Trumps Make Bank Off Crypto as Investors Lose Their Shirts
Trump-linked tokens have generated billions for family before tanking

People who bought into the Trump-branded crypto boom have, on paper, largely bought into a bust. Reuters reports that four Trump family ventures in digital assets have together produced at least $2.3 billion in profit for the Trumps since President Trump returned to the White House—while more than a million investors collectively show roughly the same amount in losses. The ventures include World Liberty Financial, two Trump-promoted Nasdaq companies (ALT5 Sigma, now AI Financial, and American Bitcoin), and the $TRUMP meme coin.

Across them, Reuters finds a common pattern: the Trumps put in little or no capital, heavily promote the product, collect rich licensing or revenue shares, and exit with gains as prices sink.
