Trump's Cryptocurrency Windfall Fuels Ethics Debate
President Donald Trump's personal wealth has seen a significant surge over the past two years, with his net worth increasing from $2.2 billion in 2024 to $6.4 billion in 2026.
The growth is largely attributed to cryptocurrency, which now represents the largest share of his fortune.
Trump's introduction of the Official Trump ($TRUMP) meme coin in January 2025 contributed to his wealth increase, although its value has since dropped sharply from $15 billion to around $450 million.
The president's sons, Eric and Donald Trump Jr., manage his business interests, which Trump claims do not create conflicts of interest.
