Forbes Reports Trump’s Massive Bitcoin Exposure
According to recent reporting by Forbes, President Donald Trump is now estimated to hold $870 million worth of Bitcoin , placing him among the biggest individual investors in the asset class. The holdings are not direct—instead, they arise from his 41% stake in Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), which itself purchased a substantial amount of BTC .
This structure means Trump’s Bitcoin exposure doesn’t appear on his official personal disclosures, making the scale of the investment more opaque but no less significant.
How the $870M Figure Was Calculated
Forbes estimates that TMTG bought a large Bitcoin reserve—valuation pegged at $2.1 billion in aggregate. Given Trump’s 41% share in TMTG after some dilution, his pro rata share translates to the ~$870 million figure.
The media company’s pivot into Bitcoin reshapes its identity from a social platform operator to a corporate Bitcoin holder. Despite low annual revenues, TMTG’s aggressively financed acquisition strategy underscored its new treasury‑asset role.
Implications & Questions
If accurate, these holdings mark a striking shift in both political and financial positioning:
- Trump would join a shortlist of political figures with mega crypto exposure
- His financial interests would be deeply intertwined with Bitcoin’s price performance
- Conflicts of interest may arise given his decisions relating to crypto policy
- Transparency and disclosure pressures will likely increase
That said, the claim depends heavily on private valuations, assumptions about internal share ownership, and the true size of TMTG’s BTC reserves. Skeptics will want to see more concrete evidence—wallet addresses, audited filings, or public disclosures—to fully validate the $870M estimate.
