As of February 2026, the Trump family’s extensive cryptocurrency portfolio has faced a significant market downturn, but Melania Trump’s official memecoin, $MELANIA, has shown surprising resilience compared to other family-linked assets. While major holdings like American Bitcoin (ABTC) and the official $TRUMP coin have plummeted, the $MELANIA token recently outperformed both Bitcoin and Ethereum in year-to-date gains.
Performance of Melania’s Memecoin ($MELANIA)
The $MELANIA token, launched in January 2025, has experienced extreme volatility but remains a relative "bright spot" in the family's digital portfolio:
Recent Outperformance: Since a market-wide "flash crash" on October 10, 2025, $MELANIA has been the best-performing Trump-linked asset, dropping only 27% while other assets saw much steeper declines.
Early 2026 Surge: In mid-January 2026, the token surged 50% in value, fueled by speculative buzz surrounding an Amazon documentary about the First Lady.
Long-term Context: Despite recent resilience, the token remains down roughly 98% to 99% from its all-time high of $13.73 reached shortly after its launch in January 2025. Its market capitalization, which once peaked at $1.73 billion, currently sits around $164 million.
Status of Other Trump Family Crypto Assets
The broader Trump family crypto ecosystem has faced a difficult period, with several major projects seeing massive valuation losses:
American Bitcoin (ABTC): This Bitcoin mining and treasury firm, backed by Eric and Donald Trump Jr., has been the worst-performing family-linked asset since October 2025, plunging approximately 80%. Its market cap fell from a peak of $8.5 billion to just over $1 billion.
$TRUMP Memecoin: This token has continued to slide throughout early 2026, trading around $3.40 in February, down from a peak of nearly $73 in early 2025.
World Liberty Financial (WLFI): This DeFi platform has remained more independent of general market trends. While it has reportedly cashed out at least $1.2 billion in actual dollars over the last 16 months, its native token and stablecoin (USD1) are subject to ongoing scrutiny regarding potential conflicts of interest with foreign entities.

The Trump administration has actively supported the industry, with the President signing executive orders aimed at making the U.S. the "crypto capital of the planet". This pro-crypto agenda has seen the President personally amass crypto holdings worth more than $11 billion.

$TRUMP-coin appeared in January 2025 as a meme coin on the Solana blockchain, meaning a cryptocurrency whose value was initially based not on technology or utility, but on attention, symbolism, and interest in the personality of Donald Trump. The launch coincided with a period of high media interest in Trump.
