The Trump family’s crypto-linked wealth jumped this week amid volatile trading in American Bitcoin (ABTC) and World Liberty Financial (WLFI); price spikes added roughly $1.3 billion to family holdings before double-digit retracements.
The family of United States president Donald Trump saw an estimated increase of approximately $1.3 billion in crypto-linked value this week after the trading debuts of American Bitcoin (ABTC) and World Liberty Financial (WLFI). WLFI added an estimated $670 million and Eric Trump’s stake in ABTC was valued at over $500 million at peak market prices, according to Bloomberg.
Market prices used in the calculation were taken on Wednesday, when ABTC shares briefly climbed to $14 before collapsing to as low as $6.24 during the same session. Volatility in both ABTC and WLFI contributed to large, intraday swings in the family’s reported holdings.

WLFI’s initial launch unlocked 24.6 billion tokens for trading, producing an early surge that later gave way to a decline of more than 40% from initial highs. The $1.3 billion figure does not include roughly $4 billion in WLFI tokens that remain subject to lock-up arrangements.
Excluding the locked WLFI tokens and using the market snapshot on Wednesday, the family’s collective net worth tied to these crypto assets is estimated at over $7.7 billion, as reported by the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. These estimates reflect market valuation and can swing quickly with price volatility.

What is the Trump family crypto net worth after ABTC and WLFI debuts?
Trump family crypto net worth increased by roughly $1.3 billion this week on paper after ABTC and WLFI began trading, driven by a peak valuation of Eric Trump’s ABTC stake and WLFI’s initial market spike. After rapid retracements and excluding locked WLFI tokens, the crypto-linked amount is estimated near $7.7 billion.
How did ABTC’s market debut affect the Trump family’s holdings?
ABTC’s relisting following a merger with Gryphon Digital Mining produced extreme intraday volatility. Trading halted several times as the stock rallied to $14, then plunged over 50% to the mid-$6 range. At the intraday peak, Eric Trump’s ABTC stake was valued at above $500 million; that valuation fell sharply as prices collapsed.
Why did WLFI token prices move so sharply on launch?
WLFI unlocked 24.6 billion tokens at launch, generating heavy sell-side pressure and speculative buying that produced an early spike followed by a steep decline exceeding 40%. Approximately $4 billion of WLFI holdings tied to the Trump family remain in lock-up and were excluded from the immediate $1.3 billion uplift.
