Based on the latest information, Donald Trump has built a significant "crypto empire" despite previously expressing skepticism about cryptocurrencies.
His ventures in the cryptocurrency space include
Trump Digital Trading Cards (NFTs): These are collections of non-fungible tokens depicting Trump in various patriotic and fantasy roles.
Memecoins: The TRUMP and MELANA tokens were launched in early 2025. Notably, the trump coin, while experiencing volatility, has been a significant source of revenue and controversy for Trump, with his affiliated companies holding a large portion of the supply and deriving substantial fees from it. He has even used access to dinners and events as incentives for high token holders.
World Liberty Financial (WLF): This decentralized finance (DeFi) platform was founded by crypto entrepreneurs and later became closely linked with the Trump family. Trump's financial disclosures indicate substantial earnings from token sales on this platform. World Liberty Financial has launched a stablecoin, USD1, which is backed by U.S. dollars and treasuries.
American Bitcoin: Trump's sons Eric and Donald Jr. launched this Bitcoin mining venture in March 2025, with the goal of building a publicly traded mining company that would accumulate a large Bitcoin treasury.
Bitcoin Holdings: Trump Media & Technology Group, the parent company of Truth Social, has acquired approximately $2 billion in Bitcoin and related assets, representing a substantial portion of its liquid assets.
Shift in stance
It's important to note that Trump was previously a vocal critic of Bitcoin, calling it a "scam". However, his stance shifted as he embraced the industry and pledged to make the US the "crypto capital of the planet". His administration has also taken steps to ease crypto regulations.
