The post Trump Family’s Crypto Empire Surpasses $1 Billion in Profits appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
U.S. President Donald Trump and his family have reportedly earned over $1 billion in pre-tax profits from their ventures in the digital asset world over the past year. What started as a small NFT experiment with Trump-themed trading cards has evolved into a massive crypto empire, covering meme coins, stablecoins, tokens, and even DeFi platforms.
Trump Family Earns Over $1 Billion
According to data shared by Wu Blockchain, Trump’s crypto-related businesses generated huge earnings across multiple projects. The TRUMP and MELANIA coins alone brought in around $427 million, fueled by community hype and online trading.
The largest contribution comes from the WLFI token, which became publicly tradable in September 2025. Despite falling 57% from its early peak, the token generated about $550 million in profits.
But the biggest surprise came from the USD1 stablecoin, which reportedly saw over $2.7 billion in sales within months of its release, showing strong demand among users looking for a politically branded digital dollar alternative.
Trump Turns Politics Into Crypto Profits
Donald Trump’s entry into crypto has surprised many. Once a critic, he stepped into the space in late 2023 with World Liberty Financial (WLF), a DeFi platform that blends traditional business with blockchain.
Trump, his sons Donald Jr. and Eric, and partner Steve Witkoff own about 60% of WLF. The project earns mainly from WLFI token sales, staking, and lending. The token launch alone added nearly $1.3 billion to the Trump family’s wealth within weeks.
Even his other company, Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), which once faced heavy losses, turned profitable after investing in digital tokens and Bitcoin, now generating over $3 billion in revenue.
Trump’s Growing Crypto Wealth With Institutional Support
The Trump family’s crypto projects, including meme coins, stablecoins, and DeFi platforms, now make up a major part of their wealth.
American Bitcoin Corp. (ABTC), a Bitcoin mining firm backed by Trump’s sons and allies, has also added significantly. Listed on Nasdaq in May, ABTC’s stock jumped over 110%, bringing hundreds of millions in paper gains to family trusts.
Together, these ventures have strengthened Trump’s position as one of America’s top crypto investors, alongside names like Michael Saylor and the Winklevoss twins.
