Public Citizen estimates investors lost at least US$4.7 billion through Donald Trump’s crypto ventures since 2022.

The estimate covers the World Liberty Financial governance token, NFTs, Official Trump (CRYPTO:TRUMP) and Trump Media’s digital asset treasury.

“The president’s policy choices and personal portfolio cannot be separated,” Public Citizen said in its call for ethics rules.

Public Citizen estimates Official Trump (CRYPTO:TRUMP) investors lost US$3.2 billion, while USD1 (CRYPTO:USD1) holders avoided major losses.

The group also estimates Trump earned US$7.2 million from NFT royalties, more than US$600 million from World Liberty token sales.

The proposed Digital Asset Market Clarity Act faces a Senate cloture vote on September 15, requiring at least 60 votes.

Trump’s 2025 financial disclosures reported US$1.4 billion in earnings tied to crypto, according to the report.

At the time of reporting, Official Trump price was $2.79.
