- Trump family net worth jumps $1.3 billion from crypto investments in WLFI and American Bitcoin
- World Liberty Financial token launch contributes $670 million to family wealth

The Trump family accumulated $1.3 billion in new wealth this week through cryptocurrency investments. Their combined net worth now totals $7.7 billion based on Bloomberg Billionaires Index calculations.
World Liberty Financial (WLFI) generated $670 million for the Trump portfolio after its token launched September 1. The DeFi protocol was created by Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and Barron Trump earlier this year.
Eric Trump’s American Bitcoin holdings peaked at nearly $1 billion following the company’s stock market debut. He owns approximately 7.5% of the Bitcoin mining operation he co-founded in March.
WLFI tokens began trading on major exchanges including Binance this Monday. The initial $7 billion market cap provided substantial gains before prices dropped 40% from peak levels.
Volatile Market Debuts Drive Gains
American Bitcoin merged with Gryphon Digital Mining to go public September 3. The stock now trades as ABTC on US exchanges.
ABTC shares experienced extreme price swings on debut day. Trading halted five times as the stock climbed to $14 before crashing over 50% to $6.24.
Current ABTC prices hover around $7.36 per share. The volatility reflects broader uncertainty in crypto-related equity markets.
The Trump family holds $4 billion worth of locked WLFI tokens. These holdings cannot be traded immediately due to vesting restrictions.
World Liberty Financial secured $1.5 billion in funding from Nasdaq-listed ALT5 Sigma. The capital supports treasury operations and digital asset accumulation.
Expansion Into Real Estate Tokenization
Trump family representatives discussed tokenizing real estate assets with blockchain partners. Warren Hui of Soul Ventures confirmed meetings about digitizing physical properties.
This strategy would create tradeable blockchain representations of real-world real estate. The approach combines the family’s traditional property expertise with emerging crypto technology.
American Bitcoin partnered with Hut 8 Corp for mining hardware access. The company focuses exclusively on Bitcoin extraction operations.
Donald Trump Jr. maintains an undisclosed stake in the mining venture. Both brothers actively promote their cryptocurrency projects across social media platforms.
Over 24 billion WLFI tokens currently circulate on exchanges. The family’s restricted allocation of 22.5 billion tokens remains illiquid until lock-up periods expire.
The crypto wealth now rivals traditional Trump Organization real estate assets. Properties like Trump Tower and Mar-a-Lago previously represented the family’s primary value sources.
World Liberty Financial plans additional DeFi services to compete with established protocols. American Bitcoin continues expanding its mining capacity through equipment partnerships.
