(AP Photo/Alex Brandon) (AP) US President Donald Trump holds an important position in digital currencies Bitcoin, which according to an estimated $ 870 million, which may make him one of the largest investors in Bitcoin worldwide, according to Forbes. However, the US media company said Bitcoin did not appear on Trump’s official financial revelations, nor was it listed under the Holdings on the Trump organization’s website. Other reports of his assets also make no mention of the cryptocurrency. Forbes attributes this to Trump who keeps Bitcoin indirectly through his interest in Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG), which operates socially and appears on his balance sheet. Trump Media’s crypto move earlier this year, Forbes reported that TMTG was turned to cryptocurrency, despite yielding less than $ 4 million in annual revenue. In May, the company raised $ 2.3 billion through debt and stock sales. By July, it acquired $ 2 billion in Bitcoin. Share sales diluted Trump’s 52% to 41% stake, which gave him personal exposure to an estimated $ 870 million in Bitcoin, it states. Trump among the world’s top crypto containers, according to Forbes, only a few billionaires surpassed Trump in Bitcoin Holdings. These include the Winklevoss twin (over $ 8 billion), Michael Saylor (about $ 5 billion via its company strategy plus $ 2.2 billion personal belongings), Tim Draper ($ 3.6 billion from Silk Road Auctioned Coins) and Matthew Roszak (over $ 1 billion). Trump, on the other hand, largely avoided bitcoin during his first presidential term. Trump’s crypto journey since leaving the White House after leaving office has begun to explore Crypto. He first sold NFT trading cards, yielded a few million dollars, and later launched World Liberty Financial with his three sons. The company initially struggled until Trump’s second election win was in 2024. Forbes reports that the Crypto community contributed more than $ 1 billion to Trump’s net worth by World Liberty Tokens and launched a memecoin before the inauguration, which contributed almost $ 1 billion. The market dynamics increase the crypto strategy of Trump to Trump’s re -election, Bitcoin prices rose 60% between the election day and May 2025, asking Trump media to start building the cryptocurrency. According to Forbes, the company raised funds up to $ 1 billion in convertible bonds and $ 1.4 billion to stock, giving Trump an exposure to personal debt, greater than any of its real estate mortgages. Investor sentiment and market valuation Despite a stronger balance sheet with billions of rands in bitcoin and debt, TMTG’s market cap is $ 1.2 billion lower than pre-bitcoin levels. Without Bitcoin, investors now appreciate the original media business at only 60% of the May 2025 valuation, the report states. However, the outlook remains uncertain, but potentially favorable. If Bitcoin prices are still rising, especially under a second Trump presidency, TMTG stocks can increase, and add hundreds of millions -or even billions -to Trump’s fortune.
