Full analysis of Trump's crypto landscape: earning billions of dollars in 2025, covering Meme coins, DeFi, and investments in publicly listed companies

In 2025, the Trump family’s布局 in the cryptocurrency sector will迎来 explosive returns, covering Meme coins, decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols, and investments in related publicly listed companies, forming a highly commercialized and also highly controversial “Trump Cryptocurrency Empire.” According to Forbes estimates, Trump’s personal net worth is approximately $6.6 billion, with a significant portion derived from crypto-related gains.

The most关注 is Trump-themed Meme coins. In early 2025, Trump and his wife Melania successively推出 personal themed tokens, with initial market caps reaching tens of billions of dollars. However, as the speculative frenzy subsided, token prices plummeted, causing heavy losses for early investors, with some declines exceeding 90%. Despite this, the Trump family remains the主要受益方. Public information shows that Trump or his controlled entities ultimately can obtain up to 80% of the total token supply, and even considering liquidity and sell pressure restrictions, their book value remains extremely high. On-chain data indicates that related wallets have transferred nearly $100 million in stablecoins and some tokens to custody and trading platforms, showing signs of phased liquidation.

Compared to Meme coins, World Liberty Financial is viewed as a project with更具长期影响力. This DeFi protocol raised $550 million through WLFI token sales, with about 75% of the distributable收益 flowing to entities controlled by the Trump family. Although Trump no longer serves as co-founder of the project, he continues to benefit through equity and token holdings. Currently, the market value of WLFI tokens indirectly held by Trump has exceeded $2 billion, although they remain locked. Additionally, the USD stablecoin issued by the project is backed by US Treasuries and cash equivalents,预计每年可产生约 $100 million in interest income, most of which also归属于 Trump family-related entities.

However, at the listed company level, Trump’s crypto investments are明显承压. After Trump Media & Technology Group bought Bitcoin at high levels, the subsequent price correction has resulted in significant unrealized losses. The Bitcoin mining company American Bitcoin, in which family members participate, has seen its stock price大幅下跌 since上市, with related holdings severely缩水.

Looking ahead, Trump’s crypto business empire仍具强大吸金能力, but regulatory scrutiny, conflicts of interest allegations, and market volatility risks are accumulating. Although the White House denies any违规行为, political and financial risks可能在 2026 年 further amplify. Even so, with the strong个人品牌效应, cryptocurrencies可能成为 Trump decades-long商业生涯中最具盈利潜力的领域之一.
