According to a Forbes report, Donald Trump, the 47th president of the United States, has amassed an estimated $1 billion in cryptocurrency from his space ventures.
Forbes’ calculations published on June 5, 2025, indicate that Mr. Trump has made $1 billion since just before the election, which brought his net worth to $5.6 billion.
Forbes’ X post dated June 06, 2025, says that “ Donald Trump is cashing in on crypto. Over the last nine months, beginning slightly before the election, he has stirred up new ventures, new coins, and new noise. All of it makes the president money, but how much?”
It further notes that Trump holds $900 million in liquid assets, with around half of the funds gathered from his crypto pursuit. He managed over $390 million in profit pre-tax from the sale of native tokens of World Liberty Financial.
Trump is also reported to have brought in $315 million from his Official Trump memecoin and $427 million from his memecoin stash, also argued that he holds USD1, the newly stablecoin by World Liberty Financial of $60 million.
As per Forbes, Donald Trump has made $1.2 billion from his involvement in the crypto market, with a post-tax estimate of $936 million.
Trump’s crypto involvement grew after his 2nd as president
Following his historical victory in the presidential elections held in 2024, Donald Trump has shown his charged favouritism for digital assets, and since 2025, his family has launched several digital assets-based businesses.
Just a day before Trump’s inauguration, the official Trump memecoin was launched through CIC Digital LLC, a company owned by Trump that holds 80% of its total supply.
After the launch of $TRUMP, its market capitalization ballooned to $5 billion in just a few hours, with a fully diluted value of $27 million, with some estimates suggesting a high of $70 billion.
Mr. Trump heavily promoted Official Trump memecoin with recently hosting a dinner for top holders of the coin, yet his dinner and food were criticised massively.
The Trump family, through DT Marks DEFI LLC, holds a 60% stake in World Liberty Financial and receives 75% of revenue from the $WLFI token.
In March this year, World Liberty Financial created a stablecoin as USD1 and secured $2 billion in investment from an Abu Dhabi-based fund. Also, his son Eric Trump has founded American Bitcoin, a BTC mining firm, through a merger with American Data Centres.
