Bloomberg: The Trump family has seen their wealth increase by $1.3 billion thanks to WLFI and mining company ABTC.

The Trump family recently earned about 1.3 billion dollars in just a few weeks through two encryption projects established less than a year ago. This astonishing revenue comes from the encryption project World Liberty Financial and the Bitcoin mining company American Bitcoin Corp., raising the family's total assets to 7.7 billion dollars.

The encryption project WLFI allowed the Trump family to earn nearly 670 million dollars.

Trump's three sons (Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, Barron Trump) together with American billionaire and real estate developer Steve Witkoff and his son established the encryption project World Liberty Financial (WLFI) in September 2024.

Initially, the project token WLFI could only be used for voting, until the WLFI team reached an agreement with the Las Vegas publicly traded company Alt5 Sigma in August of this year, which promised to purchase $1.5 billion worth of WLFI tokens. This collaboration brought a net worth increase of $670 million to the Trump family.

On September 1, WLFI officially opened for trading. The Trump family holds 22.5 billion WLFI, with a book valuation of about 4 billion USD, but this portion is still in a "lock-up" state and cannot be liquidated at the moment.

The family mining company ABTC went public and surged, Eric Trump earned 540 million dollars.

After Trump took office as President of the United States, Donald Trump Jr and Eric Trump established the Bitcoin mining company American Bitcoin in March of this year, with equipment provided by the US-listed mining company Hut 8 Corp.

Subsequently, on 9/3, American Bitcoin went public through a reverse merger and was renamed American Bitcoin Corp. (ABTC). On the day of its listing, ABTC rose over 16%. Eric Trump owns about 7.5% of the company, which is valued at approximately 540 million dollars based on the closing price of 8.04 dollars on that day.

1.3 billion dollars is still not enough, the family is preparing to enter the "real estate tokenization".

According to Bloomberg, the Trump family has accumulated wealth through encryption projects at a pace that far exceeds the traditional business model of relying on real estate and resorts such as Trump Tower and Mar-a-Lago. Estimates show that these two major encryption projects have brought the family approximately $1.3 billion in wealth in just a few weeks.

At the same time, sources have revealed that the Trump family is considering tokenizing real estate. It is said that Eric Trump has even begun preparing a presentation, combining his own experience in hotel and real estate investments to attract investors' favor.
