This open revelation has made Trump and his family once again on the radar of critics. While Trump is making millions, many crypto investors believe he lost money in his pumps and dump schemes. It also raises questions regarding the political holdings of crypto assets that have not been enforced.
Here’s a quick breakdown of his crypto revenues. It will be a spectacular sight for many people!
Where did the money come from?
Trump’s revenue comes from a mix of token sales and memocoin holdings. The report claims he made $390 million before tax through the sale of tokens from World Liberty Financial, a crypto platform associated with his brand. He also won $315 million from Trump Memocoin and another $427 million from other Memocoin assets.
In addition to that, Trump is believed to hold up to $60 million in the new stubcoin from the world’s Liberty Financial, USD1. Overall, his total crypto income is estimated at $1.2 billion, with his after-tax profit of around $935 million.
Private dinner raises eyebrows
Trump’s growing involvement in Crypto attracted more attention after a private dinner at a golf club near Washington, D.C. on May 22. The event was attended by top 220 card token owners. Among them was the largest owner, Tron founder Justin Sun, who was reportedly worth $18 million at the time.
Sun has also invested $93 million in Trump-related crypto projects. This includes $75 million in attendance at World Liberty Financial. His presence has sparked concerns about possible foreign influence, especially given Trump’s ongoing 2024 presidential campaign.
Critics question ethics, but profits speak loudly
The scale of Trump’s crypto revenues raised questions about transparency and ethics. Critics warn that massive foreign investment in ventures linked to presidential candidates could present serious risks.
Anthony Scarumucci, an investor and former White House official, highlighted the growing inequality within Trump’s crypto venture. Citing data from Chain Orisis, he pointed out that 58 wallets earn more than $10 million each from Trump’s Memecoin, earning a total of $1.1 billion, while roughly 764,000 wallets held primarily by small investors are red.
Scaramucci also pointed to the exclusive nature of Trump’s May 22nd event. This included private receptions and White House tours for the top 25 wallet holders, raising new concerns about insider access and favors.
