Trump's Secret Crypto Fortune: Billions in Meme Coins Outweigh His Real Estate Empire

President Trump's Cryptocurrency Holdings Exceed Value of Trump Tower and Mar-a-Lago, Report Reveals June 6, 2025 - A stunning new report from Forbes Magazine has revealed that President Donald Trump's cryptocurrency holdings are worth more than his iconic Trump Tower and Mar-a-Lago estate combined. This revelation comes from an interview with Forbes senior editor Dan Alexander, who broke the story on CNN's OutFront. "Remember a year ago, he owed more than $500 million in legal liabilities and had about $400 million on his balance sheet," Alexander explained. "So he needed cash, and crypto is where he got it." The report details Trump's significant investments in meme coins. Initially, these tokens were locked, but starting in April, some began to unlock. Alexander estimates that 8% of Trump's meme coin holdings, currently worth $400 million, have been unlocked. The remaining 92% remain to be unlocked, representing a substantial future asset. This newfound liquidity offers Trump significant financial flexibility. Burnett points out the unusual nature of Trump hosting a dinner for the largest buyers of his meme coin, a detail kept private. Alexander emphasizes the importance of this liquidity, suggesting it provides a safety net against potential legal losses or large expenses. The interview highlights the increasing intertwining of Trump's presidency and his meme coin ventures, a situation with significant implications for his financial future.
