Crypto Now Dominates Trump Family’s Paper Net Worth in Stunning Portfolio Shift

Digital assets eclipse traditional holdings as political dynasty embraces blockchain revolution.

The Ultimate Portfolio Pivot

Forget real estate and branding deals—cryptocurrency now represents the single largest asset class in the Trump family's reported wealth. The shift signals how even established fortunes are racing to capture alpha in the digital asset space, leaving conventional investments looking downright archaic.

Politics Meets Portfolio Strategy

This isn't just about diversification—it's a strategic alignment with a burgeoning financial ecosystem that's rewriting wealth creation rules. While old-money financiers still debate Bitcoin's merits, forward-thinking portfolios are already reaping the rewards of early adoption.

When political dynasties start backing crypto over conventional assets, it's time to ask: do you really understand where the financial world is heading? Traditional wealth preservation strategies just got served notice—adapt or watch your relevance crumble. Sometimes the best investment advice comes from watching where the smart money actually goes, not where it says it's going.

Trump Family’s WLFI Stake Tops $6B

The launch opened WLFI to the public for the first time, allowing the token to be bought and sold on exchanges. According to a Wall Street Journal report, WLFI saw heavy trading in its opening hours, with roughly $1 billion worth of tokens exchanged. On Binance, the price ranged between $0.24 and $0.30. At the higher price, Monday’s unlocking gave the TRUMP family’s stake a valuation of over $6 billion.

Crypto has now become the largest part of the First Family’s assets. Beyond WLFI, entities linked to them control around 80% of TRUMP, a meme coin worth several billion dollars. A Trump-owned trust also holds just over half of Trump Media, which runs Truth Social and invests in cryptocurrencies, with that stake valued at about $2.5 billion.

The project has taken several steps to support WLFI. This summer, it acquired a publicly listed firm and raised $750 million in cash to buy the cryptocurrency. That deal stands to bring them about $500 million since they retain up to three-quarters of revenues from token sales.

Some critics have raised concerns that World Liberty could be used to influence the Trump family, noting that its growth has been supported by partners and investors seeking connections with the WHITE House. For instance, after initially missing fundraising targets, the company received a $75 million purchase from Justin Sun, who has been under SEC scrutiny since 2023 but recently secured a pause in the case.

However, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt countered this argument, noting that “neither the president nor his family have ever engaged, or will ever engage, in conflicts of interest.” The project’s chief executive, Zach Witkoff, also described it as a private business that does not participate in politics.

WLF Users Report Token Thefts in Phishing Attacks

Elsewhere, the crypto project has faced recent security concerns, with some users reporting that WLFI tokens purchased in the private sale were stolen by hackers. One X user, FUGUIHK, described how a friend’s MetaMask wallet was phished, resulting in all assets being emptied.

According to the post, after transferring small amounts of U and ETH into the compromised wallet, the funds were automatically moved to the attacker’s account. They noted that attempts to transfer tokens into or out of the WLFI lockbox required gas fees, which were also captured by the hackers.

The founder of blockchain security firm SlowMist has since responded, explaining that the incident involved a classic EIP-7702 phishing hack. The victim’s private key had been leaked, allowing malicious actors to set up an exploit mechanism tied to the wallet address.

This means that any attempt to move remaining tokens, including WLFI placed in the lockbox contract, WOULD trigger automatic transfers to the attackers. In a follow-up post, they added that these incidents are part of a wider pattern of scams targeting the token’s holders.
