Expanded Trump Family Fortune in World Liberty Cryptocurrency Surges to $6 Billion Mark

In a notable development in the world of decentralized finance, President Donald Trump and his family members have a substantial stake in World Liberty Financial's (WLFI) Ethereum token.

As of current circulation, there are approximately 24.7 billion WLFI tokens in circulation, with a total supply of 100 billion. The Trumps collectively own 22.5 billion WLFI tokens, now worth approximately $5.96 billion, following a recent surge in the token's price.

The tokens are owned by an entity affiliated with the president and certain family members, although the specific identities of all individual family members are not fully disclosed in public disclosures. This entity, DT Marks DEFI LLC, also holds the tokens on behalf of the family members.

The WLFI tokens were initially sold to investors for 1.5 cents a token in the fall of 2020, and then for 5 cents a token during a second round of fundraising. The market debut of WLFI gave the project a valuation above $26 billion, even though the DeFi platform itself has not yet launched.

In a disclosure filed in June, the president revealed that he pocketed $57 million from World Liberty in 2024. Earlier this year, Trump and his family netted hundreds of millions of dollars from initial sales of WLFI to investors. The vesting schedule for these locked tokens has not yet been determined.

World Liberty Financial is a decentralized finance project that aims to connect non-tech savvy retail consumers with the world of self-custodied crypto transactions. The project has also launched its own stablecoin but has yet to launch its platform.

The value of the Trumps' WLFI holdings is poised to be far higher in 2025, as the price of the token has slipped to roughly $0.26 at writing but recently launched trading capability this morning with the token's price set at just over $0.30.

In addition to WLFI, the Trumps have also seen increases in their net worth through other crypto projects, including a Trump meme coin. The exact family members involved in the World Liberty Financial (WLFI) token are Donald Trump and his three sons: Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and Barron Trump.
