Figures: Reuters estimates
Reuters’ investigation describes a repeating pattern: the Trump family’s brand and political influence helped promote crypto ventures, while the family’s own financial risk stayed limited. According to Reuters’ estimates, the family received at least $2.3 billion, while investors in the same core projects lost roughly $2.3 billion — including paper losses.

On June 9, 2026, Reuters published a special investigation into four major crypto projects linked to Donald Trump’s family. Reuters argues the overall pattern was similar across all of them: the family risked little of its own money, publicly promoted the ventures, and drew income through token sales, licensing arrangements, and stakes in related companies. Investors, meanwhile, faced falling token and share prices.

This is not only a crypto story. It sits at the intersection of politics, financial regulation, a president’s personal brand, and speculative digital assets.
Even if the structure does not directly break the law, Reuters highlights a conflict-of-interest question: state power is helping shape the rules for an industry, while the president’s family benefits from that same industry.
