American Bitcoin, WLFI Drag Trump’s Crypto Portfolio Down

Thanks @Coachjv_. Today our pre-merger private placement shares unlocked — these early investors are freely available to cash in on their profits for the first time which is why we will see volatility.
Our fundamentals are virtually unmatched and our differentiator: mining BTC… https://t.co/7h1Aqjt8iE

Other Trump Family-Linked Projects See Greater Fall
Apart from American Bitcoin, other Trump family-linked projects have seen a greater fall. World Liberty Financial, co-founded by President Donald Trump and his sons, has seen its WLFI token drop 51% from its early-September peak.
Similarly, Alt5 Sigma (NASDAQ: ALTS), a firm promoted by the Trump sons, has plunged about 75% amid mounting legal challenges. On the six-month chart, the ALTS share price has tanked by a massive 85%.
A series of memecoins themed around the president and his wife, Melania Trump, have declined roughly 90% and 99% respectively, from record highs reached in January. Latest reports suggest that the family projects have collectively lost upwards of $1 billion during the recent crypto market crash.

Trump’s support for the industry helped drive gains across numerous crypto tokens in the early months of his second term. However, the chips have fallen over the past two months.
Speaking to Bloomberg, Hilary Allen, a law professor at American University’s Washington College of Law, said:
“The Trump presidency has been a double edged sword for legitimacy. Trump started launching his own crypto projects, many of which lost value very quickly. If the goal was to achieve legitimacy through the Trump family, that’s not helped.”
President Trump started his second tenure in 2025, with strong support for the crypto projects. Experts believed that it could help lift cryptocurrencies out of their typical boom-and-bust cycle and push them toward greater legitimacy within the financial system. However, the market has been subject to strong volatility amid growing macro uncertainties.
