Foreign media report that the Trump family has collectively received at least $2.3 billion from four major crypto businesses, with external investors estimating losses approaching a similar scale. Citing blockchain records, corporate documents, and investor interviews, the report once again brings to light the revenues generated by political branding, token sales, and public listings.
World Liberty Financial contributed the most.
World Liberty Financial is considered the largest source of cryptocurrency income for the Trump family. Reports estimate that the project generated over $1.6 billion in revenue for the family, primarily from governance token sales. The project began selling tokens in October 2024, with early buyers paying 1.5 or 5 cents to obtain limited voting rights but no entitlement to company profits.
The project structure shows that 75% of the token sale proceeds went to DT Marks DEFI LLC, associated with the Trump family. The report also stated that, as of April 30, investors related to the World Liberty token had suffered losses of approximately $674 million. The token once rose to 46 cents before falling back to around 6 cents, a decline of 87% from its peak.
$TRUMP token and public company trading
The $TRUMP meme coin is also a significant source of revenue. Launched in January 2025, the token briefly surged to $75.35 before sharply declining. Reports estimate that the coin generated approximately $616 million for the Trump family, while buyers incurred losses exceeding $700 million.
AI Financial Corp. (formerly ALT5 Sigma) and American Bitcoin are also included in the statistics. The former raised $750 million in August 2025 and used $717 million of those funds to purchase World Liberty tokens. The latter entered the public market through transactions involving Hut 8’s mining operations and American Data Centers, with its stock price declining significantly after listing.
Warren calls for enhanced scrutiny
Senator Elizabeth Warren has become one of the most vocal critics, demanding that SEC Chairman Paul Atkins investigate whether World Liberty misled investors in a $75 million loan arrangement backed by its own tokens. She has also opposed several cryptocurrency bills, arguing that the current drafts are insufficient to prevent sitting officials and their families from profiting from the industry.
The White House denied any conflict of interest, and World Liberty stated that it is a private fintech company with the right to conduct business. The report shows that the controversy has expanded from issues of family wealth to matters involving stablecoins, token sales, and the regulatory boundaries of digital assets.
