In an era where cryptocurrency has become a significant topic in both financial and political spheres, current U.S. President Donald Trump’s involvement in the crypto space has garnered considerable attention. His association with World Liberty Financial and his personal crypto portfolio have been subjects of much speculation and analysis. Here, we delve into the specifics of Trump’s crypto holdings and the current landscape of World Liberty Fi.
Donald Trump’s Personal Crypto Portfolio
Donald Trump’s crypto portfolio has been tracked by Arkham Intelligence for well over 2 years, revealing a diversified basket of digital assets that are mostly correlated to his NFT project sales. According to data at time of writing:
- Trump’s total Crypto holdings are over $2 million but all may not be what it appears.
- Ethereum (ETH): Trump holds a relatively small amount of $ETH totaling around only $15,000.
- The majority of his holdings come from various other crypto projects that have likely sent amounts of the supply as a form of marketing. Projects such as $TROG and $TRUMP (MAGA memecoin – an ETH project launched in August of 2023) as well as $USDC make up the largest holdings in his wallet of over 6-7 figures

Donald Trump’s $TRUMP Project Earnings
The Official Trump Memes team, through the entities CIC Digital LLC and Fight Fight Fight LLC, made approximately $100 million from the launch of the $TRUMP token on Solana. This figure is attributed to the fees collected from trading activities shortly after the token’s launch.
The $TRUMP token was launched on Solana on January 17, 2025. Initially, tokens were sold at $6 each. Within hours of its launch, the token’s value surged dramatically, reaching an all-time high of around $75 on January 19, 2025.
This surge gave the token a market capitalization of nearly $15 billion. Since then, the TRUMP token has lost value of time to sit at around the $3.4 billion market cap mark at time of writing. However, the memecoin maintains considerable size owing to its cultural significance and the hype surrounding its launch.
While it is probable that wallets connected to the team profited far more than the initial amount thought of $100M, it is currently unknown if any of them are officially linked to the POTUS himself.
World Liberty Financial: Current Holdings and Operations
World Liberty Financial (WLF), launched with Trump’s backing last year, has quickly established itself as a notable player in the DeFi space. Here’s an overview of WLF’s current holdings:
- Crypto Assets: WLF holds a diverse portfolio including Ethereum, Bitcoin, and other tokens like TRX, LINK, AAVE, and ONDO, with a total value with $335M held on Centralized Exchanges and $46.6M Currently held in their public wallet, nearing a grand total of $381 million according to data on Arkham. Notably, XRP is absent from this list.
- Strategic Token Reserve: WLF has announced the creation of a strategic token reserve aimed at bolstering key cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, potentially stabilizing market volatility and fostering innovation in DeFi.
Rumored Future Plans for World Liberty Financial
While World Liberty has kept much of its future strategy under wraps, several rumors and speculations have surfaced:
- Stablecoin Launch: There’s talk within the crypto community and corroborated by industry insiders that WLF might launch its own stablecoin, aiming to leverage the Trump brand’s global recognition to increase adoption.
- Expansion into Traditional Finance: Some speculate that WLF could bridge the gap between traditional finance and DeFi by offering services like lending and borrowing, potentially attracting a broader audience to cryptocurrency.
- Regulatory Influence: Given Trump’s past statements about creating a “crypto capital of the world,” there’s a belief that WLF might benefit from regulatory changes or a more crypto-friendly environment under a Trump-influenced administration.
- International Partnerships: Recent moves suggest WLF might be looking towards international markets, possibly through partnerships with established financial institutions or crypto platforms to expand its influence globally.
Donald Trump’s engagement with cryptocurrency through his personal holdings and his involvement with World Liberty Financial showcases a deep commitment to this new form of digital asset. His portfolio, rich with diverse cryptocurrencies, reflects a strategic investment approach, while WLF’s operations hint at ambitious plans to reshape finance. As the crypto narrative continues to evolve, Trump’s involvement will undoubtedly remain a focal point for both investors and political observers alike.
Whether these plans materialize or pivot with the ever-changing crypto landscape, Trump’s influence in the crypto world is a testament to the sector’s growing significance in both the economic and political arenas.
