Trump family and crypto team linked to billions in profits and investor losses
Investigations into cryptocurrency ventures associated with Donald Trump and his family reveal a significant disparity between family profits and investor losses. A Reuters investigation estimated that the Trump family generated at least $2.3 billion in profits from four crypto ventures, while more than one million investors suffered combined realized and unrealized losses of approximately $2.3 billion as of April 30, 2026.
Specific scrutiny has fallen on the ‘Official Trump’ (TRUMP) meme coin. On-chain analyst Ki Young Ju of CryptoQuant reported that the team behind the token extracted between $779.4 million and $1.16 billion from buyers between January 2025 and October 2026. The TRUMP token has seen a price decline of approximately 97% from its January 2025 all-time high of $73 to roughly $1.80 by October 2026.
Other analyses provide different metrics: EmberCN reported that team-linked wallets sent approximately $249 million worth of TRUMP tokens to exchanges like Binance and OKX. Additionally, Reuters previously estimated the Trump family’s specific take from the TRUMP coin at approximately $616 million out of $1.2 billion in total revenue generated by the coin.
