Trump has made more than $1B from crypto in a year

a month ago

Donald Trump earned over $1 billion from cryptocurrency in the past year, despite previously calling it a 'scam'.
Trump's crypto ventures include the $TRUMP memecoin, governance token WLFI, and stablecoin USD1, primarily operated through World Liberty Financial and affiliated companies.
The $TRUMP memecoin generated over $600 million, while World Liberty brought in more than $500 million, contributing to Trump's estimated net worth rise from $2.3 billion in 2024 to $6 billion.
USD1 stablecoin benefited from Binance's involvement and a $2 billion investment from Abu Dhabi's MGX, creating significant interest-earning reserves and regulatory leniency.
Trump's crypto dealings have raised corruption concerns, with critics alleging conflicts of interest and untraceable gifts, while some regulations like the GENIUS Act are seen as positive but risk being undermined.

A shell company used by the Trump family to purchase its own stablecoin also owns Bitsika, a Ghana-based fintech that advertised a crypto virtual card evading Iran sanctions, later removed after exposure.
Bitsika relied on AI-generated content without human review and used MSwipe, a middleware fintech with lax KYC protocols, to issue the cards, highlighting regulatory gaps in fintech and crypto.
MSwipe is a subsidiary of ALT5 Sigma (later AI Financial), which acquired $1.5 billion in crypto tokens from WLF, netting the Trump family $500 million, though WLFI token value has since plummeted.

President Donald Trump executed over 21,000 securities trades in his first year back in office, with total value between $600 million and $1.86 billion.
Trump averaged 85 trades per market day, with 10 days accounting for a quarter of all trades, often coinciding with market volatility from his policy announcements.
There were over 200 instances where Trump bought and sold the same stock on the same day across different accounts, and occasional same-account same-day buys and sells.

Vadim Fistikan invested $205,000 in Trump Media and saw it drop to $30,000, wiping out his savings.
Multiple Trump-related ventures, including Trump Media, World Liberty Financial, and memecoins, have lost significant value, costing supporters an estimated $7 billion.
The Trump family reportedly cashed out $1.9 billion from these ventures while supporters faced heavy losses.

Truth Social is launching a paid API for Wall Street firms to access real-time posts from Donald Trump and other top accounts, aimed at monetizing market-moving content.
Trump's posts on Truth Social have previously influenced stock, oil, and cryptocurrency markets, with algorithms using faster data for trading profits.
This move adds to Trump Media's revenue streams amid criticism of conflicts of interest, as Trump profits from business ventures tied to his presidency.

Trump Media plans to charge for high-speed access to Truth Social posts, allowing Wall Street firms to profit from early market-moving information.
Critics label the new service, Truth PSI, as exploitation of the presidency for personal gain, given Trump's role as top poster and major shareholder.
Trump uses Truth Social to announce decisions affecting markets, such as posts on Iran and tariffs, which can influence oil prices and inflation.
