$4.7B Lost: Trump-Linked Crypto Products Leave Investors Underwater

A recent report by Public Citizen estimates that Trump-linked crypto products have left investors at least $4.7 billion underwater.

The figure covers five products, including the $TRUMP meme coin, World Liberty Financial's $WLFI governance token, USD1, and Trump Media & Technology Group's digital-asset treasury.

The largest estimated loss comes from the $TRUMP meme coin, launched in January 2025 shortly before Trump's inauguration. Public Citizen estimates investors who bought the token and remain underwater have suffered roughly $3.2 billion in largely unrealized losses.

Trump has reportedly earned approximately $635 million from fees for the meme coin venture, while his holdings were valued at about $271 million when it was analyzed.
