United States President Donald Trump has substantially increased his portfolio of investments by at least $620 million, mostly through cryptocurrency investments. Recent reports indicate that these unforeseen profits, mostly from the family-supported cryptocurrency venture World Liberty Financial and his memecoin (Official Trump), now represent a “considerable percentage” of Trump’s total assets, increasing his net worth to more than $6 billion. This also marks the first time such investments have played a substantial role in his total wealth.
Crypto Asset Composition
As of June 2025, Donald Trump’s net worth primarily consists of stakes in Trump Media and Technology Group and various properties. Additionally, crypto investments constitute approximately 9% of his total portfolio, significantly exceeding the 5-7% average crypto exposure reported by global hedge funds.
Trump and his three sons made $390 million selling $550 million of tokens via World Liberty Financial. They hold over $2 billion worth of WLF, the company’s governance token. World Liberty Financial would have potentially raised $100 million after a $2 billion agreement with Abu Dhabi-based investment company MGX. The $620 million crypto wealth boost is an estimation of the Trump Organization’s total brand value, previously estimated by Bloomberg Intelligence, Memecoins and Associated Projects
Memecoin and Other Projects
Donald Trump’s stake in the TRUMP memecoin is worth an estimated $150 million. Following reports of a gain of $620 million, the memecoin’s price increased by over 45% within 24 hours. Millions of tokens in TRUMP are on offer over three years, though it is unclear whether the former president will be able to receive additional tokens.
In addition, two of Donald Trump’s sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, hold 20% of American Bitcoin together. American Bitcoin is a Hut 8 subsidiary and crypto mining behemoth. The firm has raised $220 million for Bitcoin and mining gear investments and will go public via a merger with Gryphon Digital Mining.
Additionally, the governance token of World Liberty Financial (WLF) experienced a concurrent increase of 15%, reflecting the market’s optimism regarding the President’s augmented responsibilities.
Congressional Response
Since Trump took office in January, his entry into the cryptocurrency market has witnessed many Democratic members of both houses, the Senate and House, propose bills. The bill is intended to ban presidents, vice presidents, members of Congress, and their families from sponsoring or possessing digital assets. Although the Democratic Party is in the minority in both chambers and does not have sufficient Republican backing for the present changes to the bill, lawmakers are still pursuing this matter. Last week, Oregon Senator Jeff Merkley introduced an amendment during the Senate consideration of the budget bill, attempting to address conflicts of interest resulting from the president’s cryptocurrency ventures.
