Trump Family's Crypto Ventures Face Losses Amid Business Sale Talks and Market Decline
The Trump family's cryptocurrency ventures have faced significant financial challenges, with AI Financial (formerly Alt5 Sigma) reportedly negotiating to sell its core business for up to $15 million after a previous $750 million acquisition. Meanwhile, American Bitcoin Corp., co-founded by Eric Trump, has seen its shares drop over 95%, erasing more than $600 million of Eric Trump's stake amid a broader crypto market downturn. Despite these losses, President Trump disclosed earnings exceeding $1.4 billion from crypto ventures in 2025, drawing criticism from some political opponents.
