Consumer advocacy group Public Citizen put five crypto ventures tied to Donald Trump into one table and totted up what they cost the people who bought in.
What buyers lost
• $TRUMP meme coin — $3.2bn
• $WLFI governance token — at least $1bn
• Trump Media’s digital-asset treasury — $450m
• Trump Digital Trading Cards — $9.3m
• USD1 stablecoin — zero
At least $4.7bn in total. On the other side sits $1.4bn, what Trump himself made on crypto in 2025 according to his own financial disclosure released in June 2026.
The report carries its own caveat: the losses are largely unrealised, and on the meme coin they reflect wealth transferred to a small group of early buyers rather than money that vanished. This is an advocacy group’s estimate, not an audit.
