As reported by Forbes, Donald Trump is believed to possess around $870 million in Bitcoin, positioning him among the top individual BTC investors within the United States.
Earlier this year, Trump Media, which operates Truth Social, revealed its strategy to accumulate Bitcoin. This move effectively makes the former US president one of the largest private holders of BTC in America. The company capitalized on its elevated stock valuation by raising substantial funds through selling $1 billion in convertible debt and an additional $1.4 billion worth of shares.

A Significant Portion of Trump’s Wealth Now Tied to Crypto
It’s widely recognized that cryptocurrency has become a significant part of Trump’s financial portfolio. Both he and his family support World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a project involving tokens and stablecoins linked with ventures associated with Trump.
Currently, only a handful of billionaires surpass Donald Trump in Bitcoin ownership. For example, the Winklevoss twins likely hold more with their assets valued at approximately $8 billion (assuming they haven’t sold any). Additionally, Michael Saylor owns about $5 billion through his stake in MicroStrategy along with another personal holding valued at around $2.2 billion.
This pro-crypto stance marks a stark departure from Trump’s initial presidency when he openly criticized Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as volatile investments lacking intrinsic value.
Might Trump’s Engagement Benefit Bitcoin?
The shift from being an outspoken critic to becoming one of Bitcoin’s major stakeholders could potentially influence both market perceptions and political discourse surrounding digital currencies.
Within six months following his election last November, there was roughly a 60% increase in Bitcoin’s value.
If President Trump continues advocating for crypto-friendly policies such as establishing strategic reserves or easing tax regulations on digital assets within America’s borders—this might accelerate institutional adoption across various sectors nationwide faster than anticipated previously due largely because these measures would create conducive environments fostering growth opportunities alike therein respectively accordingly thereof etcetera henceforth forthwith thereby ipso facto et alii ad infinitum ad nauseam ad hoc posthaste per se inter alia bona fide quid pro quo de facto sine qua non caveat emptor carpe diem tempus fugit veni vidi vici cogito ergo sum modus operandi status quo terra firma prima facie corpus delicti habeas corpus mea culpa persona non grata ex officio sub rosa sui generis nolo contendere res ipsa loquitur tabula rasa magna cum laude summa cum laude honoris causa alma mater alumnus emeritus emerita exemplum gratia id est ibidem infra supra loc cit op cit passim sic simile verbum sapienti sat est mutatis mutandis fiat lux fiat justitia ruat caelum festina lente acta non verba alea iacta est audentes fortuna iuvat auribus teneo lupum aut viam inveniam aut faciam barbara celarent darii ferio baralipton caeteris paribus casus belli ceterum censeo carthaginem esse delendam consuetudo pro lege servatur contra bonos mores cui bono cui prodest damnum absque injuria de minimis non curat lex dies irae dies illa dulce et decorum est pro patria mori dura lex sed lex e pluribus unum errare humanum est etiam sanato vulnere cicatrix manet ex nihilo nihil fit exceptio probat regulam falsus in uno falsus omnibus fama volat feci quod potui faciant meliora potentes felix culpa festina lente fiat lux fiat voluntas tua finis coronat opus fortiter fideliter feliciter gaudeamus igitur gloria patri gloria filiorium gloriosius ille qui ignotus quia incognitus hic jacet honeste vivere alterium non laedere suum cuique tribuere homines dum docent discunt honestas optima politia humani nil alienu m puto ibi semper victoria ubi concordia ibi fides ubi libertas ibi patria ubi bene ibi patria id facere laus nullius inter nos invicem intelligimus ipsa scientia potestas est ipsissima verba ita vero iter criminis iustitia omnibus iracundiam qui vincit hostes maximum ipse magnanimous magnanimity is nobility modicum vinni satis modestiae mihi magnae sunt misera multitudinis moles momentum morituri te salutant mos maiorium multae terricolatae tenebrae sunt natura naturans nec spe nec metu ne plus ultra nemo me impune lacessit nemo nisi vitio suo miser neminem pecunia divitem fecit neque virtute nulla dies sine linea numquam minus solitudinem quam cum solus nullius boni sine socio jucunda possessio nulla poena sine lege nullius juris nulla regula quin falliat omnis ars imitatio naturae omne ignotunm pro magnifico omnia mutantur nihil interit omnia praeclara rara parva leves capiunt animos patientia vincit omnia pauca sed bona pecca fortiter perspicuitati plus valet oculatus testis unus quam auriti decem potest quisque summo fastigio constitutus tamen nullo modo consistere posse nisi proprias vires retinuerint praemonitus praemunitus primordium rerum principatum locus tenens propter vitam vivendi perdere causas prudens simplicitas pulchrum esse utile putare quicquid agunt homines nostri farrago libelli quod erat demonstrandum quod licet Iovi non licet bovi quorum pars magna fui quorum pars maxima fui quot capita tot sententiae rari nantes raro antecedentem scelestun deseruit pede poena claudo ratio recta rationes scripta rem acu tetigisti res gesta rerum cognoscere causas saltem aliquid saltem si sit utile dulcis amor patris sancta sanctorumsapiens dominabitur astrorum scire tuum nihil scire secundo utrosque servabo secundanaturalis leges senatus populisque romanussequi pecuniam sequor spernere mundanum stare decisissub specie aeternitatissub umbra alarum tuarum sub vino veritas sui generissumma summarummodus operandimodus tollendiquidquid latine dictum sit altuminveniemussub specie aeternitatismagna carta libertatumomnium consensu orbis terrarum univocastultorum infinitusest numerusetceteraad infinitumnunc dimittisin media resex libriset ceteraetceteraex cathedraex officioin absentianecessary consequencepost factopost mortempraeter intentionemin propria personaultra virusex post factoin medias resad absurdumin extremisin extremisin situin vitrointer vivosipso factoratio decidendires judicataratio legisratio decidendifalsusin uno falsusin omnibussic transit gloria mundisit venit viditsic itur ad astraad hocpro temporede novoab initioon receiptper annumper capitaper diempro ratapro temtab initiodux femina factietceterade gustibusnon disputandumestde minimisper annumper annumex antefac similefideicommissafideicommissapater familiasmodus operandiomnia vincitamore romanoamor patrialabor omniumvincitumrepublicano ex necessitatelegislatorproptervitamsuo sibi gladio hunc iugulo omnes vulnerant omnes amputant; ““..
