Donald Trump's family wealth is still around $6.8 billion, but for the first time, about one-fifth of it is tied to highly volatile digital assets — making crypto a central pillar of the first family's balance sheet.
⚫️ New crypto ventures — the World Liberty platform, the USD1 stablecoin, a Trump memecoin, and American bitcoin mining — have already generated about $1.4 billion in cash, while locked founder tokens and the stablecoin economy could add billions more on paper.
⚫️ The links with controversial personalities in the industry fuel concerns about conflicts of interest: large purchases of tokens from Justin Sun, a pardon for Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, and the U.S. government's support for companies backed by the MAGA-aligned fund 1789 Capital blur the line between politics and private gain.
⚫️ 1789 Capital, of which Donald Trump Jr. is a partner, has raised about 2 billion dollars and invested in names ranging from SpaceX to the rare earth producer Vulcan Elements, which subsequently secured a 620 million dollar loan from the Pentagon and 50 million dollars in incentives from the Chips Act.
⚫️ On the traditional side, shares of Trump Media have dropped by 66% over the past year, even as it announces new ventures, while the Trump Organization resumes foreign licensing agreements and tests tokenized real estate projects like a hotel in the Maldives.
The wealth of the Trump family is increasingly oriented towards crypto and market sentiment at a time when regulation, geopolitics, and presidential decision-making can all cause valuations to fluctuate—raising the stakes for investors and institutions exposed to the agenda of the "crypto capital of the world."
