Trump Family Earns $2.3 Billion From Crypto Ventures
Donald Trump and his sons earned $2.3 billion from cryptocurrency projects while over one million investors faced equivalent losses, according to a Reuters investigation.
A Reuters investigation reveals that Donald Trump and his sons generated at least $2.3 billion in profits from four primary cryptocurrency ventures following his return to the White House. The Trump family employed a low-risk business model by licensing the family brand while risking little to no personal capital. By the end of April 2026, this strategy resulted in net losses of approximately $2.3 billion for more than one million investors.
World Liberty Financial served as the family's largest venture, raising over $1.4 billion through the sale of governance tokens. Other central projects included the $TRUMP meme coin and investments in American Bitcoin and AI Financial Corp. The stock of AI Financial Corp., formerly known as Alt5 Sigma, collapsed by 93 percent after the company traded shares for World Liberty tokens.
The White House and the Trump Organization have denied any wrongdoing or conflicts of interest. In response to the findings, the Democracy Defenders Fund has called for the United States Securities and Exchange Commission to launch a formal probe into the family's digital asset activities.
