President Donald Trump has been courting the cryptocurrency industry and community through much of his campaign and has been engaged with digital assets both directly and indirectly in recent months.
Perhaps his most overt action pertaining to cryptocurrencies came around the inauguration day – January 20 – when he personally, along with several members of the Trump family, launched a series of thematic meme coins.
Though others – perhaps most notably the Official Melania meme (MELANIA) – rapidly gained market cap after the launch, the OFFICIAL TRUMP (TRUMP) was the biggest winner of the event.
Despite such actions and despite what might have been hoped from the new administration, Donald Trump’s own cryptocurrency portfolio fell substantially mere weeks after the inauguration, per the latest data Finbold retrieved from the blockchain analytics platform Arkham Intelligence on February 6.
Trump’s portfolio drops to 2025 value weeks after inauguration
Specifically, the President had approximately $9.4 million worth of cryptocurrency on New Year’s Day, and the value soared to $23 million by January 18. Less than three weeks later, on February 6, 2025, the portfolio is worth $3.1 million – some $20 million less.
The cryptocurrency allocations have also changed. Though the Trog (TROG) meme coin – a digital asset more likely to have been sent to the billionaire politician as a marketing ploy than deliberately purchased by the Republican – still holds the top spot, notably Ethereum (ETH) has fallen far from the second place.
For what it’s worth, however, it would appear that, in most cases, the radical change in the value of the portfolio has more to do with the fluctuations in the cryptocurrency market than with ‘dumping.’
Trump appears not to have touched his TROG or a different TRUMP meme coin not affiliated with the President, as the Arkham archive shows he held approximately 210 billion of the former and 579,000 of the latter on January 19 and that he held the same amount on February 6.
Still, the data also reveals that the drop in the ETH balance can’t only be attributed to the 17.19% drop in the token’s value between the dates. Indeed, on January 19, the Trump portfolio contained nearly 496 Ethereum and, at press time, contained just under 6.
