Suh-WEET! Adjudicated Rapist slash Convicted Felon with PRO-CRYPTO POLICIES has $870 million in Crypto holdings.
Forbes reported Monday that President Donald Trump’s holdings in the cryptocurrency Bitcoin are estimated to be around $870 million — a revelation that, coupled with his administration’s pro-crypto policies, has sparked an online uproar with critics accusing him of “fraud.”
Despite criticizing cryptocurrency as a “scam” as recently as 2021, Trump has gone on to become among the largest Bitcoin investors in the world, having inched closer in recent years to holding $1 billion’s worth of the popular digital currency. This is in addition to Trump’s holdings in his own meme cryptocurrency called “$Trump,” which has reportedly enriched the president to the tune of more than $20 billion.
Critics, however, have noted that Trump’s personal investment in Bitcoin could pay off handsomely given his executive order signed in March that will direct the federal government to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile, a move that would see Americans’ tax dollars be used to invest in Bitcoin, and thereby, raise the value of the digital currency.
“Presidential fraud is glorious,” wrote Julie Bush, a screenwriter for films and television, in a social media post on X Sunday.
