Former President Donald Trump’s net worth fell by $1.1 billion in recent months, according to financial analysts tracking his wealth.
The decline follows losses in his technology company TMTG and the Trump family’s cryptocurrency investments, highlighting volatility in both traditional and digital assets.
As of Friday, Trump’s net worth was estimated at $6.2 billion, down from a record $7.3 billion in September, placing him lower on the Forbes 400 list of America’s richest individuals.
Trump’s wealth surge over the past year was largely fueled by investments in digital currencies and new ventures in decentralized finance.
Among these is World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency platform co-founded by Trump and his three adult sons, which secured $75 million from crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun last year.
World Liberty Financial launched 100 billion $WLFI tokens in September 2024, with 22.5 billion tokens allocated to DT Marks DEFI LLC, a company in which Trump holds a 70 percent stake.
The tokens debuted at $0.31 but have since fallen to $0.158, reflecting broader market declines in bitcoin and other digital assets.
“The Trump family’s exposure to both tech stocks and cryptocurrencies adds a layer of volatility to their net worth,” said Laura Henderson, a financial analyst at Sterling Wealth Advisors in New York.
“Even high profile investors are not immune to market swings, especially in emerging sectors like decentralized finance.”
Experts note that the fall in Trump’s net worth is tied both to the TMTG stock performance and the broader cryptocurrency downturn.
TMTG, which trades under the ticker DJT, dropped to $10.18 on Friday, near an all-time low, after months of fluctuating valuations.
“Trump’s tech ventures, including TMTG, are still in early growth stages,” said Michael Torres, professor of finance at Georgetown University. “Investors in these markets face heightened risk, and valuations can swing dramatically based on investor sentiment and regulatory news.”
Despite the recent decline, Trump’s overall net worth remains significantly higher than a decade ago. Forbes noted that his wealth increased by $3 billion over the past year, largely driven by early crypto investments and real estate holdings.
Trump’s current $6.2 billion net worth ranks him at No. 201 on the 2025 Forbes 400 list, a drop from No. 83 in September. The 118-position decline reflects both market volatility and the cyclical nature of tech and cryptocurrency sectors.
In comparison, several other billionaires with diversified tech and crypto portfolios have experienced similar fluctuations. Elon Musk, for instance, saw net worth swings of tens of billions in recent years tied to Tesla stock and cryptocurrency exposure.
World Liberty Financial’s $WLFI token is emblematic of these risks. Although the token generated initial excitement, it has lost nearly half its debut value, with founder and team tokens remaining locked per company policy.
“Early token holders often see immediate price swings,” said Henderson. “Founders’ holdings are usually subject to vesting schedules, which prevents immediate cashing out but also means unrealized losses impact reported net worth.”
Local investors and cryptocurrency enthusiasts have followed Trump’s ventures closely.
“I was excited when $WLFI launched, but the price drop reminds me how risky these coins can be,” said Kevin Yang, a crypto trader in San Francisco. “It’s a cautionary tale for anyone putting big money into new digital assets.”
Meanwhile, analysts caution that public perceptions of Trump’s wealth are often influenced by media coverage, which can amplify fluctuations.
“Net worth reporting is a snapshot, not a complete picture,” said Torres. “Market volatility can produce dramatic headlines even if long term fundamentals remain sound.”
Financial experts suggest that Trump’s net worth could stabilize if TMTG stock recovers and cryptocurrency markets rebound. However, ongoing regulatory scrutiny of digital assets in the United States could introduce additional uncertainty.
“Trump’s portfolio is heavily weighted toward speculative assets,” said Henderson. “If the tech and crypto markets stabilize, we may see his net worth climb again, but risks remain high.”
Investors and analysts will be watching both TMTG performance and $WLFI token trends closely over the next several months.
Donald Trump’s reported net worth has fallen by $1.1 billion, reflecting declines in both TMTG stock and the family’s cryptocurrency ventures.
While the drop is notable, experts emphasize the role of market volatility and the early stage nature of these assets.
Trump’s wealth remains substantial, though its composition underscores the unpredictable intersection of traditional investments and emerging digital finance.
