Trump’s Crypto Projects Generate $1.4B, Memecoin Investors Lose $3.81B
President Trump claimed he forgoes his presidential salary, but his 2025 declaration shows crypto projects TRUMP and WLFI brought in at least $1.4 billion, while approximately one million memecoin investors have suffered $3.81 billion in losses, per NYT.
Speaking at a business forum in Rome, Georgia, in February, Donald Trump stated he became the first U.S. president to decline his salary, estimating the waived amount at $2–2.5 million over four years.
However, his 2025 financial disclosure reveals that Trump’s crypto ventures—specifically the TRUMP memecoin and the WLFI project—generated at least $1.4 billion in income.
Meanwhile, the New York Times reports that about one million investors in the president’s memecoin are sitting on unrealized losses totaling $3.81 billion.
