Trump Family Gained $1.3B from Crypto, But How?

trump backed wlfi

The Trump family has boosted its fortune by $1.3 billion through crypto ventures. Bloomberg now estimates their total net worth at $7.7 billion. Most of this gain came from WLFI token and American Bitcoin shares. 

WLFI Token Added $670 Million 

Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and Barron Trump co-founded World Liberty Financial (WLFI) last year. On September 1, WLFI launched its token with a $7 billion market cap. According to Bloomberg, this single move increased the Trump family’s collective wealth by $670 million. 

WLFI already has over 24 billion tokens in circulation. However, the family’s 22.5 billion token allocation remains locked, meaning it cannot yet be liquidated. Still, World Liberty quickly positioned itself as a major player. Backed by Nasdaq-listed ALT5 Sigma, WLFI secured $1.5 billion in funding. This treasury strategy is designed to strengthen digital reserves and ensure long-term financial stability. 

American Bitcoin and Real Estate Tokenization 

Eric Trump owns about 7.5% of American Bitcoin (ABTC). After its September 3 market debut, his stake nearly reached $1 billion. Donald Trump Jr. also holds a smaller, undisclosed share. 

American Bitcoin went public after merging with Gryphon Digital Mining and now trades under the ticker ABTC. The company also partnered with Hut 8 Corp. to secure mining hardware and expand operations. 

Meanwhile, the family is preparing for its next blockchain move: real estate tokenization. According to Soul Ventures’ Warren Hui, Eric Trump has discussed creating blockchain-based tokens backed by physical properties. In practice, this would turn real estate assets into tradable digital securities. This initiative combines the Trump family’s property expertise with crypto innovation. 

For decades, the family grew its wealth through real estate and hospitality. However, WLFI and American Bitcoin have already generated wealth comparable to Mar-a-Lago and Trump Tower. Both ventures show how quickly the Trumps are shifting their focus from traditional property to blockchain finance.
