Donald Trump, former president of the United States and candidate for the 2024 presidential election, is said to have a hidden fortune in cryptocurrency. According to the watchdog Citizens for Ethics, he holds between $1 million and $5 million, a significant portion of which is in Ethereum.
Trump has an impressive crypto portfolio (including Ethereum)
According to a report by Citizens for Ethics, Trump has a digital wallet containing up to $5 million in Ethereum. Arkham Intelligence specifies that the exact value would be $3.6 million, including:
- 1.29 million in ETH,
- $986,000 in Wrapped Ethereum (WETH).
Another interesting fact: the wallet also contains $372,000 in TROG. This is a meme cryptocurrency representing a frog in a MAGA hat.
These investments, although significant, represent only 0.067% of the wealth Trump's estimated net worth. Forbes estimates the latter at $7.5 billion.
Trump's empire expands to NFTs
Beyond Ethereum, Trump has also capitalized on the NFT phenomenon. According to the reporthe has generated over $7.15 million through a licensing agreement for its “Trump Digital Trading Cards.”
These NFTs, released in two series, depict the former president in various heroic or fantasy scenarios. Despite promising beginnings, the value of these NFTs has fluctuated significantly (illustrating the volatility of the digital asset market).
Trump, the pro-crypto candidate of 2024?
In his 2024 campaign, Trump seems to want to position himself as The candidate in favor of cryptocurrencies. He promises to end the current administration's anti-crypto crusade and even plans to build a strategic reserve of Bitcoin.
This approach could attract the attention of investors and blockchain enthusiasts, potentially influencing the policy debate around the regulation of digital assets.
In conclusion, Trump’s Ethereum investments and his foray into the world of NFTs mark a turning point in the relationship between politics and cryptocurrencies. As the presidential race heats up, the impact of these strategies on the electorate and the crypto market remains to be seen.
