Trump Crypto Investors Face $4.7 Billion in Losses While Trump Books $1.4 Billion Profit

Investors in cryptocurrency projects tied to Donald Trump face at least $4.7 billion in total losses, according to a report from advocacy group Public Citizen. Roughly 1 million retail wallets that purchased the TRUMP memecoin are underwater by a combined $3.2 billion, with the token falling from its $73.43 all-time high to roughly $2.73. Trump Media's treasury holds 9,477 Bitcoin $BTC, representing $450 million in paper losses after the value of their $1.006 billion investment dropped to $557 million. Nasdaq-listed AI Financial Corp. accounts for $1.04 billion in paper losses after acquiring 7.28 billion WLFI tokens for $1.46 billion, sending its own shares down 91%. Trump himself reported at least $1.4 billion in cryptocurrency-related income for 2025, largely derived from licensing fees and zero-cost token allocations. "Trump’s tokens were allocated to his company rather than purchased, and his other income from the meme coin came via licensing fees. Neither required any capital investment from him, meaning his proceeds should be nearly all profit." — Public Citizen
