Trump Crypto Fortune Surpasses Mar-A-Lago, DJT Stakes Amid CLARITY Act Ethics Fight

• Bloomberg reported that World Liberty Financial is now worth more to the Trump family than Trump Media or the Mar-a-Lago resort.
• The disclosure comes ahead of the CLARITY Act markup in the Senate, likely to take place on Thursday. 
• Senator Kirsten Gillibrand said Democrats will not support the bill unless it includes restrictions on federal officials profiting from crypto ventures while in office.

The Trump family’s crypto ventures reportedly added an estimated $660 million to their fortune after previously undisclosed sales tied to World Liberty Financial (WLFI).

The Bloomberg report comes ahead of the expected CLARITY Act markup in the Senate on Thursday, where democrats have said they’re unlikely to vote in favor of the bill unless an ethics provision is included barring government officials from trading in the cryptocurrency market.

It found that World Liberty sold billions of additional WLFI tokens through private “white glove” transactions that were not previously disclosed publicly. It said that World Liberty Financial, the crypto venture co-founded by President Donald Trump and his sons, is now more valuable to the family than its stakes in Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. (DJT) and the Mar-a-Lago resort. 

The Bloomberg Billionaires Index estimated that the Trump family’s overall fortune now stands at roughly $6.8 billion, with World Liberty becoming the largest contributor.

Where Did The Trump Family’s $660 Million Come From?

Bloomberg estimated the Trump family made about $660 million because World Liberty reportedly sold 5.9 billion WLFI tokens at roughly $0.15  each, generating about $885 million in sales. 

Since Trump-linked entities are entitled to 75% of the proceeds, their share comes to around $660 million. The total estimated sales tied to the Trump family reached roughly $1.55 billion. 

The report also said the family’s locked WLFI holdings lost about $2.4 billion in paper value because the token price fell sharply from earlier levels but those losses are unrealized since the tokens cannot yet be sold.

Ethics Provision Could Halt CLARITY Act

The report revelations arrive at a sensitive moment for crypto legislation in Washington. The Senate Banking Committee is preparing to mark up the CLARITY Act this week, but negotiations remain tense over whether the bill should include ethics restrictions preventing senior federal officials from profiting off crypto ventures while in office.

"There will be no one voting for this bill if we don't have an ethics provision," Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) stated at Consensus Miami 2026 last week. She was pointing to President Donald Trump's sprawling crypto business interests, including the Official Trump (TRUMP) memecoin and World Liberty Financial (WLFI), which last year launched the USD One (USD1) stablecoin.

WLFI’s Price Recovers From Record Low

WLFI’s price rose 1.99% in the last 24 hours to around $0.067 despite broader weakness in the cryptocurrency market. Bitcoin (BTC) fell 1.5% on the day to around $80,500. Retail sentiment around the WLFI token on Stocktwits trended in ‘bullish’ territory over the past day, accompanied by ‘low’ levels of chatter.

Despite the uptick, WLFI’s price remained nearly 80% below its record high of $0.33 seen in September, but has managed to recover over 30% from its all-time low of $0.52 from earlier this month. The crypto project was also sued by Justin Sun, a former Trump ally, last month for running an “illegal scheme”. World Liberty countersued Sun on “defamation” charges.

Meanwhile, the Official Trump token (TRUMP) fell 4.5% in the last 24 hours to around $2.32. Retail sentiment around the memecoin on Stocktwits trended in ‘neutral’ territory over the past day, with ‘low’ levels of chatter. Retail sentiment around the World Liberty’s USD1 (USD1) stablecoin was in ‘neutral’ territory, with ‘normal’ levels of chatter.
