The family of U.S. President Donald Trump has reportedly earned over $1 billion from a series of cryptocurrency ventures, says social media buzzing with newer report.
It notes that the amount does not include tax deductions, with Trump’s son Eric Trump telling that the family’s actual profits are “likely much higher.”
The Rise of Trump’s Crypto Empire
At the center of the Trump family’s digital fortune is World Liberty Financial (WLFI) — a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform launched by Trump’s sons. The platform’s website lists President Trump as an “honorary co-founder.”
WLFI has raised $590 million across two funding rounds and has become one of the most high-profile crypto projects associated with a political family. According to Financial Times estimates, the platform alone has generated at least $550 million for Trump since the start of 2025.
In June, disclosures revealed that President Trump personally earned more than $57 million from selling WLFI tokens, while the family’s total stake in the project is valued at around $5 billion.
Meme Coins and Stablecoin Success
Beyond WLFI, Trump has benefited from the surge in meme coins, particularly TRUMP and MELANIA, which together brought in $427 million in profits before their values dropped by more than 90% from their peaks.
Meanwhile, WLFI’s own stablecoin, USD1, has also proven lucrative — adding another $42 million to the family’s wealth. USD1 now ranks fifth globally among stablecoins, boasting a market capitalization exceeding $2.7 billion, according to CoinGecko.
Expanding Influence in the Crypto Sector
The President’s personal stake in Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) — the parent company of Truth Social — is now worth $1.9 billion. The company has increasingly diversified into crypto, filing for registration of a cryptocurrency blue-chip ETF earlier this year.
Most recently, on October 15, U.S. regulators approved the launch of a new crypto bank named Erebor, reportedly connected to Trump through close associates, including billionaire Peter Thiel. The bank is expected to focus on stablecoin-related services, Financial Times reported.
In September, President Trump also filed a lawsuit against The New York Times and Penguin Random House, alleging “defamatory attacks” related to his meme coin ventures.
