More than 26,000 new Bitcoin billions were added in the first half of 2025. But while the cryptomarkt pushed many in the millionaire club, President Donald Trump saw his personal crypto -portfolio take a huge hit -falling more than 78% in just six months.
Yes, we have the same question. How is that possible?
Here is a deep dive.
Bitcoin’s Bull Run creates 26,000+ millionaires
According to Data from Finbold, 26,758 Bitcoin portfolios crossed the $ 1 million between January and June of this year. This brings the total number of Bitcoin billionaires to 182,327 from 30 June.
A strong second quarter and the Halving by Bitcoin in April played an important role in this peak. Halve reduced block reward from 6.25 to 3,125 BTC, pushing the delivery pressure and sending Bitcoin prices that rise. On May 22, Bitcoin reached a peak of $ 111,970, creating a wave of fresh wealth for long -term holders and institutional investors who bought during the DIPs.
Trump’s portfolio is falling
While Bitcoin was climbing, President Trump’s crypto portfolio went the other way.
He started the year with around $ 10.16 million in crypto assets. By the end of June, that figure had fallen to just $ 2.20 million – a loss of more than 78%. Au.
Most of the damage happened in the first quarter, where his interests fell to $ 1.96 million in March. A small recovery added around $ 240,000 in the second quarter. But in general the decline was sharp.
A tweet through John Morgan It summarized: “The Crypto portfolio of Donald Trump loses 78% of the value in the first half of 2025.”
The biggest hold in Trump’s wallet was the Meme Munt Trog, worth more than $ 800,000. Other tokens were Maga (Trump), Matic and USDC – all considered more risky bets, especially in a market that shifts to Fundamentals.
WLFI, linked to the Trump family, sees 115% growth
World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a Defi platform that is supported by the Trump family, has, on the other hand.
The value of the platform grew from $ 72.82 million to $ 178.15 million in the same period of six months, which marked a profit of more than 115%. The performance of WLFI were supported by institutional interest and momentum of US Spot Bitcoin ETF inspections earlier this year.
Unlike Trump’s personal portfolio, WLFI seems to follow a more structured investment strategy and it pays. Hmm, interesting.
New Crypto Act can tighten the rules
On June 23, Senator Adam Schiff introduced the Coin Act, who aims to prevent government officials and their families to prevent them from benefiting crypto investments.
The bill would also make it mandatory to announce all digital assets in their financial files. If adopted, this law may directly affect Trump and the involvement of his family at WLFI – adding legal pressure to the financial setback.
The bill is partly sponsored by nine Senate Democrats, which means that it wins the momentum that it needs.
Strategy about hype
The first half of 2025 made one thing clear: win structured crypto strategies, while Speculative Meme Coin Plays are swept away.
As Bitcoin continues to grow up and the regulations are cited, investors, even controversial, may have to reconsider how they play the game.
