Senator Bernie Sanders has accused the Trump family of generating $3.02 billion from cryptocurrency ventures, labeling the wealth accumulation as "unprecedented kleptocracy" in a viral post on X.
According to reports from ourcryptotalk.com, Sanders provided a detailed breakdown of what he describes as $4 billion in total presidential profits. The senator's figures indicate that crypto-related income accounts for the vast majority of that sum.
Other revenue streams cited by Sanders include $425.8 million from Persian Gulf deals, $150 million from a Qatari jet, and $125 million from Mar-a-Lago. The senator also pointed to $25 million in profits from Truth Social.
Much of the crypto wealth stems from World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a project where Donald Trump is listed as "Founder Emeritus." His sons, Eric, Don Jr., and Barron, also hold roles within the initiative.
DT Marks DEFI LLC, an entity controlled by the Trump family, reportedly receives 75% of all net revenue from WLFI token sales. By December 2025, WLFI token sales had raised approximately $550 million.
Ourcryptotalk.com reports that the Trump family collected around $442.5 million from those sales alone. When including other WLFI-related revenue, Reuters estimated total family proceeds exceeded $1 billion.
Crypto tokens and stablecoin growth
The Trump family's crypto portfolio also includes the $TRUMP meme coin and the USD1 stablecoin. The $TRUMP coin generated nearly $400 million in trading fees for Trump-linked entities, even as the token price crashed 94% from its peak.
More than 810,000 retail investors lost money following the $TRUMP token collapse. Meanwhile, the USD1 stablecoin has grown into a major market player, reaching a market capitalization of $5.1 billion by April 2026.
Legal challenges are also mounting against these ventures. On April 22, Tron founder Justin Sun filed a lawsuit against WLFI, alleging the company illegally froze his token holdings worth up to $1 billion and pressured him to increase his investment.
These developments are occurring as U.S. policymakers debate whether the GENIUS Act stablecoin framework creates conflicts of interest for a president whose family profits from the USD1 stablecoin.
