Donald Trump family earns $2.3 billion from crypto ventures

A Reuters investigation found that former President Donald Trump and his family pocketed at least $2.3 billion from a series of cryptocurrency projects. The most prominent of these was the $TRUMP meme coin, launched in January 2025. Investors poured roughly $1.2 billion into the token, of which the family‑linked companies CIC Digital LLC and Fight Fight Fight LLC retained 80% of the supply. The token generated about $616 million for the Trump entities while public buyers saw their holdings shrink from a peak price of $75.35 to around $2.38, a loss of more than $700 million and a 97% collapse.

The profit figure includes other crypto activities reported to have produced similar gains for the Trump family, contrasting sharply with comparable losses suffered by retail investors. The investigation arrived amid broader market turbulence, including the near‑total collapse of the SIREN token, underscoring regulatory scrutiny of high‑profile involvement in digital assets.
