A Reuters investigation found the Trump family generated at least $2.3 billion from four crypto ventures since returning to the White House, while more than a million investors lost the same amount on the other side of those trades.
Same Playbook Across Four Ventures: Trumps Risk Nothing, Investors Lose Big Reuters examined World Liberty Financial (CRYPTO: WLFI), the TRUMP (CRYPTO: TRUMP) meme coin, American Bitcoin (NASDAQ:ABTC), and AI Financial Corp (NASDAQ:AIFC), formerly ALT5 Sigma.
In each case, the Trumps licensed the family name rather than investing their own capital, promoted the ventures through social media and public appearances, and collected revenue as investors piled in.
When prices collapsed, the family remained in profit while buyers absorbed the losses.
World Liberty Financial generated the most, funneling more than $1.4 billion in governance token sales to the Trump family through a revenue sharing arrangement that directs 75% of proceeds to a Trump-controlled entity.
