TRUMP’S CRYPTO EMPIRE MADE $2.3B WHILE INVESTORS LOST $2.3B: REUTERS
Reuters estimates the Trump family has added at least $2.3B to its fortune through crypto ventures since the 2024 election, while investors in those projects have collectively lost roughly $2.3B.
According to Reuters’ review of blockchain records, corporate filings, public disclosures, and industry data, the Trump family’s largest crypto success has been World Liberty Financial, which has generated more than $1.4B from governance token sales alone.
The report says many investors bought World Liberty tokens expecting they would eventually trade freely on exchanges. Instead, token holders were initially restricted from selling more than 20% of their holdings, and a proposal approved this year could keep most tokens locked until 2030.
Reuters estimates World Liberty has funneled more than $1.6B to the Trump family through token sales and related ventures. At the same time, investors in the project have suffered an estimated $674M in losses
