Trump has acquired over $100 million worth of bonds since January.

In the years following his presidency, former US President Donald Trump has seen a substantial increase in his wealth, making his post-presidency the most profitable time after a presidency in American history, according to Forbes.

Trump's financial disclosures from June reveal over $600 million in revenue from various sources, including golf courses, hotels, crypto token sales, and lucrative brand-licensing deals. This diversified portfolio indicates significant gains outside the traditional real estate sector.

One of the most intriguing aspects of Trump's financial growth is his ventures in the digital finance sector. Trump Media & Technology Group, for instance, made a $2 billion Bitcoin purchase, boosting its assets to $3.1 billion despite reporting a $20 million quarterly loss. This aggressive investment in crypto aligns with the growth and less-regulated sectors potentially favored by Trump's policies.

Trump Media's recent $6.4 billion treasury deal with Crypto.com and Yorkville Acquisition, involving over $1 billion in Cronos (CRO) tokens, led to a sharp price jump for the token, illustrating a direct financial benefit tied to politically linked crypto ventures.

The alignment between Trump's investments and his administration's policies is further evident in the sectors that his investments cover. These include financial market deregulation, which could potentially benefit from Trump's "America First" economic stance, which emphasizes deregulation, reshoring manufacturing, and tax breaks.

This strategic alignment is particularly significant after the 2025 extension of the Trump tax reforms via the “One Big Beautiful Bill” (H.R. 1), which permanently enacts various business and individual tax provisions favourable to investors and entrepreneurs.

Trump's political opponents frequently accuse him of conflicts of interest, a claim that has been a topic of debate. Before his political career, Trump was involved in the real estate business. Unlike all presidents before him, Trump was exempt from certain conflict-of-interest rules for federal employees.

However, it's important to note that the White House did not initially comment on these financial transactions, and Forbes did not provide specifics on the sources of Trump's 2024 earnings.

Despite the controversy, Trump claimed to have transferred his companies to a trust managed by his children. Yet, his investments in sectors that could potentially benefit from his administration's policies remain a point of interest.

In conclusion, Donald Trump's wealth has risen significantly through diversified investments, including crypto, licensing, and hospitality, generating over $600 million in revenue in 2024. Trump Media's large Bitcoin purchase and crypto treasury deals exemplify growing investments in sectors tied to political influence and policy outlooks favourable to digital finance. His administration's tax policies and legislative actions have solidified tax advantages for businesses, possibly indirectly enhancing returns in sectors he invested in. This suggests a strategic alignment between his investments and administration policies, contributing to significant wealth gains.
