The Trumps Made $1.4B in Crypto via USD1 and Went Nowhere, Net Worth Stays Flat

In any other portfolio, a billion-dollar hit in twelve months would be a victory lap. But in the Trump ecosystem, the $1.4 billion generated from WLFI and USD1 is merely filling the crater left by a collapsing social media valuation.

According to a Bloomberg report this week, President Donald Trump and his family added roughly $1.4 billion in crypto-related wealth over the past year through a cluster of digital asset ventures tied to World Liberty Financial and the president’s official memecoin. The gains were accumulated during Trump’s first year back in office and now account for about 20% of the family’s estimated wealth, Bloomberg said.

The family’s overall net worth remained static at $6.8 billion, however, as the gains were neutralized by a decline in the value of Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. The calculation does not include an estimated $3.8 billion in locked WLFI founder tokens still held by the family.

The WLFI token launched in September 2025 at approximately $0.30, with the family’s position once exceeding $5 billion at its peak valuation. The token currently trades at $0.16.

Trump-Linked USD1 Crypto Expansion Accelerates in 2026

The flat net worth reading comes as World Liberty Financial and Trump-affiliated entities continue to widen their presence across digital asset markets in early 2026. On Jan. 7, an affiliate called WLTC Holdings LLC filed a de novo application with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to establish a national trust bank focused on issuing, custodying, and converting the USD1 stablecoin, according to a statement.

Five days later, the project launched World Liberty Markets, a Dolomite-powered lending platform. The platform permits users to supply USD1 or post collateral including ether, USDC, and tokenized bitcoin to access on-chain credit. This move into crypto credit coincided with USD1 surpassing a $3.4 billion market capitalization, ranking it among the top ten dollar-backed stablecoins.

Separately, the protocol secured a sovereign partnership on January 14, signing a memorandum of understanding with Pakistan’s Ministry of Finance to explore integrating USD1 for cross-border payments. On January 22, World Liberty entered into a token-swap partnership with Spacecoin to examine DeFi applications over satellite internet networks.

While these ventures scale, President Trump stated Wednesday at the World Economic Forum in Davos that he intends to sign a crypto market structure bill "very soon," while Trump Media (DJT) prepares for a February 2 record date for its upcoming shareholder rewards token minted by Crypto.com.

The primary obstacle to final passage concerns stablecoin rewards. Banking associations, including the American Bankers Association, contend that the current framework under the GENIUS Act creates an uneven regulatory field. They argue that allowing third-party crypto platforms to distribute yield on stablecoin holdings, a practice from which regulated issuers themselves are barred, could incentivize a migration of deposits away from community banks, potentially undermining their lending capacity.
