The Financial Times says President Donald Trump’s wealth has risen sharply, thanks to crypto. The report states his family’s profits from digital assets now exceed $1 billion before tax. This includes income from digital trading cards, meme coins, stablecoins, and DeFi ventures tied to World Liberty Financial (WLFI).
The Trump Meme Coin and Melania Meme Coin alone brought in $427 million. These presidential tokens have become political symbols as much as financial ones. The American president’s companies reportedly own 80% of the meme coin enterprise, cementing control over one of the market’s most lucrative narratives.
Eric Trump told the Financial Times that the $1 billion estimate was “probably more.” His father has not denied it. Unlike past presidents, Trump has not distanced himself from his business ventures. Instead, he has expanded them, promising to make America the “crypto capital of the world.”
The WLFI token remains his crown jewel. Once closed to investors, it went public in September and has earned around $550 million, even after a 57% price drop. The president himself declared a $57.3 million personal income from World Liberty Financial in his latest disclosure.
Then there are the digital cards, the president as a superhero, the president on a motorcycle that are selling for “several million dollars.” Add in stable coin profits and short-term debt earnings, and the figure grows even higher.
Forbes pegs the American president’s net worth at $3 billion higher than last year. His gamble on crypto, particularly the presidential meme coins, has not just paid off, it has reshaped the image of political power in the age of blockchain.
