Trump’s Crypto Ventures Surpass $1 Billion in Realized Profits Amid Market Volatility
Donald Trump's cryptocurrency holdings have eclipsed $1 billion in realized profits, according to a Financial Times analysis. The figures exclude unrealized gains, focusing solely on confirmed earnings. World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a central player in this portfolio, has generated approximately $550 million despite its native token plummeting 57% from its September peak.
Trump's 2024 financial disclosure reveals $57.3 million in personal income from WLFI, which began public trading recently after a restricted period. Meanwhile, meme coins TRUMP and MELANIA have contributed a combined $427 million. Project disclosures indicate Trump-owned entities control about 80% of the meme-coin venture, though profit distribution remains opaque.
The OFFICIAL TRUMP token has faced significant volatility, dropping more than 91% from its January 2025 high. Yet community engagement persists—Trump hosted a private dinner for top 220 token holders in May 2025, including TRON founder Justin Sun.
Beyond tokens, WLFI's USD1 stablecoin has sold roughly $2.71 billion, potentially yielding $40–42 million annually if reserves are held in U.S. government debt. Trump-branded digital trading cards have added several million dollars more to the revenue stream.
