Shocking truth about Trump’s net worth no one's talking about

Shocking truth about Trump’s net worth no one's talking about

President Donald Trump's net worth has changed little since Election Day 2024 — holding steady at $6.4 billion — but the makeup of his fortune is undergoing a major transformation.

An aggressive pivot into crypto assets has added more than $620 million to his fortune in just a few months, according to the latest report from Bloomberg, easily surpassing proceeds from traditional licensing deals.

Though real estate still comprises the backbone of Trump's empire, digital assets now constitute an increasingly large slice of the family pie.

Central to this financial bonanza is World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a cryptocurrency platform with links to the Trump family. By June, the company had raised $550 million from token sales, of which the Trumps received approximately $390 million.

They also hold more than 22.5 billion WLFI tokens worth $2 billion. These tokens are currently non-transferable and therefore excluded from Bloomberg's calculations of net worth.

Another stablecoin from the same issuer, USD1, reached a market capitalization of $2.2 billion, potentially generating an annual reserve income of $100 million.

There's also the TRUMP memecoin, launched three days before the presidential inauguration. As of press time, TRUMP was trading at $8.94, after reaching an all-time high of $75.35 on January 19.

Companies tied to Trump Organization

The Trump Organization is affiliated with CIC Digital, which owns 80% of the token's supply. That supply will gradually unlock over three years. While Bloomberg values the investment at $150 million, it excludes an additional $7 billion in unvested coins.

American Bitcoin, a soon-to-be public crypto mining company, also has ties to the Trump family. Now valued at $3 billion following a merger with Gryphon Digital Mining, the company has attracted attention despite having minimal physical assets. Trump's 20% stake represents a substantial new investment in digital finance.

Although the president's financial assets are held in a trust, the rapid monetization of his brand through blockchain ventures, combined with loosened restrictions on overseas deals, has significantly boosted Trump's post-White House financial potential.
