Trump’s Crypto Empire: NFTs, Memecoins, and a Billion-Dollar Bet.
From nonfungible tokens (NFTs) and digital collectibles to a DeFi project, a proposed stablecoin, and even a Bitcoin mining venture—Donald Trump’s crypto portfolio is as bold as his political persona. Add to that two memecoins (one for the former president and another for Melania Trump), and you’ve got a financial juggernaut nearing $1 billion in paper gains—even after the latest market rollercoaster, per Bloomberg’s analysis.
From Skeptic to Crypto King
Not long ago, Trump dismissed Bitcoin as a “scam” (2021, Fox Business), warning it threatened the dollar and needed “very, very high” regulation. Fast-forward to today, and he’s all-in:
Courting crypto voters with pro-industry policies
Launching memecoins (traded under his and Melania’s names)
Installing crypto allies like David Sacks and Bo Hines in key roles
Signing executive orders to make the U.S. the "crypto capital of the planet"
The Trump Fortune: Beyond Real Estate
Already the wealthiest U.S. president ever, Trump’s empire spans luxury real estate, resorts, and now—digital assets. His sons, Donald Jr. and Eric, along with longtime CFO Allen Weisselberg, oversee the trust managing his businesses.
Eric Trump insists “there are no conflicts” with their crypto bets, telling Bloomberg:
“I don’t work with the White House. We’ve believed in crypto for a long time.”
Truth Social Hype & Market Moves
Trump’s Truth Social posts regularly hype his memecoin, fueling trading frenzies. With crypto execs bankrolling his campaign and policies favoring decentralization, his second term could reshape the industry—proving that in politics and finance, flips happen fast.
Question is: Will Trump’s crypto gamble pay off—or is this just another high-stakes pump? 🚀
