounds. The family still holds over 22 billion governance tokens valued at over $2 billion, though most won’t unlock for years. And Trump’s own stake slipped from 60% to 40% in a recent shuffle.
According to Bloomberg, the Trump family’s earnings from projects such as World Liberty Financial and TRUMP Memecoins have estimated that Trump’s wealth has increased by at least $620 million in just a few months. USD1 stablecoins may earn WLFI about $100 million this year.…

Meme Coin Rollercoaster
The President’s personal memecoin, TRUMP, once boasted a $150 million valuation after a “Presidential Dinner” for its top 220 holders. Now it trades at about $8.89, down more than 46% from its peak.
That swing underscores just how wild hype‑driven tokens can be. Some early investors made quick gains. Others are nursing losses.
Mining And Major Deals
The Trump family didn’t stop at tokens. Donald Jr. and Eric each own 20% of American Bitcoin, a Hut 8 subsidiary. In June, that outfit secured $220 million to buy mining gear and Bitcoin. It’s also set to go public via a merger with Gryphon Digital Mining.
Meanwhile, a $2 billion trade by Abu Dhabi’s MGX used WLFI’s token to invest in Binance. Estimates put the family’s cut at as much as $100 million from that deal alone.
Truth Social And Treasury Plans
Real estate and Truth Social still command big slices of Trump’s empire. At its high, Truth Social pushed his net worth past $4 billion. Even after a $401 million loss last year, his stake is worth nearly $2 billion.
Now Trump Media and Technology Group has approval from the US Securities and Exchange Commission for a $2.3 billion Bitcoin‑treasury registration. That covers 85 million shares, including 29 million tied to convertible notes.

On Gains & Ethics
On May 27, TMTG announced plans to raise $2.5 billion to buy Bitcoin, and its CEO called the crypto a core treasury asset. Then on June 16 they filed to launch a Truth Social Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF with a 75/25 split.
But critics say there’s a deeper issue at play. They question the ethics of a sitting US President profiting from volatile crypto markets while his administration oversees regulation.
For some, it’s uncomfortable to see public office and private gain entwined so closely. Concerns are growing that political influence could skew rules in favor of high‑profile insiders, blurring the line between leadership and personal profit.
