The Trump family has seen their net worth increase by approximately $1.3 billion through two cryptocurrency-focused ventures, bringing their total wealth to $7.7 billion according to Bloomberg's Billionaires Index.
World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a decentralized finance protocol co-founded by Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and Barron Trump in 2024, contributed $670 million to the family's wealth following its token launch on September 1. The token debuted with a $7 billion market cap and began trading on major exchanges including Binance. The Trump family holds approximately $4 billion worth of WLFI tokens, though these remain locked and cannot be immediately traded. The project secured $1.5 billion in funding led by Nasdaq-listed ALT5 Sigma.
American Bitcoin Corp (ABTC), a Bitcoin mining company co-founded by Eric Trump in March 2024, added nearly $1 billion to the family's wealth at its peak. Eric Trump holds around 7.5% of the company, while Donald Trump Jr. maintains an undisclosed stake. The company went public through a merger with Gryphon Digital Mining on September 3, trading on Nasdaq under ticker ABTC. The stock experienced extreme volatility on its debut day, reaching a high of $14 before falling over 50% to $6.24, with trading halted five times due to price swings. Current shares trade at approximately $7.36 each.
The family is now exploring real estate tokenization as their next blockchain venture, with Warren Hui of Soul Ventures confirming discussions with Eric Trump about digitizing physical property assets. WLFI tokens experienced a 40% price drop after the initial trading spike, with over 24 billion tokens currently in circulation.
