Trump family boosts crypto fortune by $1.3B in under a month

The family of U.S. President Donald Trump has expanded its cryptocurrency fortune by roughly $1.3 billion in less than a month, Bloomberg reported. The rapid growth was fueled by World Liberty Financial (WLFI) and American Bitcoin Corp.
Bloomberg estimates the Trump family’s wealth at $7.7 billion, not counting around $4 billion in tokens that remain locked. Unlocking those assets could further boost their net worth.
World Liberty Financial, launched with the involvement of Donald Trump Jr., Eric, and Barron Trump, played a central role. On September 1, 2025, WLFI began trading its token after securing a deal with a UAE-based fund to purchase a large allocation — adding roughly $670 million to the family’s fortune.
American Bitcoin Corp., founded in March 2025 and focused on crypto mining, was another major contributor. Following a sharp rise in share prices on September 3, Eric Trump’s stake exceeded $500 million.
Analysts say the family’s pivot toward crypto marks a strategic shift. While the Trump brand was once synonymous with real estate landmarks like Trump Tower and Mar-a-Lago, digital assets are now becoming a key driver of wealth growth.
According to Bloomberg, future plans may include real estate tokenization, an idea strongly backed by Eric Trump.
