Recent insights indicate that Donald Trump’s involvement with Bitcoin (BTC) might reach an astonishing $870 million, potentially placing him among the top indirect cryptocurrency stakeholders.
This significant interest reportedly originates from his 41% stake in Trump Media and Technology Group (NASDAQ: DJT), or TMTG. This parent company of Truth Social secured $2.3 billion through a mix of debt and equity funding earlier this year, subsequently investing around $2 billion into what is often termed “digital gold.”
What is the extent of Trump’s cryptocurrency holdings?
The value of Donald Trump’s publicly known on-chain cryptocurrency assets surged notably during the third quarter of 2025, marking a 36.6% increase after a challenging start to the year.
Specifically, between July 1 and September 30, Trump’s wallet’s value climbed from $2.27 million to approximately $3.10 million—a paper profit close to $823,000—according to Finbold’s Q3 2025 Cryptocurrency Market Report.
Currently, however, his direct holdings have seen a decline and are now valued at about $1.35 million; interestingly enough, Ethereum (ETH) constitutes about 83% of these assets based on data obtained by Finbold from Arkham. Notably absent in this account is any BTC holding.
Apart from his personal investments in crypto wallets, the Trump family engages with digital currencies via World Liberty Financial (WLFI), which promotes itself as a patriotic decentralized finance platform alternative to Wall Street along with their involvement in TMTG.
This means that while Trump’s connection to Bitcoin worth up to $870 million isn’t direct—being largely tied through TMTG’s financial strategies—it remains an integral part of his overall financial interests despite not being managed within traditional personal wallets.
The strategic role of Bitcoin as a financial asset
TMTG has maintained its Bitcoin investments as stable components within its balance sheet despite recent market fluctuations. By prioritizing cryptocurrencies like BTC over other avenues traditionally associated with social media companies’ identities—the firm has redefined itself following models established by corporations such as Strategy (NASDAQ: MSTR).
This move highlights broader trends among American businesses recognizing BTC’s potential strategic value; indeed it reflects how much Trump himself evolved regarding digital currencies—from skepticism during initial presidential terms where he criticized them for volatility—to becoming an advocate upon returning office actively influencing markets especially policies including GENIUS Act aimed positioning U.S leadership infrastructure supporting these new technologies’ growth globally!
