Trump’s Net Worth Falls $1.1 Billion as TMTG Stock and Crypto Investments Plunge
Sharp declines in DJT shares, crypto market turbulence, and mounting corporate losses push Trump’s wealth down to $6.2 billion.
Former President Donald Trump’s fortune has dropped by $1.1 billion since September after shares of his family company, Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), fell to their lowest levels ever this week. His net worth now stands at $6.2 billion, down from a record $7.3 billion just two months ago.
According to Forbes, the company’s stock — traded under the ticker DJT — fell on Friday to $10.18, nearing an all-time low, amid a sharp decline in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. This downturn follows a period of rapid growth: Trump’s wealth increased by nearly $3 billion last year, pushing him to No. 201 on the Forbes 400 list of richest Americans, up 118 spots from 2024.
A large part of this surge was linked to the Trump family’s crypto investments, including the World Liberty Financial project launched in September 2024, which received a $75 million investment from entrepreneur Justin Sun.
Crypto Volatility Deepens Trump’s Financial Troubles
The project created 100 billion WLFI tokens, with 22.5 billion donated to a company in which Trump owns a 70% stake. While the token launched at $0.31, its price has dropped to $0.158, and Trump is unlikely to benefit soon due to delayed-release rules for founders.
In January, TMTG stock hit a yearly high of $43.31, but the company later reported $54.8 million in losses for Q3, despite generating only $973,000 in revenue, according to SEC filings. The company also saw a $48 million drop in its Bitcoin holdings, partially offset by $33 million in gains from the Cronos cryptocurrency.
Since entering the White House, Trump has insisted he stepped away from his private business interests, transferring his $4 billion stake in TMTG to a trust managed by his son Donald Trump Jr. However, regulatory filings indicate he still retains control of his business empire and holds roughly 115 million shares of TMTG within the trust.
With this latest downturn, Trump faces mounting financial challenges, as his net worth is directly tied to the volatility of the crypto market and the performance of his media company — whose most valuable asset remains the Truth Social platform.
