The Trump family has added nearly $1.3 billion in crypto wealth through stakes in WLFI and American Bitcoin. The family is now exploring real estate tokenization as their next move in the blockchain space.
Trump Family Crypto Fortune Grows, Tokenized Real Estate in Sight
According to Bloomberg, the Trump family has added roughly $1.3 billion in wealth through crypto-focused initiatives. Bloomberg’s Billionaires Index now places their total fortune at $7.7 billion, with digital assets playing an increasingly central role.
A large portion of this gain came from WLFI, co-founded by Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and Barron Trump last year. The Trump family launched its WLFI token on September 1 with a $7 billion market cap. Bloomberg estimates this move added $670 million to the Trumps’ collective net worth.
Eric Trump also saw significant gains through American Bitcoin (ABTC), a mining venture created in March. Eric Trump holds around 7.5% of the company. His stake reached nearly $1 billion at its peak following ABTC’s stock market debut on September 3. Donald Trump Jr. also maintains a smaller, undisclosed share.
Beyond its tokens, the Trumps are already exploring real estate tokenization. According to Warren Hui of Soul Ventures, Eric Trump and his team have floated the idea of digitizing physical property assets. The plan would effectively create tradeable blockchain-based proxies for real-world real estate. This could potentially transform how the family’s signature industry intersects with crypto.
“We had confidence when we talked to Eric Trump, from his experience with hospitality and real estate,” Hui noted, underscoring the family’s property background.
WLFI and American Bitcoin’s Growing Expansion
World Liberty Financial wasted no time positioning itself among major players. World Liberty secured a $1.5 billion funding initiative led by Nasdaq-listed ALT5 Sigma. This WLFI Treasury Strategy is designed to bolster digital asset reserves and guarantee long-term balance sheet stability.
With over 24 billion tokens in circulation, WLFI is already listed on major exchanges like Binance. The Trump family’s own allocation of 22.5 billion tokens remains restricted, meaning they cannot yet convert those holdings into liquid wealth.
While WLFI gained attention through its token launch, American Bitcoin is gaining traction as well. Backed by Eric and Donald Trump Jr., the company was formed shortly after Donald Trump’s inauguration to focus on Bitcoin mining.
In exchange for a majority ownership stake, the company also made an agreement with Hut 8 Corp., which supplied hardware. American Bitcoin went public after merging with Gryphon Digital Mining, changing its name to American Bitcoin Corp. It is now traded under the ticker symbol ABTC.
The speed at which these events are occurring demonstrates how swiftly the Trump family has shifted from conventional real estate to online finance. American Bitcoin and WLFI have already generated wealth comparable to that of the Trump Tower and Mar-a-Lago, which have long been regarded as the family’s crown jewels.
