On January 19, the coin reportedly peaked at around $82, briefly making Trump one of the top 25 richest people in the world. According to The New Yorker and the Financial Times, he profited an estimated $350 million to $400 million. It’s unclear exactly how much $TRUMP he still holds, but some estimates assume it could be worth billions.

Analysts at the Financial Times noted that millions of dollars’ worth of the MELANIA meme token were bought minutes before the launch. An investigation reported details of these purchases and estimated the combined profits at $99.6 million.

World Liberty Financial – $1 Billion

USD1 – $100 Million
In March, World Liberty Financial announced its stablecoin, $USD1. The stablecoin is designed to maintain a fixed value equivalent to the U.S. dollar on a 1:1 basis. Stablecoin issuers can earn money by investing reserves in U.S. Treasury bills and profiting from the interest. USD1 is used in crypto trading and transactions.
Speaking at a crypto conference in Dubai, Zach Witkoff, a co-founder of World Liberty, said USD1 would be used to close the $2 billion investment by Abu Dhabi-based MGX into Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange.
“We are excited to announce today that USD1 has been selected as the official stablecoin to close MGX’s $2 billion investment in Binance,” said Witkoff, who is the son of Trump’s special envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff.
In October, Trump pardoned Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, who had been convicted on money-laundering charges and sentenced to four months in prison.
Trump is positioned to benefit from interest earned on the Treasury-backed reserves supporting $USD1. With roughly $3.4 billion of USD1 in circulation, that level of reserves could generate on the order of tens of millions to around $100 million per year in interest, depending on prevailing Treasury yields and the reserve mix.
Royalties – $9.3 Million
Just before he was sworn in, Trump rolled out several new licensing ventures. Last year, he earned millions from products like Bibles, watches, guitars, books, fragrances, and other branded items.
