President Donald Trump’s cryptocurrency portfolio took a massive hit in the first quarter of 2025, aligning with broader market trends.
In the first three months of the year, his wallet, which contains a significant concentration of meme coins, recorded a drop of 80.7% in value, with total holdings starting the year at $10.16 million, according to data retrieved by Finbold from market intelligence platform Arkham.
The sharp decline is one of several key data points featured in Finbold’s Q1 2025 Cryptocurrency Market Report, which highlights emerging investor behavior, shifting market dynamics, and the broader correction that impacted portfolios across the digital asset space.
By March 31, 2025, the figure had plummeted to $1.96 million, a net loss of $8.2 million over the three months.
At the start of the year, one of Trump’s largest assets was Ethereum (ETH), valued at $1.66 million, when the cryptocurrency traded at $3,354. By March 31, its value had plummeted to just $10,580, a 99.4% drop.
Another major holding, the meme coin MAGA (TRUMP), sharply declined from $973,210 to $142,060. Despite the decline, he retained his entire TRUMP balance.
Trog (TROG), with 210.35 billion tokens, started the year valued at $4.76 million but fell 83.3% to $794,690 at the quarter’s close.
The plunge in value can be tied to the general cryptocurrency market sell-off, despite optimism for a rally since Trump took office, given his support for digital assets. The market has been impacted by broader economic uncertainty triggered by Trump’s trade policies.
Most of Trump’s holdings, particularly meme coins, were not purchased but received as donations. His investment in non-fungible tokens (NFTs) is responsible for assets like Ethereum.
World Liberty Financial value spikes
In contrast, the World Liberty Financial (WLFI) portfolio, a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform backed by Trump and his family, recorded a strong performance in the first quarter of 2025.
The digital asset investment firm’s holdings grew from $72.82 million on January 1 to $82.51 million by March 31, marking a 13.31% increase over the quarter.
One of the most notable WLFI increases came from stablecoin USDT, which surged from $1.57 million to $11.19 million, a 612.87% spike. Likewise, Wrapped Tron (WTRX) saw a significant boost, reaching $9.45 million with the acquisition of 40.72 million units.
This aggressive expansion aligns with the entity’s pledge to revolutionize cryptocurrency, which mirrors Trump’s pledge to make the U.S. the capital of digital currencies.
While the overall World Liberty portfolio grew, this reflects the firm’s acquisitions rather than a direct rise in cryptocurrency prices.
