#trump family crypto The Trump family has turned crypto into a real cash‑machine. In the first half of 2025 alone they pulled in roughly *$800 million* from digital assets – more than 90 % of their total income for that period, according to Reuters ¹ ².
#
*Where the money came from*
- *World Liberty Financial (WLF)* – the family’s DeFi $platform that sells governance tokens (WLFI). Sales of WLFI netted about *$463 million* in H1 2025, with the Trump Organization taking a 75 % cut of token‑sale revenue ² ³.
- *Meme coins* – the $TRUMP meme coin generated around *$336 million* for the family, based on a 50 % assumed share of earnings ² ³.
- *Stablecoin USD1* – a dollar‑backed coin launched in March 2025; the Trumps own a 38 % stake in the entity that earns interest on the collateral, adding a modest but steady stream ².
- *$BTC # mining* – through American Bitcoin, a miner co‑owned by Eric and Donald Jr., they’re positioning for future upside ⁴.
- *Trump Media & Technology Group* – the parent of Truth Social is raising billions to buy bitcoin and launch crypto ETFs, further linking the brand to digital assets ⁴.
*Why it matters*
The crypto earnings dwarf the family’s traditional businesses – golf clubs, resorts and licensing brought in just *$62 million* in the same six‑month span ². That “massive pivot” has drawn scrutiny: a House Judiciary Committee report accused the administration of using crypto policy to boost the family’s wealth, and ethics watchdogs have flagged potential conflicts of interest ⁵ ⁶.
*Bottom line*#
The Trump name is now a crypto brand, generating hundreds of millions (and possibly over a billion dollars) in realized gains, while also exposing the family to the volatility and regulatory risk that comes with digital assets. If you’re watching this space, keep an eye on World Liberty’s token sales and any new moves from Trump Media – they’re the main engines driving the family’s crypto fortune. 🚀
