Trump Family’s Crypto Sell-Off: A Billion-Dollar Escape Plan?

by

Ah, the digital gold rush. Tokens flying, stablecoins booming, and the Trump family—well, they’re just quietly counting their profits. While the world watches the cryptocurrency revolution unfold, the Trumps seem to be pulling back from their very own “financial revolution,” World Liberty Financial, which promised to be the next big thing, or perhaps the next big flop. But who’s to say? 😏

According to a recent Forbes report on June 19th, the Trump clan decided to reduce their stake in the venture from a commanding 60% to a more modest 40%. This wasn’t the sort of announcement that would make headlines or get your press release published. Oh no. It was all hush-hush, hidden from the public eye with no fanfare whatsoever—just the way you’d expect from a family that knows how to make a fortune without making a scene.

It’s all being masterminded by none other than DT Marks DEFI LLC, the brainchild of Donald Trump and his sons. They’ve been in the crypto game for a while, and this is not their first rodeo. Earlier this year, they already sold off a portion of their holdings, and now they’re at it again, reducing their share in a company that’s been promising an “upgraded” digital dollar and a “revolution.” If that’s not an invitation to roll your eyes, I don’t know what is. 😜

Is Trump’s Crypto Empire Slowly Crumbling?

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. This isn’t the first time the Trumps have trimmed their position in World Liberty Financial. Oh no, far from it. In fact, this marks the third time in just six months that they’ve quietly unloaded some of their precious crypto holdings. Back in December, DT Marks DEFI LLC controlled a whopping 75% of the venture. By January, it had dropped to 60%. Now, with just 40%, we can see the writing on the wall: it’s a slow and steady exit, turning all that crypto hype into cold, hard cash. 🤑

But the timing, my friends, is something special. The first sell-off happened right after Trump’s inauguration in January, just as token sales hit a mind-blowing $200 million in a single day. The second sell-off was timed to perfection, right as Circle, a competitor in the stablecoin business, was basking in the glory of a Wall Street IPO that saw its value nearly triple. Coincidence? Or just a well-calculated game of financial chess? 🏰

The $190 Million Payday

Let’s talk numbers. With everything lining up nicely for World Liberty Financial, including the Senate’s recent approval of a stablecoin framework, it’s no surprise that the Trumps might have chosen this moment to cash out. If the company’s value mirrors that of Circle, that little transaction could have earned them a cool $190 million. And Donald himself? Oh, he might have pocketed an estimated $135 million. Cha-ching! 💸

As the Trumps continue to unload their shares while supporters eagerly snap them up, one thing becomes crystal clear: in this “financial revolution,” some folks are definitely more equal than others. 🐷

The only question now is whether regulators and investors will wake up and start asking the tough questions before the next stake reduction quietly disappears in the fine print. And let’s be real: when it comes to the Trumps and crypto, don’t expect any loud, public announcements. No, this is business done the Trump way—subtle, strategic, and incredibly profitable. 😏
