June 9, Fineko/abc.az. U.S. President Donald Trump and his sons have added at least USD 2.3 billion to their family wealth through cryptocurrency ventures with minimal personal financial risk, while the investors they persuaded suffered an equivalent USD 2.3 billion in net losses.
ABC.AZ reports that this was revealed in an extensive investigation by Reuters, based on blockchain records, corporate filings, and interviews with industry experts.
Key Highlights of the Investigation:
The Same Playbook: Promoted heavily by the president's eldest sons, Eric and Donald Trump Jr., four primary crypto initiatives follow the exact same pattern: the $TRUMP meme coin, the flagship World Liberty Financial, American Bitcoin, and AI Financial Corp. The family generated massive returns as buyers rushed in, but retail investors faced severe losses when the asset prices subsequently crashed.
Flagship Earnings: The primary project, World Liberty Financial, alone generated over USD 1.4 billion for the Trump family from the sale of governance tokens, the value of which has since plummeted.
Market Dominance: Since the November 2024 elections, the Trump family has captured a massive share of the crypto token market, securing more crypto profits than any publicly traded company in the United States. According to the report, over a million retail investors suffered net losses by late April, with many admitting they invested strictly based on Trump’s political status.
