A Look At Donald Trump’s Crypto Portfolio

This move follows significant turbulence in Trump’s cryptocurrency portfolio since the start of his second term as U.S. president. Over the past week, his crypto wealth has experienced a sharp decline of more than 60%.

The official Trump memecoin, launched on January 17, has seen its value plummet by over 64% from its all-time high recorded on January 20. The memecoin, which previously boosted Trump’s wealth by $55 billion, has now reduced his crypto fortune to just over $20 billion—a $30 billion loss in a single week.

The downturn also affected Trump’s personal crypto holdings, which include donated tokens. These holdings have now dropped below $5 million, reflecting the ongoing volatility in his crypto investments.

The Trump memecoin initially gained massive attention upon its debut but has faced continuous losses, including a 20% drop during the first crypto flash crash of 2025. The token’s peak valuation added $50 billion to Trump’s net worth; however, the sharp decline has significantly reduced its value.

According to the token’s official website, Trump-affiliated entities such as CIC Digital and Fight Fight Fight own 80% of the total supply. Most of these holdings remain locked and are set for gradual release over three years.

Currently, 200 million tokens are circulating, with the supply expected to expand to 1 billion by 2028. Despite its recent losses, the memecoin had surged over 28,000% since its launch, achieving a fully diluted valuation of over $80 billion at its peak.
