#TrumpBitcoinEmpire # What is Trump's Crypto Empire?
Donald Trump has been building a significant presence in the cryptocurrency ecosystem, leading to what is now known as the "Trump Crypto Empire." This initiative includes several investments and projects related to blockchain and cryptocurrencies.
## The $TRUMP Token
Launched just before Trump's second inauguration in January 2025, the $TRUMP token is a memecoin associated with his political figure. This token:
- Has a significant speculative component.
- Launched with 200 million tokens available on the market.
- Has an ownership structure where CIC Digital LLC (affiliated with The Trump Organization) and Fight Fight Fight LLC own the remaining 80% of the non-public supply, under a three-year unlock schedule.
This type of digital asset lacks intrinsic value and poses a significant risk to investors due to its volatile and speculative nature.
## World Liberty Financial
In addition to the $TRUMP token, there is another significant project linked to Donald Trump's son: Eric Trump. This project is called **World Liberty Financial**, a startup focused on digital assets. Among its main features:
- Eric Trump has a 40% interest in WLF Holdco LLC, the developing entity of the project.
- He owns 22.5 billion WLFI tokens.
These moves further reinforce the connection between the Trump family and the world of cryptocurrencies.
## Impact and Controversies
Trump's entry into the crypto space has generated some controversy:
- In February 2025, he attended a private dinner at his golf club in Virginia dedicated to the major holders of the $TRUMP token, which generated national media coverage.
- While these initiatives may generate excitement among Trump supporters and cryptocurrency enthusiasts, they have also been criticized by some sectors that express concern over the lack of clear regulation in this area.
