Bloomberg reveals the Trump family’s crypto asset secrets: earning $1.4 billion in one year, accounting for nearly 20%

Bloomberg reveals that the Trump family’s crypto assets have for the first time approached 20% of their total assets, with approximately $1.4 billion in gains, but declines in other core assets keep their overall net worth at around $6.8 billion.

Crypto Asset Proportion Reaches 20% for the First Time, Family Wealth Structure Significantly Shifts

According to the latest report by Bloomberg, the total net worth of the Trump family in the United States is currently about $6.8 billion, with crypto assets accounting for nearly 20%. This marks the first time digital assets have reached such a significant proportion of their overall wealth. The report notes that over the past year alone, the Trump family has accumulated about $1.4 billion through various crypto-related ventures, making it the most notable source of their wealth change.

Bloomberg analysis indicates that this growth mainly occurred during Trump’s second term, closely related to new ventures in the crypto industry, including the co-founded crypto platform World Liberty Financial, the Trump-branded meme coin project $TRUMP, and the Bitcoin mining company American Bitcoin Corp.

Among these, the price fluctuations of the platform token and stablecoin $USD1 issued by World Liberty Financial are seen as key factors driving the increase in book value, also making the Trump family one of the families most involved in the crypto industry among political figures.

Significant Fluctuations in Book Value, Limited Actual Net Asset Growth

However, Bloomberg also emphasizes that despite the impressive book gains from crypto projects, the overall net worth of the Trump family has not changed much compared to a year ago, remaining at about $6.8 billion. The main reason is that the value of other core assets has declined, offsetting the gains from the crypto market.

Specifically, the stock price of Trump Media & Technology Group (NASDAQ: DJT), which the family holds, has plummeted about 60% over the past 12 months, becoming a major drag on overall wealth. Bloomberg points out that the underperformance of this social media-focused company has forced some of the gains from crypto investments to be “offset in place.”

Furthermore, even when the book valuation of crypto projects temporarily surged, the actual available funds remain relatively limited. The report mentions that the Trump family still holds a large amount of founder tokens of World Liberty Financial, valued at about $3.8 billion at current prices, but these tokens are still locked and have not been included in Bloomberg’s net asset calculations.

Looking back to September last year when the tokens were first launched, their price once reached about $0.30, with a single project’s book value exceeding $5 billion. Now, the price has fallen back to around $0.16, illustrating the high volatility of crypto assets.

Intertwined Political Identity and Crypto Ventures Spark Conflict of Interest Concerns

The report also points out that the Trump family has not fully committed to the crypto industry. Through their family venture capital firm 1789 Capital, they continue to invest in large tech companies such as space tech firm SpaceX. Meanwhile, the Trump Organization is expanding real estate branding and licensing businesses worldwide to maintain a diversified asset allocation.

However, as the proportion of crypto assets in the family’s wealth rapidly increases, questions about potential conflicts of interest are rising. World Liberty Financial was co-founded by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, and project documents list Donald Trump himself as an “honorary co-founder,” blurring the lines between his policy stance and business interests.

In response, a White House spokesperson stated that the current administration aims to make the U.S. a central hub for the global crypto industry through administrative measures and policy tools, and that these ventures are part of fulfilling campaign promises.

Bloomberg cites multiple experts who suggest that the rapid shift in the Trump family’s wealth structure not only reflects the growing influence of the crypto market within the global capital system but also highlights an unprecedented intersection and tension between political figures and digital assets.
