Trump’s Crypto Earnings Cross $600 Million Amid Growing Digital Ventures

Crypto-linked projects, including a stablecoin and memecoin, now form a major part of Trump’s portfolio

US President Donald Trump's financial profile has changed in recent months, with a notable increase coming from cryptocurrency-linked ventures. While his total net worth seems steady, proceeds from digital assets are now becoming a larger part of his company ventures, suggesting a more significant shift in how Trump earns money.

Trump's Earnings from Crypto Projects

According to a report by Bloomberg, crypto ventures have contributed at least $620 million to Trump's fortune. This includes the proceeds from token sales, company stakes and promotional collaborations with platforms like World Liberty Financial and a Trump-branded memecoin. These crypto profits have quickly surpassed those produced by the Trump Organization last year through real estate and merchandise licensing deals.

World Liberty Financial is one of the Trump family's well-known projects. The platform has issued a stablecoin called USD1, which is designed to track the value of the US dollar, along with its own branded tokens. As of March, token sales from the project had raised approximately $550 million, with an estimated $390 million linked to the Trump family, according to Bloomberg. In addition, the family holds over 22 billion tokens, although those are currently designated as non-tradable.

The Trump family's stake in World Liberty dropped from 60 per cent to 40 per cent last month, although the specifics of the deal have not been disclosed. The company also gained momentum after MGX, an Abu Dhabi-based tech investor, said it used USD1 to make a $2 billion investment in Binance. This added international dimension has increased visibility for the Trump-linked stablecoin. Several well-known figures from the global crypto industry, including Justin Sun and Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, are listed as advisers to the platform.

Trump Memecoin Gains Investor Interest

Another project driving Trump's crypto involvement is a digital token launched under his name during his inauguration period. The Trump memecoin, called $TRUMP, was launched around the time of the January 2025 inauguration. Groups linked to the Trump Organization are believed to hold nearly 80 per cent of the token's overall supply. It reached an all-time high of $75.35 on January 19 but is now trading at around $9. Bloomberg estimates the value of Trump's holdings in the token at approximately $150 million, based on past trading activity and present market levels. More tokens are expected to become available for sale gradually over the next three years.

President Donald Trump hosted over 200 global investors at a black-tie dinner held at his private golf club near Washington, D.C., in celebration of their involvement with the $TRUMP meme cryptocurrency. Attendees reportedly spent more than $148 million on $TRUMP tokens to gain entry to the exclusive event, with the top 25 holders accounting for a significant share of the total amount raised.

Trump's sons have been promoting these crypto initiatives across global events, with appearances in cities including Abu Dhabi and Las Vegas. These digital initiatives show a shift toward new and high-growth companies within their overall financial plan, while some of the family's economic activities are still unknown.

Also, public financial disclosures show that Trump earned at least $57.35 million from cryptocurrency-related activities in 2024. These earnings came from token sales, licensing deals, and other crypto-linked ventures associated with his name.
