Who would have thought that the biggest crypto skeptic would become one of its biggest fans? US President Donald Trump, who used to call Bitcoin “thin air” and a “tool for drug dealers,” has suddenly emerged as one of the world’s top Bitcoin investors.
According to Forbes, Trump controls roughly $870–$910 million in Bitcoin, although not directly, but through his company, Truth Social (Trump Media & Technology Group). The firm raised $2.3 billion in May. Besides, he spent $2 billion on Bitcoin in July, sticking to his conservative investment strategy. Since then, the price has increased by about 11%, and now the president can proudly say that both the economy and the karma of his personal portfolio are on the rise.
In the ranking of the richest Bitcoin holders, Trump trails only behind the founders of crypto marvels — Satoshi Nakamoto, the Winklevoss twins, and Michael Saylor. But he stands out in one unique way: unlike the others, he has access to the nuclear codes. Still, whether the BTC price is swayed more by his tweets or his tariffs on China remains an open question.
Apart from Bitcoin, Trump possesses his own coins, OFFICIAL TRUMP, as well as World Liberty Financial (WLFI) tokens, launched in partnership with his son. Altogether, he holds nearly $3 billion in digital assets, making him not just a crypto investor but a full-fledged crypto magnate with a hint of a family business.
It may be time to update the motto Make America Great Again to Make Bitcoin Great Again. As Donald himself might say: “Nobody loves Bitcoin more than me. Maybe except Satoshi.”
