Trump Family Made $2.3B From Crypto Ventures While Investors Lost Nearly Identical Amount

According to a Reuters investigation disclosed on July 2, President Trump's family earned approximately $2.3 billion from four cryptocurrency projects while putting up little to no capital, and outside investors lost nearly the same amount across those ventures.

World Liberty Financial raised $1.4 billion through token sales, with the Trump family entitled to 75% of proceeds and holding a 60% stake. One investor, ALT5 Sigma, purchased $717 million in WLFI tokens and routed over $500 million to the family before its stock fell more than 90%. The TRUMP memecoin generated roughly $1.2 billion in revenue, with approximately $616 million flowing to the family, while retail buyers sustained over $700 million in losses.
