It took him just a few months to accumulate a digital fortune. Donald Trump, a master of branding and political capitalization, has long sensed the potential of digital assets. Already a pioneer with his superhero-themed NFTs, he is pushing his strategy a step further with a cryptocurrency onslaught organized by his close circle. Barely back in the White House, an initial financial assessment is already needed: his crypto empire is said to have generated $620 million. This unexpected fortune reveals much more than an investment strategy — it questions the dividing lines between power, influence, and enrichment.
In brief
Trump earns $620 million thanks to his crypto company World Liberty Financial and his personal meme coin.
His sons own 20% of the mining company that recently raised $220 million.
A $2 billion deal through Abu Dhabi allowed investment in stablecoins in Binance.
Some senators want to prohibit elected officials from owning cryptocurrencies without sufficient Republican support.
Trump, his cryptocurrency, and the art of turning influence into digital gold bars
Launched just before his return to the White House, the meme coin TRUMP quickly rose in price, multiplying by 5: $150 million. A marketing gadget for some, a political Trojan horse for others, this token has established itself as a showcase — and a promise. For its loyal holders: dinner with the president, exclusive tour. For his opponents: a puzzle about the permeability between governmental functions and speculative leverage.
But the crux of the matter lies elsewhere. He is fighting within World Liberty Financial, the crypto platform run by the Trump family. Tokens worth $550 million have been sold, of which $390 million were directly cashed out by the clan. And that's not all: they still hold 2 billion WLF tokens, ready for growth.
The formula is refined: create stickiness, implement branding, attract attention, and provoke speculation. The result: a parallel crypto-economy woven around the name.
Senator Jeff Merkley said directly:
No president should have the ability to promote or own digital assets based on their political decisions.
But in Congress, Republican obstacles block any attempts at regulation.
Since January, cryptocurrency has outpaced his real estate in terms of profitability speed. Although his total fortune is still estimated at $6.4 billion, Trump is clearly redirecting his wealth strategy. In the background, his sons are asserting themselves as dynastic relays.
Donald Jr. and Eric own 20% of American Bitcoin, a subsidiary of Hut 8, which raised $220 million to purchase mining equipment. A merger with Gryphon Digital Mining is planned.
In this new architecture, cryptocurrency has become a machine for the Trumps to generate political, financial, and social dividends. Through World Liberty Financial, they partnered with MGX (Abu Dhabi), converting $2 billion into stablecoins for a deal with Binance. A geopolitical and economic maneuver.
Trump no longer needs to build towers. He builds tokens, collects protocols, and makes markets vibrate.
A study published in April confirmed what many feared: Trump's fortune doubled thanks to two precise levers — his social platform Truth Social and the cryptocurrency he created. A model of digital growth that redefines the boundaries between communication, investments, and executive power. The enterprising president no longer builds buildings: he prints tokens.
