Donald Trump (TRUMP)

Billion-dollar gains for Trump. Billion-dollar losses for his followers.

According to a Reuters analysis, since Trump's return to the White House the Trump family has earned at least $2.3 billion from their crypto projects.

Money that, of course, comes directly from the retail investors who put money into these projects.

The pattern repeats over and over:

Trump or his sons publicly promote a project. Investors pour in. The family cashes out via token sales, licensing fees or equity stakes. Then the prices crash.

Especially hard hit were buyers of meme‑coins, those involved with World Liberty Financial, and investors in Trump‑adjacent stock projects American Bitcoin and AI Financial. In some cases losses exceed 99%.

• TRUMP: -97.6%, $26.5 bn market‑cap decline
• WLFI: -88%, ~$12–13 bn market‑cap decline
• ABTC: -90%, ~$11 bn market‑cap decline
• MELANIA: -99.4%, $8.4 bn market‑cap decline

Crypto‑president and so on.

ICYMI: The Trump family reportedly earned around $2.3B from crypto-related ventures, while investors in those projects lost a similar amount.

World Liberty Financial reportedly generated nearly $1B+ for Trump-linked interests.

The $TRUMP memecoin generated an estimated $616M+ for the family.

Reuters report says many projects required little to no upfront capital from Trump-linked entities.

Investors reportedly lost $674M on $WLFI and over $700M on $TRUMP.
