According to a recent report from Forbes, US President Trump currently indirectly holds approximately $870 million worth of Bitcoin, potentially making him one of the world's largest Bitcoin investors.
The report indicates that Trump's substantial Bitcoin exposure is indirectly derived from his stake in Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG).
TMTG, which operates the social platform Truth Social, has a market capitalization that has soared to billions of dollars thanks to its Nasdaq listing, despite currently generating less than $4 million in annual revenue.
This demonstrates the market's strong interest in its brand and prospects. Notably, earlier this year, TMTG successfully raised $2.3 billion through debt and the sale of overvalued shares. Subsequently, in July, the company used approximately $2 billion of this capital to purchase Bitcoin, garnering significant attention in the cryptocurrency market.
Since TMTG's investment, Bitcoin prices have risen by approximately 6%.
This increase has brought the value of Trump's Bitcoin holdings, through his TMTG stake, to approximately $870 million. This investment not only significantly increased Trump's personal asset allocation but also sparked widespread discussion about the trend of publicly traded companies investing in crypto assets.
Some analysts believe that TMTG's decision to invest in Bitcoin reflects both the company's recognition of digital currencies as a store of value and its marketing strategy driven by its brand and Trump's public image.
As Bitcoin gradually enters the mainstream financial landscape, such a large-scale corporate holding undoubtedly further blurs the boundaries between traditional finance and the crypto ecosystem.
