Donald Trump Sees His Wealth Increase By 620 Million Thanks To Crypto

It only took him a few months to amass a digital fortune. Donald Trump, master of branding and political capitalization, has long sensed the potential of digital assets. Already a pioneer with his superhero-themed NFTs, he pushes his strategy a step further with a crypto offensive orchestrated by his close circle. Barely returned to the White House, a first financial assessment is already necessary: his crypto empire is said to have generated 620 million dollars. This windfall reveals much more than an investment strategy – it questions the dividing lines between power, influence, and enrichment.

Trump, his crypto, and the art of turning influence into digital gold bars

Launched just before his return to the White House, the TRUMP memecoin quickly increased in value, multiplying by 5: 150 million dollars. A marketing gadget for some, a political Trojan horse for others, this token established itself as a showcase — and a promise. To its loyal holders: a dinner with the president, an exclusive guided tour. To its opponents: a puzzle about the permeability between public functions and speculative leverage.

But the heart of the matter lies elsewhere. It beats within World Liberty Financial, the crypto platform run by the Trump family. 550 million dollars worth of tokens sold, of which 390 million were directly cashed by the clan. And it is not over: they still hold 2 billion in WLF tokens, ready to grow.

The formula is perfected: generate adhesion, inject branding, capture attention and trigger speculation. The result: a parallel crypto-economy woven around a name.

Senator Jeff Merkley put it bluntly:

No president should be able to promote or own digital assets based on their political decisions.

But in Congress, Republican obstacles block any attempt at regulation.

Crypto, real estate, and branding: Trump redefines family capitalism

Since January, crypto has outpaced his real estate in profitability speed. While his overall fortune remains valued at 6.4 billion dollars, Trump clearly redirects his wealth strategy. In the background, his sons establish themselves as dynastic relays.

Donald Jr. and Eric hold 20% of American Bitcoin, a branch of Hut 8, which raised 220 million for mining equipment purchases. A merger with Gryphon Digital Mining is planned.

In this new architecture, crypto has become for the Trumps a machine for political, financial, and social dividends. Through World Liberty Financial, they partnered with MGX (Abu Dhabi), converting 2 billion into USD stablecoins for a deal with Binance. A geopolitical as well as economic maneuver.

Some key figures:

• 620 million $ amassed in crypto in a few months;
• 2 billion $ in WLF tokens still held by the family;
• 150 million $ for the current valuation of the TRUMP memecoin;
• 220 million $ raised via American Bitcoin;
• 390 million $ of direct revenue from the sale of WLF tokens.

Trump no longer needs to build towers. He builds tokens, assembles protocols, and makes markets vibrate.

A study published in April confirmed what many feared: Trump’s fortune has doubled thanks to two precise levers – his social platform Truth Social and the crypto he built. A digital growth model that redefines the boundaries between communication, investment, and executive power. The entrepreneurial president no longer builds buildings: he prints tokens.
