Trump Family Doubles Down on Crypto Stocks Despite Heavy Losses in Digital Assets

by

Trump family bought Coinbase and Strategy shares amid crypto losses

In early 2026, Donald Trump and his family increased their investments in stocks connected to cryptocurrency, including Coinbase, MARA Holdings, and Strategy. This happened even as several digital asset projects supported by Trump continued to lose money.

Summary

  • Trump family disclosures showed multiple Q1 purchases of Coinbase, MARA Holdings, and Strategy shares.
  • Strategy stock appeared in eight separate Trump family transactions, including both purchases and sales.

A government ethics filing shows the Trump family bought crypto-related stocks between January and March, including at least nine transactions involving Coinbase Global Inc.

The largest cryptocurrency-related stock trade reported in the filing was a Coinbase purchase made on February 10th, valued between $100,001 and $250,000.

The disclosure also showed that Donald Trump and his family made smaller purchases of MARA Holdings stock in two separate transactions, each worth less than $50,000. They were also actively trading Strategy’s Class A stock, with eight different buys and sells reported during the quarter. The largest purchase of Strategy stock occurred on February 12th and was valued between $50,001 and $100,000, while their largest sale, on January 12th, was worth between $15,001 and $50,000.

The fund also bought stock in companies like Block, Robinhood, and SoFi Technologies. Beyond cryptocurrency, they invested between $1 million and $5 million in Nvidia, Microsoft, Oracle, and Boeing.

As an analyst, I’ve reviewed the Office of Government Ethics filings, and it’s important to understand how they present financial information. These disclosures combine the assets of Donald Trump, Melania Trump, and their children who are financially dependent on them. While every transaction over $1,000 is reported, the filings don’t specify *which* family member made each individual trade – it’s a combined overview of their holdings.

Crypto investments expand as Trump-linked firms absorb market losses

New information surfaced just days after several cryptocurrency companies with ties to Donald Trump announced significant losses for the last quarter, mainly due to declining prices of digital currencies.

Trump Media & Technology Group recently reported a net loss of $405.9 million for the first quarter of 2026. The company said most of this loss came from the decreased value of its investments in Bitcoin, Cronos, other digital assets, and stocks. As of the end of March, Trump Media held 9,542 Bitcoins, which they originally purchased for around $1.13 billion. However, the value of those Bitcoins had fallen to approximately $647 million by the time the report was filed.

Trump Media also revealed it holds around 756 million Cronos tokens as part of its deal with Crypto.com. Previous reporting by crypto.news indicated this arrangement was a financial strategy involving Trump Media, Crypto.com, and Yorkville.

Although Trump Media reported quarterly revenue of just $871,200, the company says it brought in $17.9 million in cash from its operations and has about $2.1 billion in assets. According to interim CEO Kevin McGurn, they plan to use their strong financial position to continue developing new financial products and expanding their platform.

American Bitcoin, a cryptocurrency company supported by Donald Trump, recently reported significant losses for the quarter. This followed a drop in Bitcoin’s value, which lowered the value of the company’s Bitcoin reserves.

American Bitcoin lost $81.8 million in the first quarter of 2026, largely due to a non-cash loss of $117.2 million related to the value of its Bitcoin. However, CEO Mike Ho stated that their Bitcoin mining operations were still profitable if you don’t include accounting adjustments required by Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) rules.

American Bitcoin significantly increased its Bitcoin holdings last quarter, producing 817 BTC – a new record for the company. They also bought an additional 803 BTC to add to their reserves. According to co-founder Eric Trump, this rapid growth has made American Bitcoin one of the top 16 largest Bitcoin holders globally, just months after becoming a publicly traded company.
