Eric Trump, the second son of U.S. President Donald Trump, has officially entered the billionaire list following the rapid increase in the value of American Bitcoin stocks. During trading in September 2025, the market value of his stock holdings reached $950 million, while at the close of the exchange, it was estimated at approximately $590 million.

American Bitcoin and the Expansion of the Cryptocurrency Business
American Bitcoin specializes in mining and accumulating digital assets. It owns over 16,000 mining devices and holds 2,443 BTC, equivalent to $275 million. Despite having only two employees, the company’s market capitalization approaches $7.3 billion. This raises doubts among experts regarding the rationality of such valuations, considering the small team and the scale of operations.
The Trump family is actively expanding its presence in the cryptocurrency market and increasing international licensing. Donald Trump Jr. is also involved in American Bitcoin as an investor, although the size of his stake is not disclosed. Both brothers are engaged in the World Liberty Financial project, which, in addition to its own WLFI token, has issued the stablecoin USD1. This stablecoin is backed by $2 billion in investments from partners in the UAE.
The Impact of New Laws and Business Diversification
In July 2025, the U.S. President signed a law regulating stablecoins. This move has spurred increased investor interest in World Liberty Financial, allowing the company to establish itself among the leaders in the digital asset market. Analysts note that the capitalization of the Trump family’s crypto assets has significantly increased in light of these changes.
Eric Trump is confident that Bitcoin will reach $1 million within a few years.
In addition to cryptocurrency initiatives, Eric and Donald Trump Jr. are actively developing their licensing business. Revenues from international contracts in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Romania rose from $7 million in 2023 to $45 million in 2024. This has become one of the key revenue streams for the family.
To implement investment projects, the brothers are collaborating with Dominari Holdings, which assists in creating new business structures. In the summer of 2025, they founded SPAC New America Acquisition I Corp with the aim of raising $300 million for investments in the technology and logistics sectors.
Donald Trump Jr. has also strengthened his position in business by becoming a board member of the retailer GrabAGun and participating in the company Unusual Machines, which is involved in drone manufacturing.
