The Crypto King: Trump's $1B Windfall in Just 9 Months Sparks Frenzy

Trump’s Crypto Fortune Surpasses His Real Estate Holdings as Net Worth Hits $5.6B

Written By : Kelvin Munene

US President Donald Trump’s financial position has shifted dramatically as crypto investments outpace his real estate assets. According to a recent Forbes report, Trump’s digital asset ventures have brought in nearly $1.2 billion over the last nine months, pushing his overall net worth to about $5.6 billion.

His achievements mainly stem from projects started before or even after the 2024 election. He has increased his annual liquidity from $400 million a year ago to around $900 million today. A significant portion of his liquid assets is now made up of cryptocurrency, addressing financial pressures linked to past legal judgments..

Crypto Tokens and Memecoin Earnings Boost Trump’s Wealth

World Liberty Financial greatly influenced Donald Trump’s recent financial gains. The company raised about $390 million through token sales before any taxes were paid. Initially, the project grew slowly, but after the election was won, prominent investors such as Justin Sun started adding large portions to their portfolios. Forbes estimates Trump personally collected about $246 million after taxes from this venture.

The TRUMP memecoin followed, bringing in roughly $315 million. The project drew significant interest from the digital-asset community, with investors trading millions in fees and tokens tied to Trump’s brand. 

Chainalysis data supports the size of these inflows. Besides, released memecoins generated profits, with the recent unlocking of over 8% from Trump and his partners, worth around $427 million.

Stablecoin and Investor Perks Raise New Questions

Trump’s crypto efforts extend into the stablecoin sector. His World Liberty Financial group recently launched USD1, a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar. Market analysts estimate the president’s share of the stablecoin business could be worth as much as $60 million. The current USD1 market cap is valued at $2.2 billion, making it one of the biggest stablecoins in the industry.

Investor perks have also fueled attention, with Trump hosting a private dinner at his golf club for leading TRUMP token holders. This event included figures like Justin Sun and prompted discussions about possible foreign influence and ethics, as investors paid large sums for access to the president. 

Lawmakers and industry experts have raised concerns about oversight and the broader implications of these ventures for political and financial transparency.
