Trump’s interest in cryptocurrencies has provided the U.S. president with a direct increase in his estate of more than $620 million this year. This is revealed by new figures from the Bloomberg Multimillionaires Index, in which cryptocurrencies account for the first time for 9 percent of Trump’s total assets.
Cryptocurrencies now account for 9 percent of Trump’s portfolio.
Bloomberg estimates that Trump’s current estate is slightly above $6.4 billion. The biggest growth no longer comes from real estate or his media company, TMTG, but from three crypto pillars:
- World Liberty Financial (WLF): The family company that manages its own stable currency (USD1) and its governance token. Earlier, the family sold part of their stake in WLF.
- Memecoin TRUMP (TRUMP): A memecoin with a market capitalization of almost $1.8 billion.
- Mining participants in the form of American Bitcoin: Led by his sons, Donald Jr. and Eric.
World Liberty Financial Benefits From Major Stablecoin Deal
WLF raised $550 million this spring through the sale of WLF tokens. Of that amount, $390 million went directly to Trump and his three children. Abu Dhabi was an additional boost: investor MGX used WLF’s USD1 stablecoin to acquire a $2 billion stake in Binance US.
According to WLF documents, Trump’s team will also receive royalties from future transactions.
TRUMP Memecoin Provides Immediate Cash
The TRUMP memecoin, released in May, became an overnight success. The president held a dinner at Mar-a-Lago for the 220 largest token holders and promised a VIP visit to the White House. He personally owns millions of tokens worth about $150 million. The remaining tokens will be released linearly over the next three years, which could generate hundreds of millions more.
American Bitcoin Raises $220 Million for Mining and Treasury
A new funding round by American Bitcoin raised $220 million, paid in part in bitcoins. The company will merge later this year with Gryphon Digital Mining and aims to trade on the Nasdaq (ticker: ABTC). The Trump family owns 20 percent of the shares, a position that exposes them to direct profits in both BTC and ABTC.
Democratic senators, including Jeff Merkley and Elizabeth Warren, have called Trump’s crypto dealings a “conflict of amazing interests.” Merkley this week attempted to introduce an amendment to the budget law to ban presidents and their families from promoting or owning cryptocurrencies.
With the Republican majority, the measure currently appears to have no chance, but the debate is intensifying as the 2026 election cycle approaches.
What Does This Mean for the Market?
- Greater institutional demand: The White House legitimizes cryptocurrencies as an asset class, which could accelerate capital inflows from family offices and pension funds.
- Regulatory uncertainty: Stricter ethical frameworks for politicians could lead to new disclosure requirements for the entire sector.
- Volatility around the TRUMP token: Once token unlocks begin, the increased supply could put downward pressure on the price.
With USD1 now integrated into Binance and the Nasdaq listing of American Bitcoin in sight, the Trump dynasty seems poised to continue expanding its cryptographic empire. Analysts expect the sector to be shaped by the ongoing debate over conflicts of interest, especially now that cryptocurrencies account for nearly a tenth of Trump’s fortune.
