Bloomberg: The Trump family is monetizing their fame, political influence, and power at an unprecedented pace.

On July 2, Bloomberg published a lengthy article titled "Trump's Crypto Wealth Landscape: A Profitable Business Under the Political Halo," directly pointing out that Trump and his family are monetizing their fame, political influence, and power at an unprecedented speed. Bloomberg stated that compared to the years of planning required for real estate development, the Trump family has always excelled at quickly monetizing through brand licensing (from real estate to perfume mattresses). The cryptocurrency sector has become a super accelerator for their "naming economy." With the relaxation of foreign transaction restrictions during the second term, crypto business has become a new engine for their wealth growth. According to Bloomberg's Billionaires Index, projects like World Liberty Financial and Trump-themed meme coins have added at least $620 million to their wealth in just a few months. It is reported that the World Liberty Financial platform issued branded tokens and stablecoins USD1, achieving $550 million in token sales in March, with the Trump family receiving $390 million. The family also holds 22.5 billion non-circulating tokens (valued at over $2 billion based on June trading prices), with Trump-themed meme coins controlled by related parties accounting for 80% of the supply, boosted by marketing tactics such as the "Large Investors Dinner." In addition, American Bitcoin Company (spun off from a Trump-associated investment bank) plans to go public, potentially adding another source of crypto wealth for the family. The company is valued at over $3 billion through a merger with the publicly listed company Hut 8 (despite its main asset being mining rigs valued at only $12 million on paper).
