Trump to reap billions from crypto investments
Cryptocurrencies are increasingly becoming a popular means of wealth accumulation. US President Donald Trump could earn as much as $6.4 billion from crypto-related ventures over the next four years, according to The New Yorker.
Earlier, The New Yorker analyzed the income sources of the White House leader and concluded that two of Trump’s companies, Trump Media & Technology Group and CIC Digital, are the main beneficiaries of the boom in digital assets.
As for Trump Media & Technology Group, it raised more than $2.3 billion to purchase Bitcoin in 2025. The company now holds BTC worth $3.1 billion. Given the number of company shares owned by Trump, he is entitled to coins valued at around $1.3 billion. By the end of his presidential term in 2029, this amount could grow to $3 billion, driven by a likely rise in Bitcoin prices and large-scale investments in digital assets. Moreover, the president is expected to leverage earnings from managing stakes in crypto ETFs, which US authorities plan to launch.
Besides, Trump’s company CIC Digital earned $385 million this year thanks to the memecoins OFFICIAL TRUMP (TRUMP) and Official Melania (MELANIA). The firm cashed in during token sales and retained part of the fees that traders pay for memecoin transactions on the small exchange Meteora and other platforms. By January 2029, CIC Digital’s revenue from TRUMP and MELANIA token sales and trading fees is projected to reach an impressive $3.4 billion, which would flow directly into the US president’s pocket.
