Barron Trump made millions from family's lucrative crypto firm: report
Barron Trump, the youngest son of the 47th President, may have raked in millions of dollars from the sale of crypto tokens linked to the family's lucrative venture into digital tokens, according to report. The 19-year-old New York University student could have picked up a cool $40 million — $25 million after taxes — from the sale of digital assets by World Liberty Financial Group, the Trump family firm launched nine months ago after Barron persuaded his dad about the benefits of crypto, Forbes reported. 'Barron knows so much about this,' commander-in-chief said during an interview in September after the launch. 'Barron's a young guy, but he knows it — he talks about his wallet. He's got four wallets or something, and I'm saying, 'What is a wallet?'' Barron Trump, seen here at his father's second inauguration, is listed as a 'co-founder' on World Liberty Financial's website. AFP via Getty Images World Liberty has been a financial bonanza for the family. In March, World Liberty announced that it had sold $550 million worth of tokens. An Office of Government Ethics filing released by President Trump last week declared he had made $57 million from token sales. It also said that the real estate mogul held a 75% stake in his umbrella company, DT Marks Defi LLC, with unnamed 'third parties' holding the other 25%. Barron Trump is listed as a 'co-founder' of World Liberty Financial alongside the president, as well as Eric and Donald Trump Jr, the president's two eldest sons. Forbes, which provided no direct evidence for its claims of Barron Trump's massive digital windfall, suggested that he owned a 7.5% stake in Delaware-based World Liberty. The stake would mirror what the NYU freshman holds in the Trump Organization's Washington, DC hotel, Forbes said. The Post has approached a Trump Organization spokesperson for comment. Trump once derided digital assets such as Bitcoin as 'a scam' but he has since U-turned and embraced cryptocurrencies. REUTERS Barron Trump's name does not appear in the company's solitary SEC filing from October 30 last year. Also listed as business partners in the venture are Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff and his son, Zachary. An analysis by Bloomberg, the financial news outlet, estimates the president's net worth has doubled since the start of his 2024 campaign, standing at just over $5.4 billion

Bitcoin Rises as U.S. Debt Surpasses $37 Trillion
Bitcoin (BTC-USD) has continued to climb in 2025, reaching a market capitalization of $2.1 trillion, even as the U.S. national debt surpasses $37 trillion, according to Cointelegraph. The contrast between fiat-driven fiscal expansion and Bitcoin's fixed-supply model has drawn growing interest from institutions, sovereign funds, and individual investors. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 7 Warning Signs with MSTR. Regulatory approval of spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds in early 2024 accelerated mainstream access, with $45 billion in inflows recorded so far this year. Major players including BlackRock (BLK, Financials), Fidelity, Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) (MSTR, Financials), and GameStop (GME, Financials) have incorporated Bitcoin into their treasury strategies. Tesla (TSLA, Financials) also remains a high-profile corporate holder. El Salvador, which adopted Bitcoin as legal tender in 2021, has continued to advance its crypto-financed Volcano Bonds project. Bitcoin's appeal as a decentralized hedge against inflation and currency debasement has grown alongside concerns about long-term fiscal stability. While governments continue to rely on stimulus spending and debt issuance, Bitcoin's scarcity and censorship-resistant design present an alternative monetary framework. A Cointelegraph analysis suggests that if just 1% of the $7.6 trillion in U.S. stimulus spending since 2020 had been allocated to Bitcoin, it would have amounted to a $76 billion injectionroughly 3.6% of Bitcoin's current market cap. Such capital flows could have driven a 5% to 15% appreciation in Bitcoin's price due to its low float and high price sensitivity. While volatility and political risk remain barriers to sovereign adoption, Bitcoin's expanding institutional presence, technological upgrades, and cultural significance continue to reshape how investors view monetary policy and long-term value preservation.
