Over the past nine months, beginning slightly before the 2024 US presidential election, former President Donald Trump has significantly expanded his involvement in the cryptocurrency sector. Forbes reports that Trump has generated an estimated $1 billion from various crypto ventures, including new coins and related enterprises. His digital asset holdings have reportedly surpassed $1.2 billion, outpacing previous valuations. Trump Media, the media company associated with him, now holds $2.3 billion in Bitcoin buying power following a recent capital raise. Additionally, World Liberty Financial, a decentralized finance project linked to the Trump family, announced plans to acquire a substantial position in the $TRUMP memecoin as part of its treasury strategy. The $TRUMP token faces a $520 million unlock event, coinciding with President Trump's endorsement of a sentiment tracking theory. Trump has also hosted private dinners with top crypto investors at his golf club, further consolidating his crypto influence. Meanwhile, Democrats are increasingly engaging with the cryptocurrency industry despite internal divisions related to Trump, and have criticized the White House for what they describe as corruption tied to the president's crypto activities.
