A Reuters investigation reveals that crypto ventures tied to the Trump family generated approximately $2.3 billion in pretax income between November 2024 and April 2026, while retail investors in those same projects suffered an estimated $2.25 billion in losses over the same period. The findings suggest a near-direct wealth transfer dynamic, where the family's gains closely mirror ordinary investor losses. Trump-linked crypto businesses outperformed many established players in the digital asset industry during this stretch, benefiting significantly from post-election market momentum. The report raises fresh ethical and regulatory questions about the US President's simultaneous role in shaping crypto policy while profiting from crypto ventures, a conflict critics have flagged repeatedly since Trump's return to the White House.
