Trump Crypto: Family Netted $2.3Bn From Crypto While Investors Lost the Same

In Trump crypto news today, the President's family made $2.3Bn from four cryptocurrency ventures as of the end of April 2026 while putting up little to no capital of their own – and outside investors lost an equivalent $2.3 billion in the same projects.

That is the central finding of a Reuters investigation published on June 9, 2026, based on thousands of pages of corporate filings and interviews with more than a dozen academics and consultants, as well as 27 individual retail investors.
