Trump Family Lands $500M from Cryptocurrency Deal, But Company Faces Collapse

The cryptocurrency market has been known to be unpredictable and volatile, but few deals have had as dramatic a fall as that of AI Financial Corp. In August 2025, the company bought $1.5 billion worth of tokens from World Liberty Financial, a crypto venture linked to the Trump family.

As part of the deal, the Trump family stood to gain 75% of the proceeds from token sales. Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump celebrated the deal on social media, but their enthusiasm was short-lived.

A month after the deal, AI Financial Corp's share price had crashed by 90%, wiping out nearly $1 billion in value. The company has been plagued with financial issues since then, including a change of three CEOs and outside auditors.
