Trump Family Crypto Investments Take a Downward Spiral

The Trump family's foray into the crypto market has been marked by significant declines in value, sparking concerns about their business practices. At the center of this controversy are several companies backed by the Trumps, including World Liberty Financial (WLFI) and American Bitcoin Corp. (NASDAQ: ABTC).

WLFI was launched by Eric Trump and his partner Steve Witkoff during the 2025 market boom, raising $550 million in initial token sales that eventually ballooned to $1.2 billion. The company's token has taken a major hit, dropping by over 76% from its peak of $0.33 in September 2025. Recent reports suggest up to 80% losses amid controversies surrounding token unlocks and collateral use.

American Bitcoin Corp., also backed by Eric Trump, has faced similar challenges. The company's stock has crashed by 94% following a $59 million deficit in the last quarter of 2025. Despite promoting his mining firm on social media, Eric may be forced to sell off his BTC stash to continue operations or settle the company's losses.

The Trump family's crypto ventures have collectively suffered significant losses, raising questions about their business acumen and management practices. While some experts point to market fluctuations as the primary cause of these declines, others argue that the Trumps' involvement may be contributing to the problem.
