US President Donald Trump has added a staggering $620 million to his net worth in just a few months, largely thanks to his rapidly expanding involvement in cryptocurrency.
According to a Bloomberg report published Wednesday, Trump’s crypto-related assets have become a significant part of his wealth for the first time. While his fortune remains anchored in real estate holdings and his media venture, Trump Media and Technology Group, digital assets now account for roughly 9% of his estimated $6 billion portfolio as of June.
A major contributor was World Liberty Financial, a family-backed crypto business that has seen explosive growth in 2025. Trump’s personal foray into memecoins also added hundreds of millions to his balance sheet, even as critics raised alarms about ethics and market manipulation.
$390M Windfall from Token Sales and a $150M Memecoin Stake
Bloomberg’s reporting reveals that Trump and his three sons collectively netted about $390 million from $550 million in token sales conducted by World Liberty Financial. They also hold governance tokens valued at more than $2 billion, cementing their outsized stake in the venture.
World Liberty Financial reportedly benefited from a $2 billion deal with Abu Dhabi’s MGX, which used the company’s stablecoin USD1 to complete an investment in Binance—potentially earning Trump’s firm another $100 million.
His personal memecoin, Official Trump (TRUMP), quickly became one of the year’s most controversial tokens. Despite condemnation from lawmakers over perks like exclusive dinners for the top 220 holders, the investment is valued around $150 million. Millions of additional tokens remain locked up and are set to be gradually unlocked over the next three years, although it’s unclear whether Trump will claim more.
Separately, American Bitcoin, a mining venture in which Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump own a 20% stake, raised $220 million for new equipment and Bitcoin accumulation. The firm plans to go public through a merger with Gryphon Digital Mining.
Lawmakers Push to Limit Presidential Crypto Ties
Trump’s deepening entanglement with crypto businesses has sparked mounting calls in Congress to impose stricter guardrails on presidential investments.
Since Trump returned to the White House in January, Democratic lawmakers have introduced proposals that would prohibit sitting presidents, vice presidents, and members of Congress—as well as their families—from promoting or owning digital assets.
With Republicans holding the majority in both chambers, efforts to pass these measures have consistently failed. However, legislators have continued raising the issue in high-profile debates.
Most recently, during deliberations over Trump’s sprawling budget bill, Senator Jeff Merkley of Oregon submitted an amendment aimed at tackling potential conflicts of interest stemming from the president’s crypto ventures.
