Here’s How Much Crypto President Trump Owns

President Trump is a whale! A big, fat crypto whale!

For those who don’t know, a ‘whale’ is someone who owns a sizable amount of cryptocurrency.

The reigning orthodoxy says an individual must hold at least 20 Bitcoin (or equivalent) to be considered a whale. At the time of this writing, 20 Bitcoin equals $571,320.

According to recent financial disclosures, President Trump holds roughly $2.8 million in Ethereum—the largest alternative crypto altcoin.

Additionally, the 45th President of the United States earned roughly $4.9 million from selling NFTs. …

This makes the previously reported figure of $250,000 look like chump change. …It also highlights just how much the former President’s attitude has changed regarding cryptocurrencies and digital assets.

Iren Barnes writes: “Previously, the former president criticized cryptocurrencies and called them a “scam”. In a nutshell about what you need to know about the behavior of “whales.”

Decrypt had this to report on Trump-themed NFT collections:

Sales of the tokens took off in the months following their release last December, including a brief surge after his first indictment by a state court in New York.

However, their value sank soon after the candidate launched a second batch in April that crashed the first set’s value.
