Former U.S. President Donald Trump reportedly holds a significant amount of Ether (ETH) and has profited handsomely from non-fungible token (NFT) licensing deals, according to recent election disclosures. These documents reveal that Trump owns between $1 million and $5 million in Ether, although specific amounts are not detailed. However, blockchain analysis firm Arkham Intelligence estimates his holdings at approximately $3.6 million.
NFT Licensing Income and Future Plans
In addition to his Ether holdings, Trump has made substantial earnings from NFT licensing agreements. He reportedly earned $7.15 million through a deal with a company called NFT INT. His wife, Melania Trump, also benefited from the NFT market, earning $330,609 from NFT sales.
The Trump Digital Trading Cards, a series of NFTs associated with the former president, have seen significant activity on the OpenSea marketplace, with over 15,808 ETH in trading volume since their launch. In July, Trump announced plans to release another NFT collection, signaling ongoing involvement in the digital asset space.
Trump’s Crypto Positioning
Despite his earlier involvement in cryptocurrency, Trump has recently remained silent on the subject during public appearances. Notably, he did not discuss crypto during a recent interview with Elon Musk on X (formerly Twitter) or during a press conference where he addressed various campaign-related topics.
Meanwhile, the Trump Organization, which oversees Trump’s business ventures, has hinted at a new cryptocurrency initiative, according to a report by CoinDesk. This move suggests that the former president’s foray into the digital asset world may continue to evolve.
