Las criptoempresas vinculadas a Trump han añadido $620 millones a su patrimonio neto
El polémico exmandatario encuentra un nuevo filón en el mundo de las criptomonedas.
Sus proyectos digitales disparan su fortuna en pleno 2025, demostrando que incluso los políticos más tradicionales se rinden ante el 'dinero programable'. Porque cuando el efectivo habla, hasta los escépticos se convierten en evangelistas.
¿Ironía? Un presidente que antes twitteaba contra Bitcoin ahora capitaliza su ecosistema. Las cripto-estrategias de Trump cortan el ruido político y apuntan directo al bolsillo. $620M después, el mensaje es claro: en la era de las finanzas descentralizadas, hasta los populistas juegan al capitalismo de código abierto.
Bonus: Porque nada dice 'drenar el pantano' como crear tu propio sistema financiero paralelo.
Trumps pocket $390M from token sales
According to a report, Licensing deals have long helped the Trump family monetize its name. This includes everything from real estate projects to perfume bottles and mattresses. However, crypto is allowing the Trumps to cash in faster and on a far larger scale.
Real estate licensing brought in $34 million last year for the Trumps. This figure is too small in front of the money pouring in from token sales and digital asset firms that exist largely on the strength of the Trump name and MAGA brand. Eric Trump, executive vice president of the Trump Organization, has even said that “We have never been stronger.”
The Trumps are going all-in on the digital asset boom. Since December, Eric and Don Jr. have been making the rounds at crypto events in Abu Dhabi, Washington, Dubai, and Las Vegas, turning political influence into digital currency hype.
Back in the US, one of Trump’s more traditional assets, Trump National Doral in Miami, bagged a major win this January when it got the green light to build 1,500 luxury condos. This single move has increased the property’s estimated value from $350 million to $1.5 billion.
Despite this, digital assets are the category that is delivering the flashiest surge to the Trumps. The most lucrative of these ventures is World Liberty Financial (WLF). This platform is offering both a Trump-branded token and a stablecoin called USD1. Token sales have reportedly brought in $550 million, from which the Trump family has pocketed about $390 million. They also hold a massive stash of 22.5 billion World Liberty tokens, potentially worth over $2 billion. All these tokens are technically non-transferable for now.
Trump family now owns 80% of TRUMP coin
The report mentions that in June, the Trump family quietly reduced its stake in World Liberty from 60% to 40%. The details of the sale remain murky. Meanwhile, the USD1 stablecoin got a major push when Abu Dhabi’s MGX announced it was using the token to make a $2 billion investment in Binance. Binance founder Changpeng Zhao is now listed as a World Liberty adviser alongside Justin Sun and Bilal Bin Saqib. Meanwhile, CZ is seeking a presidential pardon after pleading guilty to US money-laundering charges.
Data shows that USD1 holds $2.2 billion circulation, suggesting its reserves alone could bring in $100 million annually. On the other hand, Trump memecoin’s 80% of the supply is held by Trump-linked entities. Bloomberg estimates Trump’s stake is already worth $150 million.
TRUMP price jumped by around 5% in the last 24 hours while it still remains down by 88% from its all time high of $75.34. TRUMP is trading at an average price of $9.04 with a trading volume of $269 million. To hype the memecoin, Trump hosted a private dinner for its top 220 holders in May at one of his golf clubs.
Recently, Eric Trump revealed that WLF plans to amass a “substantial position” in the Trump token, linking the two projects more closely. However, American Bitcoin, a new venture spun out of a Trump-affiliated investment bank, is also gaining traction. In a merger deal, Bitcoin miner Hut 8 handed over nearly all of its mining equipment to the company.
