President Donald Trump’s cryptocurrency holdings have plunged since his inauguration on January 20, 2025, falling below the $1 million mark.
The drop marks a sharp reversal from the optimism that surrounded his return to the White House and his crypto-friendly stance.
According to data from Arkham Intelligence, the portfolio comprising crypto holdings linked to a public wallet address attributed to Trump was valued at $11.49 million on inauguration day but has since fallen to $704,845 as of press time. This represents a net decline of $10.76 million, or about 94%.
A breakdown of the portfolio shows that TROG, once the largest holding at $5.38 million, has dropped to $212,460 after a 96% price decline from $0.000026 to $0.000001, with holdings unchanged at 210.35 billion tokens.
The TRUMP token fell 98.6% from $2.76 to $0.039, cutting its value from $1.6 million to $22,470, while holdings remained at 579,290 units. GUA declined 99.1% from $0.00038 to $0.0000034, shrinking from $532,520 to $4,690, with 1.39 billion tokens still held.
Meanwhile, Ethereum ($ETH) and Wrapped Ethereum also weighed on performance. $ETH dropped from $1.64 million to $13,060 as holdings were reduced from 495.83 to 6.65 alongside a 40.4% price decline. WETH fell from $1.59 million to $879 after units were cut from 482.22 to 0.45.
Why Trump crypto portfolio has taken a hit
The decline in Trump’s cryptocurrency portfolio reflects broader market volatility and asset-specific pressures.
Meme coins such as TROG, driven largely by political hype and speculation, slumped as enthusiasm faded, triggering heavy sell-offs and liquidity drains.
Additionally, significant $ETH liquidations point to strategic sales or reallocations during a wider crypto correction fueled by economic headwinds.
By late 2025 and early 2026, bearish sentiment had taken hold, with altcoins and meme tokens hit hardest as investor risk appetite weakened.
The losses contrast sharply with expectations surrounding Trump’s return to office in January 2025, when a pro-crypto stance and promises of lighter regulation and blockchain support sparked optimism and early rallies in related tokens.
Analysts had projected strong first-year gains driven by political tailwinds and adoption momentum.
However, as policy changes fell short of aggressive deregulation hopes, amid congressional gridlock and global economic pressures, the anticipated surge failed to materialize, accelerating the portfolio’s reversal.
