Analysis: Donald Trump’s Cryptocurrency Holdings Reach $620M Amid Presidency
WASHINGTON — Despite entering the White House, President Donald Trump has reportedly significantly expanded his cryptocurrency portfolio, adding at least $620 million through ventures connected to the crypto industry within months of taking office.
According to a Wednesday report by Bloomberg, crypto holdings now constitute a “sizeable portion” of Trump’s estimated $6 billion net worth, mainly driven by gains from his family-backed crypto business, World Liberty Financial (WLF), and his personal memecoin, Official Trump (TRUMP).
As of June, crypto assets, including stakes in WLF and potential holdings in other ventures like his sons’ stake in American Bitcoin, reportedly accounted for roughly 9% of Trump’s overall wealth.
The president and his three sons reportedly earned $390 million from $550 million in token sales by World Liberty Financial, collectively holding over $2 billion in value of its governance token, WLF. The company potentially generated another $100 million through a $2 billion deal processed using stablecoins involving Binance and backed by Abu Dhabi’s MGX.
Separately, Trump’s memecoin, Official Trump (TRUMP), earned an estimated $150 million. Lawmakers, including multiple Democrats, have criticized the president, citing a controversial offer of a dinner for top token holders and a “VIP tour,” raising questions about potential conflicts of interest.

Further diversification includes a reported 20% stake held by President Trump Jr. and Eric Trump in American Bitcoin, a subsidiary of crypto mining firm Hut 8. American Bitcoin raised $220 million in June for operations and BTC investments, with plans to go public via a merger with Gryphon Digital Mining.
Since January, transparency and conflict-of-interest concerns have driven numerous Democratic lawmakers to propose legislation barring future U.S. presidents, their families, and members of Congress from promoting or owning cryptocurrencies.
Push for Legislation Amid Concerns of Insider Trading
Despite Democrats holding a minority status and legislative attempts failing to gain Republican support, lawmakers persist. Issues surrounding the crypto connections have become a recurring theme in legislative discussions.
In the latest example, Oregon Senator Jeff Merkley proposed an amendment to address conflicts of interest, during ongoing Senate debates over Trump’s budget bill, focusing specifically on the president’s crypto-related enterprises.
