The former US President, Donald Trump, has faced a substantial loss with a notable decrease in his net worth. According to a Forbes report, Trump’s wealth has shrunk by $1.1 billion, a result attributed primarily to the tumult in the cryptocurrency market, especially the crash of Bitcoin.
Trump’s TMTG Stocks Plummet
Forbes’ new report highlights that Donald Trump’s total wealth now stands at $6.2 billion, down from $7.3 billion in September. This directly translates to a $1.1 billion decrease. This decline was linked to a steep drop in shares of his tech company, TMTG, which operates under the DJT ticker.
Last Friday, amidst a significant crash in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, TMTG stocks fell to $10.18, marking its lowest point. Trump’s company shares have been on a downward trend for some time, facing a sharp decline in recent times. Particularly, TMTG (Trump Media and Technology Group) stock has pulled back 35% in the past month and experienced a 55% drop over the past six months.
Despite Wealth Growth, a Sudden Shock
Notably, by September 2025, Donald Trump’s net worth was on the rise, having increased by $3 billion compared to last year. This surge in wealth had landed Trump a spot on Forbes’ list of the 400 wealthiest Americans, placing him at rank 201. However, he now experiences an unexpected $1.1 billion drop.
Cryptocurrency Investments were Profitable
According to the report, Trump’s wealth had increased primarily due to family investments in cryptocurrencies, including the business ‘World Liberty Financial’ announced last year. This firm received a $75 million investment from crypto businessman Justin Sun.
Forbes lists Trump and his three sons as the co-founders of World Liberty Financial, a decentralized financial platform launched in September 2024. The company minted 100 billion $WLFI tokens, 22.5 billion of which were allocated to DT Marks DeFi LLC, where Trump holds an estimated 70% stake. Initially priced at $0.31, the $WLFI tokens have now dropped to $0.158.
Quarterly Losses for Trump’s Company
Looking at a filing made by the Securities and Exchange Commission in early November, Trump Media and Technology Group reported a third-quarter loss of $54.8 million. The company’s Bitcoin holdings fell by $48 million, though this was partially offset by a $33 million profit from Cronos crypto holdings. Despite these outcomes, Trump has consistently stated he detached himself from personal business interests after assuming the presidency.
30% Dip in Bitcoin Value
Analyzing the world’s largest cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, we see a significant price drop in recent times. On October 6, its price peaked at approximately $125,000, only to plummet by over 30%, now resting at $86,174. This marks an approximate 22% drop within just one month.
