US President Donald Trump’s love for luxury and golf has led him to cut ties with traditional business ventures like golf courses, which now make up less than half of his wealth. A new analysis from the left-leaning watchdog group Accountable.US claims that nearly 73% of Trump’s estimated $15.9 billion worth comes from crypto holdings he built at a record pace by misusing his office.
The group argues that Trump pushed bills to make it easier to inflate his net worth through dubious crypto schemes, which they claim have been hidden behind anonymous investors with unknown agendas. This has raised concerns over the risk to everyday Americans and national security.
Accountable.US president Caroline Ciccone stated, “Soon after signing his ‘Big Ugly’ law that rips away health care and food security from millions of American working people and seniors, President Trump pushed bills to make it easier to pad his net worth by billions through dubious crypto schemes.”
The analysis also found that Trump’s estimated $6.4 billion total wealth includes roughly $620 million in crypto assets, which may be undercounted due to the speculative nature of digital tokens.
Critics argue that Trump’s crypto industry boosterism has been corrupt because it benefits him personally, and his aggressive moves to cut down on regulations have raised concerns over national security. The White House has dismissed these claims as “irresponsible” and “unfair.”
