Trump’s Crypto Comeback: How the Former President Turned Digital Tokens into Billions
Once known for bankruptcies and bold real estate moves, Donald Trump has made a jaw-dropping financial rebound—thanks in large part to cryptocurrency. Since stepping into office for a second term, Trump’s net worth has more than doubled, skyrocketing from $2.3 billion to $5.1 billion, according to Forbes.
Just last year, Trump faced a $454 million fraud case, with New York Attorney General Letitia James even eyeing asset seizures. But after a successful appeal reduced the penalty to $175 million, Trump shifted gears fast.
He took Truth Social’s parent company public, bringing in modest revenue. Then came a string of side ventures—Bibles, guitars, even shoes—but nothing compared to the crypto boom.
Trump launched World Liberty Financial with his sons, earning a staggering $245 million after tax. He followed it up with his meme coin, $TRUMP, banking at least $110 million more.
The president’s fortune now rides on digital currency—but critics are raising eyebrows over the ethics. As one post read:
“Unlimited and untraceable money to a sitting president—what could go wrong?”
Meanwhile, Trump continues to blast Nancy Pelosi for alleged insider trading. But as his portfolio grows, so does the scrutiny.
