The Trump family's asset structure has rapidly shifted toward cryptocurrency, with digital assets now accounting for approximately 20% of their total net worth, Bloomberg reported. Of the family's estimated $6.8 billion in total assets, around $1.4 billion is derived from crypto-related projects, marking a significant change from their traditional focus on real estate. Bloomberg identified three main sources for this crypto wealth: World Liberty Financial (WLFI), the meme coin Trump (TRUMP), and the Bitcoin mining company American Bitcoin (ABTC). The report noted that while the family has accumulated wealth through crypto, their overall net worth has not seen a substantial increase due to the sharp decline in the stock price of their flagship business, Trump Media (TMTG). Additionally, criticism persists that the Trump administration's pro-crypto policies are directly contributing to the family's asset growth.

WLFI has previously applied for a banking license to manage the issuance, custody, and exchange of USD1.
