Donald Trump purchased shares of MARA Holdings, Coinbase, and Strategy between January and March 2026, according to his federal financial disclosure filed on May 14. The filing, which runs 113 pages and lists over 3,600 transactions, shows those three as the only crypto-related names in the portfolio. The MARA purchase happened on March 30 in the $15,001 to $50,000 range. A third-party manager handles the holdings, not Trump directly.
What else the filing shows
The Trump family also bought shares of Nvidia, Microsoft, Oracle, and Boeing during the same period, spending between $1 million and $5 million on those stocks. The crypto buys are smaller in dollar terms but stand out because of the industry's political spotlight. MARA is the largest publicly traded Bitcoin miner in the U.S. by market cap. Coinbase is the dominant U.S. exchange. Strategy holds more Bitcoin on its balance sheet than any other public firm.
American Bitcoin posts $82 million loss despite record mining
Separately, American Bitcoin — a mining company backed by Trump family members — reported an $82 million net loss in Q1 2026. The loss came even as the company mined a record 817 BTC during the period. The numbers show that rising hash rate and operating costs are squeezing margins across the mining sector, even for well-connected players.
World Liberty Financial under fire on multiple fronts
World Liberty Financial, the DeFi project tied to the Trump orbit, hit a rough patch this week. Its native WLFI token touched an all-time low after a 16% single-day drop, trading around $0.05 — well below its peak near $0.33. The project also faces a lawsuit from Tron founder Justin Sun, a Wall Street Journal report linking one of its partners to U.S.-sanctioned individuals, and a request from Senator Elizabeth Warren asking the SEC to investigate whether WLFI misled investors or violated securities laws related to a $75 million loan using the token as collateral.
The three fronts of trouble — token price collapse, legal action, and regulatory scrutiny — are piling up faster than the project can respond. No public statement from World Liberty Financial has addressed the senator's letter or the Journal report.
