Should we just call him the commander of crypto now?

A new report has revealed President Trump is one of the largest holders of Bitcoin.

Currently President Trump indirectly holds $870 million worth of Bitcoin through his 41% stake in his media company Trump Media and Technology Group.

Trump Media and Technology Group is the parent company of President Trump’s social media platform Truth Social.

Trading View broke down how President Trump was able to amass the large position in Bitcoin:

Trump Becomes the Largest Bitcoin Whale Donald Trump has emerged as one of the largest Bitcoin holders in the world.

According to Forbes, Trump indirectly owns about $870 million worth of Bitcoin through his 41% stake in Trump Media & Technology Group, the parent company of Truth Social. Earlier this year, Trump Media made headlines by investing $2 billion in Bitcoin, using funds raised from stock and debt sales.

The move echoes MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin investment strategy, led by Michael Saylor. Despite recent market volatility, Trump Media’s Bitcoin holdings have become its strongest-performing asset, signaling growing confidence in digital currencies. From Bitcoin Critic to Supporter Trump’s views on Bitcoin have changed dramatically over time.

Back in 2019, he criticized it as “highly volatile” and “based on thin air.” But today, he has taken a completely different tone.Since returning to the office, Trump has voiced support for blockchain innovation in the U.S., pushing policies designed to make the country a leader in crypto development. His administration recently introduced the GENIUS Act, aimed at boosting research and development in blockchain and digital asset technologies.

With Trump’s growing influence in crypto and whales making bold moves, the market faces a critical moment. Will Bitcoin continue its upward trend, or is another correction on the horizon?

Forbes reported President trump’s net worth has jumped over $3 billion in one year, thanks to crypto:

Trump’s fortune jumped $3 billion in one year. That 70% gain vaulted him 118 spots on The Forbes 400, where he landed this year at No. 201.

His move into crypto accounts for $2 billion of that, split more or less evenly between World Liberty Financial and a memecoin.

A New York appeals court gave him a $500 million boost by throwing out his civil fraud penalty, and another $400 million comes from the explosion of his international licensing business.

Melania has made money in typical First Lady ways (books, speeches, a documentary) and unquestionably Trumpian ways, launching a memecoin of her own, which has a current market cap of less than $200 million.
