Trump & Sons’ Stake in Crypto Firm Worth $5 Billion
A cryptocurrency venture founded by Donald Trump and his sons has seen its market value soar—placing the family’s holdings at an estimated $5 billion, even though the tokens remain locked. Here’s how it all adds up.
Quick Insight: The Trump family controls nearly 25% of the WLFI tokens issued by World Liberty Financial. Their holdings alone, valued at $5 billion on paper, make crypto their single most valuable asset to date.
1. World Liberty Financial (WLFI) Tokens
World Liberty Financial, co-founded by Donald Trump, Eric Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and Barron Trump, launched its digital token ($WLFI) in 2025. The token’s debut prompted investors and markets to value the family’s holdings at around $5 billion, even though the tokens are currently locked and unsellable.
2. Donald Trump’s Personal WLFI Share
Of the WLFI holdings, Donald Trump himself owns approximately 15.75 billion tokens, valued at roughly $3.4 billion on paper.
3. WLFI Revenue Stakes
Beyond token value, the Trump family also earns a portion of revenue from WLFI sales—estimated to exceed $500 million already.
4. American Bitcoin Stake (Eric Trump & Donald Trump Jr.)
The Trump brothers also hold stakes in American Bitcoin Corp (a Nasdaq-listed bitcoin miner). Their share—about 20%—was valued at roughly $1.5 billion based on the closing stock price on its debut, and may have peaked near $2.6 billion intraday.
Final Thoughts
The Trump family’s pivot into crypto has made their WLFI token holdings their most valuable asset—estimated at $5 billion on paper—even though liquidity is currently restricted. Combined with their stake in American Bitcoin Corp, the family's crypto assets now rival—or even surpass—traditional holdings, while raising serious ethical concerns about political influence in financial markets.
Reminder: These holdings are largely paper-based and illiquid. Regulatory scrutiny and market volatility could dramatically affect these valuations.
