According to Bloomberg, the family of the U.S. president Donald Trump generated about $1.3 billion in income from two crypto ventures. World Liberty Financial contributed $670 million through the listing of its WLFI token, while American Bitcoin Corp. brought in more than $500 million after its market debut. These rapid gains are comparable to the value of the family’s real estate holdings.
World Liberty Financial, founded by the Trumps less than a year ago, opened public trading of its token in early September. That move brought the family $670 million. The deal with ALT5 Sigma also envisions additional proceeds, including $750 million in equity tokens and the same amount in cash. Bloomberg analysts estimate the combined benefit at $670 million. Depending on subsequent terms, income could rise further as interest in WLFI continues to grow.
American Bitcoin Corp. launched in March with a focus on Bitcoin mining. After its September debut on Nasdaq, the shares jumped. Bloomberg reports that Eric Trump’s stake in the company surged in value to more than $500 million.
Crypto Assets Outpace Traditional Holdings
The Trump family’s net worth now stands at $7.7 billion by the outlet’s estimate. This figure includes crypto income but excludes roughly $4 billion in tokens that remain locked and are not yet available for trading. The swift appreciation builds on traditional businesses, from real estate to entertainment, and shows how crypto can elevate the family’s wealth to a new level.
In a conversation with Bloomberg, World Liberty Financial cofounder Eric Trump mentioned the prospect of tokenizing real estate. Investor Warren Hui said the idea involves creating digital counterparts to physical properties and has already been discussed among participants in the ALT5 Sigma transaction.
Both ventures operate at the intersection of digital assets and public markets. Similar to Michael Saylor’s Strategy approach, these instruments create steady demand for volatile assets. Unlike earlier periods when crypto faced heavier regulatory pressure, WLFI and American Bitcoin used public channels to scale revenue.
In his Bloomberg interview, Eric Trump said he puts significant weight on his image as a crypto supporter. He acknowledged that he is dedicating substantial time to the projects and wants to become an industry ambassador.
