$4.7B Trump Crypto Venture Losses Leave Investors 'Underwater'
US President Donald Trump's crypto ventures have left investors at least $4.7 billion underwater, according to a report by Public Citizen. The losses stem from five Trump-linked products, including the Official Trump memecoin ($TRUMP) and World Liberty Financial's $WLFI governance token.
The majority of the total loss came from $TRUMP, which put buyers $3.2 billion underwater. World Liberty Financial's $WLFI token accounted for at least $1 billion in losses. Trump Media's digital-asset treasury produced an estimated $450 million loss for shareholders.
Trump received over $635 million in licensing fees tied to the $TRUMP memecoin, while he earned around $527 million from $WLFI token sales in 2025.
