Donald Trump and his family are among the most active members of the American crypto industry. And a clear example of this is that now, according to a recent research, the family of US President Donald Trump has made almost $1 billion in pre-tax earnings over the last 12 months from their many cryptocurrency-related endeavours.
The Trump family and crypto
Cryptocurrencies backed by the Trump family include trading cards, DeFi platforms, memecoins, and stablecoins.
The Financial Times claims that memecoins associated with him and his spouse, TRUMP and MELANIA, brought in about $427 million. In the meantime, sales of WLFI tokens brought in almost $550 million.
The company’s revenues from reserves and fees have generated $2.71 billion for the USD1 stablecoin initiative, which is backed one-to-one by US Treasuries.
“USD1 is very important to us and that should be very important, frankly, to anyone,” said Zach Witkoff, CEO of World Liberty Financial, at the Token2049 event in Singapore early this month.

The Crypto Empire of Donald Trump
According to the study, the Trump family-backed cryptocurrency business has received billions of dollars from private investors. For example, WLFI received a $75 million investment from Justin Sun, a Chinese blockchain entrepreneur. However, he eventually encountered a wallet blacklist that prevented him from sending WLFI tokens.
Additionally, it was stated that MGX, which is backed by Abu Dhabi’s sovereign wealth fund, gave Binance $2 billion in investment using the USD1 stablecoin.
Additionally, the once-losing Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) raised billions of dollars in 2025 to introduce a digital wallet and utility coin. The company has grown to be a $3 billion cash producer, with Trump owning more than half of it.
Using the family name and political clout, Trump family members, including his sons Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, have aggressively advertised their cryptocurrency endeavours.
Making America the ‘Bitcoin Capital’
“My father was the first guy to run as sort of a pro crypto president. He saw the need,” said Donald Trump Jr., the eldest son of President Trump, during a panel at Token2049 Singapore.
Additionally, the family has made use of public gatherings to promote its tokens and raise their worth. The President invited only the top 220 memecoin buyers, whose combined purchases were above $150 million, to a secret dinner in May.
Also, since Trump took office, the White House has made pro-crypto policy statements that have garnered attention and coincided with a spike in the price of Bitcoin and other tokens.
