Trumps Add $1.4 Billion in Crypto-Related Assets to Family Fortune Since Inauguration

The Trump family’s wealth has increased by approximately $1.4 billion from cryptocurrency-related projects since the beginning of President Donald Trump’s second term. This addition accounts for roughly one-fifth of the family’s total net worth, which remains at about $6.8 billion.

The growth is primarily attributed to ventures like World Liberty Financial (WLFI), the Trump memecoin, and the Trump-named stablecoin USD1. According to reports, the Trump family has added $1.4 billion in crypto-related assets to their fortune since inauguration.

World Liberty Financial has been a significant contributor to the Trump family’s wealth, with founder tokens alone valued at $3.8 billion. These tokens are currently locked and not included in the Bloomberg calculation. The USD1 stablecoin, launched by World Liberty Financial, has also gained traction and is now used on platforms such as prediction market Myriad. As reported, the stablecoin has landed on prediction market Myriad.

The Trump family’s crypto empire expanded further with the launch of the Official Trump memecoin in January 2025. The token initially surged to a $10 billion market cap before settling at around $987 million as of January 2026. According to Decrypt, the memecoin's first year left crypto policy in limbo. Despite the volatility, the memecoin and related projects have generated over $1 billion in profits for the Trump family.

Why Did This Happen?

The Trump family’s shift toward cryptocurrency began during the president’s first term, with the addition of a social media company, a crypto platform co-founded by the president, and the creation of Trump-named meme coins. This trend has continued in his second term, with the family now investing in digital assets and expanding their business ventures.

Trump’s policies have also supported the crypto industry. He has signed legislation favorable to the sector and appointed regulators who have dismissed lawsuits against crypto firms. The administration’s stance has encouraged the growth of crypto projects and platforms like World Liberty Financial, which recently applied for a bank charter.

How Did Markets React?

The Trump family’s crypto projects have received mixed market reactions. While World Liberty Financial and USD1 have seen significant growth, the Trump Media & Technology Group Corp has lost 66% of its value over the past year. The Trump memecoin has also experienced a sharp decline, trading below $5 compared to its peak of $73.

The market’s response reflects broader uncertainties in the crypto industry. Despite the Trumps’ efforts to build a robust crypto portfolio, the sector remains volatile. The family’s wealth has also been affected by the drop in value of their social media assets, which has offset gains from crypto.

What Are Analysts Watching Next?

Analysts are closely monitoring the regulatory environment and how it might affect the Trump family’s crypto ventures. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency has shown a willingness to approve bank charters for crypto firms, which could benefit World Liberty Financial's application.

Political tensions are also a concern. Critics have raised conflict-of-interest issues regarding the Trumps’ continued operation of multiple crypto businesses while the president is in office. Rep. Maxine Waters introduced the "Stop TRUMP in Crypto Act of 2025," aiming to block the president and his family from profiting from digital assets.

Investors are also watching how the Trump administration’s pro-crypto policies impact the broader industry. The president’s support for digital assets has led to increased regulatory clarity and potential for growth. However, critics argue that the administration’s focus on crypto could distract from more pressing legislative priorities.
