Trump’s $620 Million Crypto Venture Outshines Traditional Real Estate Earnings

Former US President Donald Trump, once a skeptic of digital assets, has pivoted decisively toward cryptocurrency, amassing over $620 million through ventures like the TRUMP memecoin and World Liberty Financial. The latter’s USD1 stablecoin and token sales have generated nearly $400 million for the Trump family alone—dwarfing the $34 million earned from real estate licensing last year.

The shift underscores crypto’s accelerating role in high-net-worth portfolios. Trump’s embrace of the asset class, including exclusive dinners for memecoin holders, signals a strategic bet on digital economies over brick-and-mortar assets. No direct evidence suggests presidential influence enabled these gains, but the scale of returns raises questions about crypto’s intersection with political capital.
