Trump’s crypto fortune, now highlighted by $870 million in bitcoin holdings, has made international headlines in 2025. Recent disclosures show President Donald Trump holding a massive indirect stake in bitcoin, cementing his status as one of the largest BTC investors globally. This revelation not only shifts the global cryptocurrency landscape but also signals increasing institutional involvement from the world’s most influential figures.
Trump’s Path to Crypto Riches
President Trump’s foray into crypto began with significant investments spearheaded by Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), which owns Truth Social. In July 2025, TMTG purchased about $2 billion in bitcoin after raising capital through debt and stock sales, reducing Trump’s personal stake in the company to 41%. Trump’s crypto fortune is calculated based on this indirect ownership, with his share now estimated at $870 million in BTC.
Interestingly, this bitcoin exposure is absent from Trump’s official financial disclosures, as the holdings are through the company rather than his personal accounts. With bitcoin prices rising about 6% since TMTG’s investment, Trump’s crypto fortune has grown alongside broader market recovery.
Bitcoin Holdings Make History
International financial media, including Forbes and Binance, have spotlighted Trump’s crypto fortune, which eclipses the value of some of his most famous real estate holdings. Reports estimate his crypto assets contribute more to his liquid wealth than traditional assets like Mar-a-Lago and Trump Tower.
This hidden fortune has, as noted by crypto analyst @coinbureau, “catapulted Trump to the top tier of bitcoin holders, outpacing most private and institutional investors.”
Coin Bureau (@coinbureau): “Barron Trump has reportedly made about $80 million from his Bitcoin and crypto investments, as per Forbes.”

Trump’s cryptocurrency journey is also reshaping public perceptions and market trends. The president’s past remarks calling bitcoin “highly volatile and based on thin air” have given way to direct participation, illustrated by images of a golden statue of Trump holding a bitcoin outside the US Capitol.
