US President Donald Trump has deepened his ties to the cryptocurrency sector, with digital assets, including Bitcoin, now forming a substantial portion of his personal fortune.

According to a new Forbes report, crypto-linked assets make up around 60% of Trump’s estimated $5.5 billion net worth.

45% of Trump’s Wealth is tied to Bitcoin

This development stems in part from the rising value of Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), the company behind Truth Social.

Forbes pointed out that while the platform remains relatively small in terms of user base, its public valuation has surged to $5.7 billion.

Market observers noted that the increase is tied to Trump’s political brand and the company’s recent decision to acquire Bitcoin for its corporate treasury.

Notably, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently approved a registration linked to TMTG’s $2.3 billion Bitcoin acquisition plan.

Considering Trump owns a $2.4 billion stake in TMTG, this makes the company’s success a cornerstone of his wealth.

So, with the firm now heavily aligned with Bitcoin, nearly half of Trump’s personal fortune is riding on the long-term success of the world’s leading cryptocurrency.

Other Crypto Earnings

Meanwhile, Trump’s crypto exposure doesn’t end with TMTG.

His 2024 financial disclosures revealed a $57 million gain from his stake in World Liberty Financial, a DeFi venture that recently launched the USD1 stablecoin.

That stake also includes over 15 billion governance tokens, underscoring his direct participation in decentralized platforms.

Additionally, Trump earned approximately $1.2 million from his several NFT licensing deals last year.

However, income from the newly launched TRUMP meme coin, which was released in early 2025, was not disclosed. Still, the filings suggest his crypto revenue continues to grow.

The president’s expanding crypto portfolio has drawn both praise and skepticism.

Some in the digital asset community interpret his moves as a bullish signal for mainstream adoption. Others see it as a strategic financial play disguised as political alignment.

Nevertheless, these numbers show that Trump’s crypto investments are no longer peripheral. They now serve as a central pillar of his financial portfolio, underscoring a personal bet on the long-term future of digital assets.
