President Donald Trump and his family accumulated roughly $1.4 billion in crypto-related assets since Jan. 20, 2025, according to Bloomberg figures cited across multiple outlets. The amount accounts for about 20% of the family’s estimated $6.8 billion net worth. Bloomberg said, “The family’s overall net worth looks remarkably similar to last year at $6.8 billion,” adding that gains from crypto were offset by losses elsewhere.
Trump Media & Technology Group Corp., the operator of Truth Social, was identified as the main offsetting factor. Its Nasdaq-listed shares, trading under the ticker DJT, were priced around $14.67 at the time of reporting after months of decline. Bloomberg attributed the lack of overall net worth growth to “the plunging value of his social media company, Trump Media & Technology Group Corp.” The stock performance contrasted with gains tied to crypto price movements tracked by the broader crypto price index and shifts in the coin market cap.
The bulk of realized crypto proceeds, exceeding $1 billion, were attributed to World Liberty Financial, a decentralized finance project, and the president’s official memecoin. Bloomberg noted that while more than $1 billion has already been realized, remaining digital asset holdings were described as being worth “potentially billions more” on paper. The report added that the family’s expanding exposure has drawn scrutiny from critics and political rivals as crypto price volatility continues to affect valuations.
On the same day, Trump Media & Technology Group announced a formal record date for a previously disclosed digital token initiative. The company said Feb. 2, 2026, will determine which shareholders are eligible to receive the tokens. A press release confirmed the initiative involves “new digital tokens” and added that “various rewards” may be made available to eligible investors in the future.
Trump Media stated the planned tokens will not represent equity or ownership in Truth Social or any affiliated company. The firm said the tokens are not expected to be transferable, exchangeable for cash, or distributed to shareholders who are not beneficial owners. The company reiterated that the tokens are designed as a rewards mechanism rather than a financial security tied to crypto price or coin market cap movements.
Distribution details show Crypto.com is expected to mint the tokens and retain custody pending distribution, with the project potentially operating on Crypto.com’s Cronos blockchain. Trump Media described itself as a fintech-focused company closely associated with the sitting U.S. president, confirming the initiative alongside its core media operations on Jan. 20, 2026, as broader crypto price index data continued to fluctuate across the market.
