The Trump family made $1.4 billion from crypto. Retail investors lost money on $TRUMP.



A look at the 927-page financial disclosure reveals: meme coin brand licensing fees, WLF token sales, project equity. It wasn't earned through trading—it was renting out his name for others to issue coins.

Saylor lost $14 billion on BTC, at least using his own money. The Trump family made $1.4 billion with zero risk exposure—the brand licensing fees were prepaid, and the coin's price fluctuations have nothing to do with him.

Web3 has been shouting "eliminate intermediaries" for ten years, yet in 2026 the biggest intermediary is the U.S. President. You don't hold BTC, you hold the beta of the Trump brand.

When the regulator is also the biggest beneficiary of the regulated, the question you should ask is not "Will BTC go up?", but "Who wrote the rules?"
TRUMP-2.63%
MEME-6.45%
BTC0.43%
