Former President Donald Trump’s Crypto Holdings Surpass $10 Million, Driven by TRUMP Token
Former United States President Donald Trump’s Crypto Holdings Surpass $10 Million
Former President Donald Trump’s foray into the world of cryptocurrency has proven to be a lucrative one, with his on-chain assets briefly surpassing $10 million on Monday. This milestone was primarily driven by his largest tokenholding, TRUMP, which saw a surge in value.
According to blockchain intelligence firm Arkham, Trump’s crypto portfolio reached the seven-figure mark on May 27, thanks to the MAGA memecoin, TRUMP, hitting an all-time high of $13.24. The former president holds 579,290 TRUMP tokens, valued at around $6.79 million.
Trump’s interest in cryptocurrency was evident when he expressed his support for the industry on May 25, stating, “I am very positive and open-minded to cryptocurrency companies, and all things related to this new and burgeoning industry.” His campaign even launched a fundraising page for crypto donations on May 21.
However, the value of TRUMP has since declined by 8.8%, causing Trump’s overall portfolio to retreat to $9.5 million as crypto markets experienced a downturn on May 28. Despite this setback, the memecoin has still surged by 53% in the past week following Trump’s endorsements.
In addition to TRUMP, Trump also holds a significant amount of Ether (ETH) and MVP tokens. His ETH holdings are worth around $1.79 million, while his million MVP tokens are valued at approximately $473,000. MVP is another memecoin that offers rewards and supports donations to the Trump election campaign.
While Trump’s crypto holdings have seen fluctuations in value, his venture into the world of digital assets has certainly caught the attention of the crypto community. With his continued support and endorsements, it will be interesting to see how his portfolio evolves in the future.
