8-9-2025 – The Trump family’s collective net worth increased by $1.3 billion this week, driven by the market launches of American Bitcoin (ABTC) and World Liberty Financial (WLFI), according to Bloomberg calculations. World Liberty Financial, a DeFi protocol associated with the family, contributed $670 million to the gain after its trading debut on major exchanges Monday.
The launch released 24.6 billion WLFI tokens, sparking an initial price surge before a more than 40% drop. Separately, Eric Trump’s co-founded ABTC, a mining firm, added over $500 million following its relisting on U.S. stock exchanges Wednesday via a merger with Gryphon Digital Mining.
ABTC shares peaked at $14 but fell sharply to around $7.36, with trading halted five times due to volatility. This boost, excluding $4 billion in locked WLFI tokens, pushes the family’s total wealth above $7.7 billion on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. The president’s crypto involvement has helped legitimize the industry in the U.S., reversing years of regulatory skepticism under prior administrations. Democrats have raised concerns, however, calling the family’s ties a potential conflict of interest.
