The Eric Trump billionaire 2025 milestone has arrived. The second son of U.S. President Donald Trump officially joined the billionaire ranks after shares of his cryptocurrency mining firm, American Bitcoin, soared during its market debut. His stake in the company, estimated at 73 million shares, briefly pushed his fortune above the billion-dollar threshold.
By the end of the first trading session, shares closed at $8.04, leaving Eric’s personal stake valued at about $590 million. At its peak earlier in the day, his holdings topped $950 million—more than any single Trump family real estate asset. Posting on X, Eric celebrated the milestone with the message: “What a morning!!”
American Bitcoin’s Rise
American Bitcoin, co-founded by Eric Trump, operates mining centers in Texas, Alberta, and Niagara Falls, New York. The company purchased more than 16,000 mining machines in August and now holds 2,443 Bitcoin worth roughly $275 million. However, nearly all of that stockpile—2,234 Bitcoins—was pledged to the company that financed its hardware. Despite only reporting two full-time employees, American Bitcoin’s market valuation has reached $7.3 billion.
Don Jr.’s Role and Family Ventures
Eric’s older brother Donald Trump Jr. also appears in American Bitcoin’s filings as an investor, though his exact stake remains undisclosed. Together, the brothers have been aggressively expanding the family’s footprint in cryptocurrency. Their earlier project, World Liberty Financial, has sold an estimated $1.4 billion worth of tokens since the 2024 election.
The project gained momentum with the launch of USD1, a dollar-pegged stablecoin. It drew international backing when a firm tied to the UAE president invested $2 billion in a crypto exchange using USD1. Regulatory support also played a role; President Trump signed a stablecoin law in July 2025, which boosted confidence across the industry.
Expanding Beyond Crypto
The Trumps are also pursuing deals outside digital assets. Licensing revenue from the family brand climbed from $7 million in 2023 to $45 million in 2024, supported by new agreements in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Romania. Meanwhile, both Eric and Don Jr. joined the advisory board of Dominari Holdings, which assisted them in launching New America Acquisition I Corp., a SPAC targeting $300 million in capital for mergers in technology, healthcare, and logistics.
Don Jr. has further diversified his portfolio with board roles at GrabAGun, an online firearms retailer now trading under ticker “PEW,” and drone company Unusual Machines. His combined stakes in those ventures are valued at more than $4 million.
Conclusion
The rise of Eric Trump billionaire 2025 status shows how deeply the Trump family has tied its wealth to cryptocurrency and global expansion. With American Bitcoin’s bold market entry, World Liberty Financial’s token success, and lucrative licensing deals abroad, the younger Trumps are reshaping their family fortune far beyond real estate.
