After Trump's Re-election as President of the United States, Family's Crypto Empire Rakes in $2.3 Billion
NEW YORK, June 9 (Reuters) – A Reuters investigation has uncovered that since Donald Trump returned to the U.S. presidency, his family’s cryptocurrency projects have generated at least $2.3 billion in profits from investors. Conversely, more than 1 million investors have suffered roughly $2.3 billion in net collective losses as of the end of April, according to the findings.
These investors span two key groups: retail investors who bought cryptocurrency and related stocks directly, and those with indirect exposure to Trump-related crypto assets via ETFs and other investment vehicles. The total loss figure also includes unrealized losses on unsold assets.
The analysis linking the Trump family’s crypto returns to investor losses draws on blockchain transaction records, thousands of pages of corporate documents, public disclosures from Trump-linked businesses, statements from Trump family members and project executives, plus interviews with multiple industry insiders.
