Trump-linked companies earn $620 million in recent months
Trump token sales eclipse traditional licensing revenue
President Donald Trump’s net worth remains largely stable since his return to the White House, standing at $6.4 billion today compared to $6.5 billion on Election Day.
However, the composition of his wealth is rapidly evolving, largely driven by the explosive success of crypto ventures, reports Cryptopolitan.
Trump-related crypto projects like World Liberty Financial and the Trump memecoin have reportedly added at least $620 million to his portfolio in just a few months, indicating a seismic shift in the sources fueling his fortune. While his real estate empire and traditional licensing deals continue to bring in substantial revenue, they are now overshadowed by the pace and scale of his digital asset income.
Crypto ventures dominate Trump family earnings
The Trump family has pivoted aggressively into crypto, with token sales becoming their primary revenue stream. Licensing deals like real estate and branded merchandise generated $34 million last year, but these now pale in comparison to the estimated $550 million raised from token sales tied to the Trump brand. Eric and Donald Trump Jr. have been actively promoting these ventures at global crypto summits in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Washington, and Las Vegas, turning political connections into crypto marketing gold.
World Liberty Financial, which offers both a Trump-branded token and the USD1 stablecoin, has proven the most lucrative, with the Trump family reportedly pocketing around $390 million so far. They still hold a non-transferable trove of 22.5 billion World Liberty tokens, with a potential valuation exceeding $2 billion.
Trump coin and stablecoin power continued crypto expansion
The Trump family’s influence in the crypto market extends deeply into the Trump memecoin, where they control approximately 80% of the supply. Bloomberg estimates Trump’s current stake is worth around $150 million, even as the token trades far below its all-time high. Meanwhile, the USD1 stablecoin is gaining international traction, with Abu Dhabi’s MGX using it to back a $2 billion investment in Binance.
Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, currently seeking a presidential pardon, now advises World Liberty Financial alongside other high-profile figures. Trump’s crypto ambitions show no signs of slowing, as the family plans to significantly increase their Trump token holdings through WLF. They are also expanding into mining operations via American Bitcoin, which recently absorbed most of Hut 8’s mining assets, signaling a broader digital asset strategy poised to further transform the Trump financial empire.
