The US President Donald Trump has strengthened his relationship with cryptocurrency, with digital assets, including Bitcoin, now occupying a significant portion of his personal assets.

According to a new report from Forbes, cryptocurrency-related assets account for approximately 60% of Trump's estimated net worth of $5.5 billion.

This development partly stems from the increased value of Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), the company behind Truth Social.

Forbes points out that although this platform remains small in user numbers, its public value has skyrocketed to $5.7 billion.

Market observers note that this increase is tied to Trump's political brand and the company's recent decision to buy Bitcoin for the company treasury.

Notably, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently approved a registration related to TMTG's $2.3 billion Bitcoin purchase plan.

Given that Trump owns $2.4 billion in TMTG shares, this makes the company's success the foundation of his assets.

Therefore, with the company now closely tied to Bitcoin, nearly half of Trump's personal assets now depend on the long-term success of the world's leading cryptocurrency.

Other Crypto Income

Meanwhile, Trump's exposure to cryptocurrency does not stop at TMTG.

His 2024 financial disclosures show a $57 million profit from his stake in World Liberty Financial, a DeFi project that recently launched the USD1 stablecoin.

That stake also includes over 15 billion Governance Tokens, emphasizing his direct participation in decentralized platforms.

Additionally, Trump earned around $1.2 million from NFT licensing deals last year.

However, income from the TRUMP meme coin launched early in 2025 has not been disclosed. Nevertheless, records show his cryptocurrency revenue continues to increase.

His increasingly expanding cryptocurrency investment portfolio has attracted both praise and skepticism.

Some in the digital asset community see his move as a positive signal for widespread adoption. Others view it as a financial strategy disguised as a political connection.

However, these numbers show that Trump's cryptocurrency investments are no longer secondary. They now serve as a primary pillar in his financial portfolio, emphasizing a personal bet on the long-term future of digital assets.
