Eric Trump reaches billion-dollar fortune with Bitcoin and stablecoin WLFI
- Eric Trump billionaire with Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies
- WLFI and stablecoin expand Trump family power
- Donald Trump Jr. diversifies beyond cryptocurrencies
Eric Trump, the second son of current US President Donald Trump, achieved billionaire status thanks to his cryptocurrency holdings. His rise was fueled by the growth of American Bitcoin, a company in which he is a major shareholder. On the morning of September 3, 2025, the company reached a market value that raised Eric's net worth to approximately $950 million, before closing the day at around $590 million.
American Bitcoin has over 16.000 active mining machines and holds 2.443 BTC, valued at approximately US$275 million. What's notable about the sector is that the company operates with only two employees, yet is still valued at around US$7,3 billion. Market analysts note that this valuation may indicate high investor expectations.
Cryptocurrencies and the Trump Family Business
Eric Trump isn't the only family member investing in the sector. Donald Trump Jr. also participates in digital asset ventures, including American Bitcoin, although his exact stake has not been disclosed. Both brothers also lead World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a company that launched its own token and a $1-pegged stablecoin, backed by over $2 billion from UAE investors.
WLFI gained traction after President Trump signed the law in July 2025, regulating stablecoins in the US. This measure boosted international investor confidence and solidified the company as a leading player in the digital asset sector.
Diversification beyond cryptocurrencies
Alongside their focus on crypto, Eric and Donald Jr. are expanding the family's licensing business in markets such as Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Romania. Revenues jumped from $7 million in 2023 to $45 million the following year, making this area a strong point in the Trumps' business strategy.
The brothers also partnered with Dominari Holdings to structure new investment models. In the summer of 2025, they launched New America Acquisition I Corp, a SPAC with a goal of raising $300 million for technology and logistics initiatives. Donald Trump Jr., meanwhile, further diversified by taking a seat on the board of retailer GrabAGun (PEW) and investing in drone manufacturer Unusual Machines.
