\n

The crypto wipeout that vaporized $1 trillion in market value over the past three months has afflicted all corners of the industry\u2014including the numerous crypto ventures tied to President Donald Trump\u2019s family. But while the family\u2019s portfolio is down across the board, some assets have been hit harder than others.<\/p>\n

\n

Since Oct. 10, when the crypto market witnessed what\u2019s since been dubbed the \u201cflash crash,\u201d the worst-performing crypto asset tied to the Trump family has been American Bitcoin\u2019s stock. The Bitcoin mining and holding firm\u2014which is backed by the President\u2019s two sons, Eric and Donald Jr.\u2014has plunged more than the world\u2019s largest cryptocurrency and tanked about 80%. Its market capitalization is just over $1 billion. That\u2019s a far cry from its height of nearly $8.5 billion when the company first went public in September.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The best-performing Trump-tied crypto asset after the digital assets market cratered in October is the First Lady\u2019s memcoin, $MELANIA. The token is down only 27% and experienced a boost prior to the release of Melania Trump\u2019s documentary in late January. Still, the cryptocurrency is down more than 98% from when it launched one day before President Trump\u2019s inauguration last year.<\/p>\n

\n

The depreciation in price of the Trump family\u2019s crypto assets is no different than the recent decline in value of hundreds of other cryptocurrencies in what\u2019s historically been a highly volatile market. But the fluctuations in the Trump family\u2019s crypto holdings are significant because, over the past year, so much of the family\u2019s wealth has become tied to the blockchain industry. (Fortune has a breakdown of the main pillars of the Trump family\u2019s crypto holdings here)<\/p>\n

Historically, the Trumps have made their money from real estate. Estimates now vary, but, in early January, Fortune<\/em> valued the Trump family\u2019s crypto holdings at about $3 billion. That includes stakes in public companies: American Bitcoin, the crypto hoarder ALT5 Sigma, as well as Trump Media & Technology Group, a social media firm that has bought up nearly $1 billion in the world\u2019s largest cryptocurrency.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

There are also three cryptocurrencies: Melania\u2019s memecoin, the President\u2019s memecoin, and a cryptocurrency launched by World Liberty Financial, a crypto business that the President\u2019s sons founded.<\/p>\n

The recent crash in the digital asset market may prompt onlookers to question whether the Trump family\u2019s digital assets portfolio is built to withstand the market\u2019s gyrations in the long term. Still, paper gains or losses may be beside the point. The Trumps have cashed out\u2014in actual dollars\u2014at least $1.2 billion from World Liberty Financial, arguably their most lucrative Trump crypto venture, over the past 16 months, according to a recent analysis from the Wall Street Journal<\/em>.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for World Liberty Financial declined to comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
