Trump-Linked Crypto Projects Haemorrhage Billions

Five cryptocurrency projects linked to former US President Donald Trump have accumulated massive losses for their investors. The largest share of these losses comes from the 'TRUMP' memecoin, which has resulted in at least $3.2 billion in unrealized losses and $400 million in realized losses since its launch three days before Trump's inauguration. This token plummeted from a peak of $73.43 to $2.73.

Another project, World Liberty Financial (WLFI), has added at least $1 billion in losses, with AI Financial Corp reporting $1.04 billion in unrealized depreciation after investing $1.46 billion in WLFI tokens in August 2025. The token has since declined by a staggering 91%, falling from $7.04 to $0.642.

The Trump Media project also reports an estimated $450 million unrealized loss on its 9,477 bitcoins, which were purchased for approximately $1 billion and are currently valued at around $557 million.
