The Trump family added about $1.4 billion in crypto-linked wealth since Jan. 20, 2025 , while Trump Media & Technology Group (DJT) is trading at $14.67 (+2.81%) , after a multi-month slide that Bloomberg flagged as the main drag on the family’s balance sheet. JUST IN: Bitcoin and crypto projects now account for $1.4 BILLION of the Trump family’s $6.8B net worth (20%) — Bloomberg pic.twitter.com/X1O7GJqqu3 — Bitcoin Archive (@BitcoinArchive) January 20, 2026 The WLFI Economic Engine Bloomberg’s Tuesday tally hinges on World Liberty Financial (WLFI) economics that route cash flows to a Trump-affiliated vehicle. World Liberty’s own terms state that DT Marks DeFi, LLC and affiliates, including Donald J. Trump, received 22,500,000,000 WLFI tokens and collect 75% of net protocol revenues (and separately 75% of WLFI token sale proceeds after deductions under a service agreement). The mark-to-market swing sits in the locked paper. The report cited by The Block says the family still holds founder tokens worth roughly $3.8 billion that Bloomberg excluded from net-worth math because the tokens remain locked . A second pillar now links Trump-branded real estate to token rails. The Trump Organization and Dar Global announced on Nov. 17, 2025 , that the Trump International Hotel Maldives will tokenize the development phase, with Eric Trump calling it a “new benchmark” for tokenized real estate investment and Dar Global CEO Ziad El Chaar calling it a “global first.” The announcement targeted an end-of-2028 opening and cited ~80 villas in the initial plan. On the equity leg, Trump Media’s latest filed quarterly disclosure showed revenue sensitivity and rising costs tied to its streaming buildout. In its Form 10-Q filed Nov. 7, 2025 , DJT reported $972,900 revenue for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2025 , and cited higher content license and data center lease costs tied to Truth+. What Traders Are Watching For institutional trading desks, the current market environment represents a complex arbitrage between WLFI’s liquidity profile and broader policy-driven headline risk . The trade has evolved into a “political-beta” complex where the value of the 22.5 billion token grant and the 75% revenue-sharing agreement are inextricably linked to the administration’s regulatory posture. Analysts are particularly focused on the March 2026 unlock schedule , viewing it as a potential liquidity cliff that could re-price the entire ecosystem. Because the protocol’s governance is highly concentrated—with a small number of affiliated wallets controlling the majority of the supply—institutions treat WLFI less as a decentralized utility and more as a centralized proxy for the family’s digital brand. Consequently, DJT equity often acts as the listed vehicle for this sentiment, frequently “gapping” on news of token distributions, regulatory filings, or shifts in the protocol’s USD1 stablecoin supply . Any change in the enforcement environment or the transferability of these locked assets creates a dual-impact risk, affecting both the token float and the listed equity in a single correlated move.
