Trump Sons Profit From Every Angle of $1.6 Billion US-Backed Tungsten Deal

Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump reportedly acquired about 20% of a tungsten mining company in Kazakhstan, which is now receiving up to $1.6 billion in funding from the US government, according to a Financial Times report.

Several factors are working in their favor, all stemming from their father’s policies. The government is funding the mine’s construction, a US restriction has eliminated the main competitor, and the military now requires a new source of materials.

Why the Deal Raises Red Flags

In August 2025, the brothers gained access to the public market through Skyline Builders, a company listed on the Nasdaq stock exchange, without making any public announcement. Later in October, they purchased additional shares in a private sale worth $24 million, shortly after details of the deal became public.

In November, President Trump and Kazakhstan’s President Tokayev announced the project during a meeting at the White House.

The Export-Import Bank committed up to $900 million in funding, with an additional $700 million pledged by the Development Finance Corporation.

“This could be the biggest corruption scandal in recent US history,” analyst Bull Theory noted.

The brothers were already under investigation by the Senate regarding potential conflicts of interest related to their other cryptocurrency investments. Sources say they are simply passive investors and don’t hold any official positions within the government.

The Financial Times found no evidence they knew about pending US support when they first bought in.

Three Angles of Government Help

American companies haven’t commercially mined tungsten since 2015. Plus, a law taking effect in 2026 will prevent the use of Chinese tungsten in US military equipment, which means the Pentagon currently lacks a source of tungsten from within the country.

Tungsten is now a critical, but largely ignored, weakness for the United States.

Its price has surged over 500% in the last fourteen months. China, the primary exporter, has significantly cut back its supply, and the US hasn’t commercially mined tungsten since 2015.

This is a major concern because tungsten is a vital component in everything from defense systems and jet engines to the advanced AI chips driving modern technology.

China dominates the world’s tungsten supply, controlling around 80% of it. When they increased export restrictions at the beginning of 2025, prices soared to levels not seen in ten years, prompting the United States to seek tungsten sources from its allies.

The Northern Katpar and Upper Kairakty deposits could supply roughly 15% of global tungsten output.

  • Government cash builds the mine.
  • Government policy banishes the dominant rival.
  • Government contracts will fill the gap that policy created.

As a crypto investor, I’m really watching to see if this KAZR thing gets Congress looking closely at how we all hold crypto. The next few weeks will likely tell us if it does, and that could have a big impact on the market.
