Cryptocurrency Leader
Donald Trump is about to become the first US president to publicly endorse cryptocurrencies, marking a clear departure from his previous monetary stance. Adding another historic milestone, Trump will also hold cryptocurrencies while in office. His portfolio is currently worth $5.43 million, with Ethereum (ETH) accounting for a significant portion of its value.
As of November 25, according to Arkham Intelligence, Trump’s holdings include $1.7 million in Ethereum and $1.65 million in wrapped Ethereum (WETH). Additionally, he owns 579,289.81 TRUMP tokens—a political meme coin (politifi) that was airdropped to him—worth about $1 million based on today’s prices.
Trump also owns 210.345 billion TROG tokens, which are currently worth $403,860. While his digital assets still hold significant value, they were worth over $14 million in June. During that time, TRUMP tokens alone were worth $9.89 million.
His Ethereum holdings were also more valuable earlier this year, with ETH trading at $3,813 on June 1, versus its current price of $3,475 on November 25. Over the summer, Trump’s wallet soared in value, doubling in less than a week. On June 5, it reached $31.23 million, largely driven by TROG tokens, which were then valued at $18.6 million.
At the time, Trump was campaigning ahead of his 2024 election victory. His team may also be considering the impact of selling political tokens like TRUMP, as such an action could attract criticism or scrutiny. For now, holding onto these tokens may be a calculated move to navigate these uncertainties while evaluating compliance strategies for the future.
