The Trump family’s wealth has taken a steep hit, dropping by more than $1 billion in just a few months, largely because of heavy losses in their cryptocurrency and meme-coin investments. The latest Bloomberg Billionaires Index shows their net worth slipping from around $7.7 billion in early September to about $6.7 billion now.
According to Bloomberg’s analysis, much of this fall is tied to the sharp decline in high-risk digital assets linked to the Trump name. The family’s crypto exposure has erased nearly $1.1 billion (over ₹9,800 crore) from their fortune. This comes after their wealth had surged by about $5 billion in September when trading began on World Liberty Financial (WLFI), their crypto venture.
Major Losses in Trump-Branded Crypto Projects
The Trump-branded memecoin ($TRUMP) has lost nearly 25 per cent of its value in recent months. Eric Trump’s stake in a Bitcoin-mining company has also fallen sharply, losing almost half its value from its peak.
Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), the parent company of Truth Social, has not been spared either. The firm, which earlier announced plans to build a crypto treasury, has seen its share price fall to record lows. Donald Trump’s own stake in TMTG has dropped by about $800 million since September. He remains the company’s largest shareholder through a trust managed by Donald Trump Jr.
Reports say that not only the Trump family but also investors who bought into their crypto ventures are suffering heavy losses. For example, people who purchased Trump’s meme coin at its January peak have seen almost all of their investment wiped out.
Eric Trump Calls It ‘A Great Buying Opportunity’
Despite the downturn, Eric Trump remains optimistic. He told Bloomberg News: “What a great buying opportunity… People who buy dips and embrace volatility will be the ultimate winners. I have never been more bullish on the future of cryptocurrency and the modernisation of the financial system.”
Crypto Once Surpassed Trump Real Estate Value
Earlier this year, the Wall Street Journal reported that cryptocurrency holdings had become more valuable than the Trump family’s real-estate empire. The launch of WLFI alone briefly added about $5 billion to their wealth.
However, Bloomberg now reports a sharp reversal. Some WLFI tokens are locked and cannot be traded, but their reported value has fallen from a high of $6 billion to around $3.15 billion.
Eric Trump’s Own Stakes Hit Hard
Eric Trump also faces large personal losses. His 7.5 per cent stake in American Bitcoin Corp has dropped significantly as the company’s shares have plunged more than 50 per cent since September. This fall has wiped out over $300 million from the family’s net worth. Early investors in the company are estimated to be sitting on losses of about 45 per cent.
The downturn reflects the volatility of the crypto market, which has shed nearly $1 trillion in value during the same period. While the Trump family earned billions during the crypto boom, the latest slump shows how quickly digital-asset wealth can disappear.
