Trump adds at least $620M to net worth thanks to crypto

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has seen his net worth surge by an estimated $620 million, thanks to a series of lucrative crypto-related ventures launched in the past year, according to a recent Bloomberg report.

While Trump was once openly skeptical of cryptocurrencies, his recent embrace of digital assets has proven to be financially rewarding. The most notable contribution came from World Liberty Financial, a blockchain-focused firm affiliated with the Trump family. This company launched a new token and a stablecoin (USD1), generating over $550 million in sales, with approximately $390 million being attributed to Trump’s personal holdings.

In addition, Trump’s ties to the $TRUMP memecoin — a politically charged token created by supporters — have significantly added to his crypto fortune. His known wallets reportedly hold over $150 million worth of the token. Some analysts believe that with locked tokens and future unlocks, Trump’s potential earnings from $TRUMP could be much higher.

Other sources of crypto-related income include American Bitcoin, a mining company with ties to the Trump brand, and Truth Social, his media platform that has seen fluctuating valuations but has recently gained attention in crypto circles.

Although Trump’s overall net worth remains relatively steady at around $6.4 billion, the crypto segment now makes up roughly 10% of his fortune, making it his most profitable asset class in 2025.

The rapid growth of his digital wealth has sparked concern among political opponents. Some lawmakers have proposed restrictions on cryptocurrency ownership or promotion by sitting presidents and their families, citing potential conflicts of interest.

Regardless of the controversy, Trump’s pivot into crypto has positioned him as one of the wealthiest political figures in the digital asset space — a striking turn for someone who once called Bitcoin “a scam.”
