- Bitcoin's Poor Performance: Since Donald Trump's inauguration in January 2025, Bitcoin has dropped from $101,000 to below $90,000, marking an 11% decline that highlights the disparity between political promises and actual market performance.
- Trump Family Wealth Growth: The Trump family's net worth has remained flat at $6.8 billion, yet crypto now constitutes one-fifth of their fortune, primarily driven by the success of three ventures including World Liberty Financial.
- Crypto Investment Returns: The family earned approximately $390 million from the sale of $550 million in tokens through World Liberty Financial, alongside another $500 million from a deal with Alt5 Sigma Corp, showcasing their significant influence in the crypto market.
- Market Reaction vs. Policy Impact: Despite Trump's pro-crypto policies, Bitcoin's price fell 11%, indicating that market performance is more influenced by macroeconomic factors than by regulatory support alone.
