Since entering the crypto space in 2022, U.S. President Donald Trump has generated an estimated $2.4 billion from various digital asset ventures, The New Yorker reports. His portfolio includes $14.4 million from NFT collections, $412.5 million from token sales via World Liberty Financial, $243 million from UAE-linked crypto deals, $13 million from Bitcoin mining firm American Bitcoin, $1.3 billion from BTC treasury firm Trump Media and Technology Group, and $385 million from the Official Trump memecoin.
These ventures now account for roughly 43.5% of Trump’s personal wealth accumulated during his political career. While many operations are reportedly run by advisers or family members, the scale of involvement is significant given his role in overseeing U.S. crypto regulation.
The shift is notable, as Trump had previously criticized cryptocurrencies in 2019 for volatility and illicit use risks. His rapid pivot underscores both the industry’s profitability and its growing influence in political and economic spheres.
