Newly revealed documents shed light on former President Donald Trump’s active involvement in the flourishing non-fungible token (NFT) realm, with potential Ethereum holdings valued at up to $500,000.
Recent financial records unveil a notable presence in the cryptocurrency landscape, intricately intertwined with a thriving venture into NFTs.
According to financial disclosures, Trump’s Ethereum wallet showcases a substantial balance ranging between $250,000 and $500,000. This foray into NFTs materialized after his tenure as president.
Particularly noteworthy is Trump’s success in the realm of limited edition $99 trading cards, which depicted him in various scenarios, ranging from hunting attire to a superhero persona. Despite controversies over unauthorized copyrighted images, both releases rapidly sold out, accumulating a remarkable $8.9 million in total revenue.
Since their initial success, the value of these NFTs has experienced a decline, as indicated by data from Coin Gecko.
Trump’s earnings included substantial licensing fees, facilitated through his entity CIC Digital in collaboration with NFT INC LLC.
While Forbes estimates Trump’s net worth at $2.5 billion, his NFT and cryptocurrency endeavors constitute a fraction of his overall wealth. Nevertheless, his bold venture into a domain marked by disputes and debates underscores his unreserved audacity.
