Trump’s Billion-Dollar Wealth Drop Amid TMTG Slump And Crypto Volatility

Trump’s Net Worth Drops by Over $1 Billion

Recent data on billionaire assets shows that former U.S. President Donald Trump’s personal net worth has fallen by roughly $1.1 billion since September. This reduces his total wealth from $7.3 billion to $6.2 billion. This sharp decline is mainly attributed to the significant drop in shares of his family’s tech company, Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG).

TMTG Shares Hit All-Time Low

This week, TMTG (Ticker: DJT) stock traded at approximately $10.18, nearing its historic low. The recent sell-off in Bitcoin and other leading cryptocurrencies triggered similar selling pressure in tech and crypto assets closely linked to Trump.

Back in September, Trump’s net worth actually surged by $3 billion in a single year. This advance moved him up 118 spots on the Forbes 400 list—a major highlight in the rankings.

Crypto Investments Fuel Wealth Growth

Trump and his family’s aggressive expansion into the crypto industry partly drove his previous wealth increase. This included the launch of the crypto financial platform World Liberty Financial (WLFI) in September 2024, which received a $75 million investment from crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun, which significantly increased the brand’s visibility.

WLFI Token Allocation

At launch, World Liberty Financial issued 100 billion WLFI tokens, with 22.5 billion held by DT Marks DEFI LLC, where Trump owns a 70% stake, making this Trump’s largest position in the crypto space. Per official policy, tokens held by founders and the team are subject to a delayed unlock schedule, preventing Trump from selling WLFI in the short term. As a result, market volatility won’t immediately translate into realized gains.

Summary

Trump’s shrinking net worth is closely tied to the volatility of his tech and crypto holdings, including TMTG’s declining share price and WLFI’s price decline, both of which intensified the decline in his net worth. Because the tokens remain locked, the value of Trump’s crypto portfolio is unrealized. Key factors influencing future changes include overall market trends, the development of the TMTG platform, and whether the WLFI ecosystem can achieve further growth. All of these will play a central role in tracking changes in Trump’s wealth.
