Trump extraction timeline
Built from the Gold Paper, White House orders, SEC actions, public disclosures, company statements, blockchain analysis, and major investigations including MASTR, WSJ, ABC, and Fortune.
12/16/2021
Melania entered the NFT business. The monetization phase had already started.
12/15/2022
Trump launched his first NFT trading cards at $99 each. Politics became digital merchandise.
12/2023
The Georgia mugshot became another product. The MugShot Edition tied 47 card purchases to a suit fragment and a Mar a Lago dinner invite.
08/27/2024
The “America First” NFT collection followed. Buy 15 cards, get a piece of the debate suit. Buy 75, get a gala dinner. Brand loyalty was now a purchase tier.
09/16/2024
World Liberty Financial was unveiled on X Spaces. The Gold Paper later showed the structure plainly: 100 billion $WLFI, 30% to co founders, no profit rights for holders, 22.5 billion $WLFI plus 75% of net protocol revenue to DT Marks DEFI LLC, and 7.5 billion plus 25% to AMG and WC Digital Fi LLC.
The same document’s supporting team listed 12 people, including 4 Trumps and 3 Witkoffs.
10/15/2024
The $WLFI sale went live. Buyers quickly learned what the fine print meant: governance cosplay for the public, cash flow for insiders.
11/25/2024
Justin Sun entered with $30 million while facing SEC fraud pressure. He later said his total commitment rose to $75 million and became an adviser.
01/16/2025
Four days before the inauguration, a UAE linked firm associated with Sheikh Tahnoon signed a $500 million deal for a 49% stake in World Liberty. The deal did not surface publicly until February 2026. Months later came the chip approvals.
01/17/2025
$TRUMP launched 3 days before the inauguration. Only 200 million coins entered circulation. 800 million stayed with CIC Digital and Fight Fight Fight.
Within 2 weeks, estimates put trading fees at roughly $86 million to $100 million while about 200000+ Meteora wallets were already losing.
01/19/2025
$MELANIA launched and extended the family memecoin cycle. Both tokens later crashed hard from their early peaks.
01/19 to 01/20/2025
During inauguration days, World Liberty’s fundraising accelerated toward nearly $300 million.
In January, the fine print also changed so the Trump side took control through a 60% stake in the controlling entity. The family position tightened as money rushed in.
02/26/2025
The SEC paused its civil fraud case against Justin Sun, citing public interest.
03/06/2025
Trump signed Executive Order 14233 creating the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and the United States Digital Asset Stockpile. The government was now formally directed to hold BTC while the family was already deep in crypto.
03/24/2025
Trump Media partnered with Crypto com to launch crypto and “Made in America” investment products through Truth Fi.
03/25/2025
World Liberty announced USD1, backed by Treasuries, dollars, and cash equivalents, after raising more than $550 million from $WLFI sales.
03/28/2025
Trump pardoned BitMEX co founders Arthur Hayes, Benjamin Delo, and Samuel Reed. Gregory Dwyer and the BitMEX operating entity were cleared too. Another crypto legal burden vanished.
All 3 received presidential pardons. Then the company itself was pardoned. $100 million in fines cancelled.
03/31/2025
Eric Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and Hut 8 launched American Bitcoin. Hut 8 folded most of its mining operations into the venture for an 80% stake. America First? Hut 8 is canadian.
04 2025
MASTR, described as Abu Dhabi based, bought $25 million of World Liberty tokens.
04/23/2025
Trump offered the top 220 $TRUMP buyers a private gala dinner. By then, Chainalysis estimated the coin had already generated at least $350 million in fees for connected entities.
05/01/2025
USD1 was selected to close MGX’s $2 billion investment in CZs Binance. The stablecoin stopped being a slogan and became a transaction rail. MGX is chaired by Sheikh Tahnoon.
05/12/2025
The dinner contest closed with $147.6 million in time weighted $TRUMP holdings across the top 220. Since launch,
592962 wallets had lost about $3.9 billion, while large holders dominated the upside.
05/22/2025
The dinner happened. More than half of the 220 holders were likely based outside the United States.
Justin Sun won first place with an $18.5 million wallet and posted a video from the Executive Office Building the day before. By then, the coin’s operators had earned about $320.19 million in fees, more than 60 large wallets had made close to $1.5 billion, and about 600000 smaller wallets were down $3.9 billion. Presidential access had become a leaderboard prize.
05/27/2025
Trump Media announced a $2.5 billion raise to build a bitcoin treasury: $1.5 billion in stock and $1 billion in convertible notes.
06/14/2025
The public financial disclosure made the machine visible in numbers.
More than $600 million in income across crypto, golf, licensing, and other ventures.
Included were $57.35 million from World Liberty token sales,
$1.16 million from Trump NFTs,
about $216700 from Melania NFT licensing,
about $320 million in estimated $TRUMP fees,
and more than $400 million taken in by the family from World Liberty.
Add watches, sneakers, fragrances, and the Greenwood Bible.
06/25 to 06/27/2025
World Liberty said it was planning a stablecoin audit and a new app. Then Aqua 1, a UAE based fund with a minimal public footprint, announced a $100 million $WLFI purchase, becoming the largest publicly known investor at the time.
07/16/2025
Holders voted to make $WLFI tradable. The family’s token position moved one step closer to open market monetization.
10/23/2025
Trump pardoned Changpeng Zhao. Binance had already boosted the ecosystem by accepting USD1 for the MGX transaction. Several MASTR tweets about Binance-Trump- CZ deals went viral.
10/28/2025
Investigation estimated about $802 million in crypto income for the Trump organization in the first half of 2025 alone.
Roughly $463 million came from World Liberty token sales. About $336 million came from the $TRUMP memecoin.
01/07/2026
World Liberty sought a national trust bank charter focused on USD1 operations.
01/14/2026
Pakistan signed an agreement with a World Liberty affiliate to explore USD1 for cross border payments.
03/13/2026
World Liberty offered “guaranteed direct access” to its business development team for investors willing to lock about $5 million in $WLFI.
Under the project terms, 75% of new token sale revenue flowed to the Trump family, so a $5 million buy effectively routed about $3.75 million their way.
That is the stack.
NFTs.
Mugshot monetization.
Debate suit monetization.
$WLFI extraction.
$TRUMP.
$MELANIA.
Inauguration week token frenzy.
USD1 stablecoin infrastructure.
Dinner access for whales.
American Bitcoin.
Truth. Fi and crypto ETFs.
Bitcoin treasury plays.
Foreign capital.
Pardons.
Pay for access.
It was and is a full extraction machine built around brand, office, access, loyalty, speculation, and political proximity.
I am glad people are finally waking up.
But the Witkoffs and the Trumps will keep going until they all end up behind bars.

5 minutes before Trump’s announcement:
* $1.5B notional worth of S&P500 (ES) futures are bought in a single clip.
* $192M notional of oil futures (CL) sold.
More than 4x-6x any other trade size during the market close.

Redemption trade is BTC pumping in this macro environment.
BTC was written off as 'digital gold' as it failed to catch up with gold.
Yet BTC had three unique FUD chokepoints that unraveled last year:
1) Quantum FUD
2) 4-year cycle timing
3) Previous outperformance of gold/equities etc.
BlackRock research found that over the long term, bitcoin’s adoption trajectory is driven by:
- the intensity of concerns over global monetary stability
- geopolitical instability
- U.S. fiscal unsustainability
- U.S. political instability
All of the geopolitical catalysts are in play right now while quantum FUD weakens as solutions are being proposed and 4-year cycle believooors have had time to sell.
Obviously, it's a copium post.
Many things can go wrong as BTC, being the most liquid asset, is the first to sell off in distressed financial situations.
But just as many gave up on it, BTC can still redeem its credibility as digital gold if it continues to outperform.

The “Wikilaundering” scandal is finally blowing wide open and it’s worse than we thought
A massive investigation by The Bureau of Investigative Journalism just exposed the ugly truth: Wikipedia is corrupt to its core
You do not get information. You get propaganda.... articles manipulated by the highest bidder, billionaires, PR firms, and woke activists
Here’s exactly how the rot works:
📍 Shadow Network: London-based PR firms like Portland Communications run secret “black hat” editors and middlemen to bypass every rule
📍 Reputation Scrubbing on Steroids: They delete scandals, human rights abuses, and even controversial Epstein files for powerful politicians...... while scrubbing migrant worker deaths and slave labor scandals for Qatar, covering up ties to terrorists, and burying corporate crimes for billionaire clients
📍 The Price of Truth: Billionaires and corporations pay huge money to bury failures and push lies while their “achievements” sit at the top
📍 Gatekeeping at Scale: A tiny insider group controls what billions see as “fact”
Wikipedia is not an encyclopedia
It’s a bought-and-paid-for propaganda brochure run for the elite and woke activists
This is exactly why Elon was hell-bent on creating Grokipedia.......the exact opposite: information that can’t be corrupted, altered by price, and is written by real AI that delivers raw data and unfiltered truth instead of the sanitized woke lies sold to the highest bidder
Stop trusting the laundered version of reality

Vitalik Buterin said the world is increasingly facing government and corporate surveillance, wars, and the deterioration of social media, while Ethereum has played only a limited role in improving real-world freedom, privacy, and digital security. He argued Ethereum should not be confined to finance but become part of a broader ecosystem of “sanctuary technologies,” using open-source tools to create resilient digital spaces where people can communicate, collaborate, manage risk and wealth, and organize communities under external pressures. xitter.cf/VitalikButerin/status/…
Over the past year, many people I talk to have expressed worry about two topics:
* Various aspects of the way the world is going: government control and surveillance, wars, corporate power and surveillance, tech enshittification / corposlop, social media becoming a memetic warzone, AI and how it interplays with all of the above...
* The brute reality that Ethereum seems to be absent from meaningfully improving the lives of people subject to these things, even on the dimensions we deeply care about (eg. freedom, privacy, security of digital life, community self-organization)
It is easy to bond over the first, to commiserate over the fact that beauty and good in the world seems to be receding and darkness advancing, and uncaring powerful people in high places are making this happen. But ultimately, it is easy to acknowledge problems, the hard thing is actually shining a light forward, coming up with a concrete plan that makes the situation better.
The second has been weighing heavily on my mind, and on the minds of many of our brightest and most idealistic Ethereans. I personally never felt any upset or fear when political memecoins went on Solana, or various zero-sum gambling applications go on whatever 250 millisecond block chain strikes their fancy. But it *does* weigh on me that, through all of the various low-grade online memetic wars, international overreaches of corporate and government power, and other issues of the last few years, Ethereum has been playing a very limited role in making people's lives better. What *are* the liberating technologies? Starlink is the most obvious one. Locally-running open-weights LLMs are another. Signal is a third. Community Notes is a fourth, tackling the problem from a different angle.
One response is to say "stop dreaming big, we need to hunker down and accept that finance is our lane and laser-focus on that". But this is ultimately hollow. Financial freedom and security is critical. But it seems obvious that, while adding a perfectly free and open and sovereign and debasement-proof financial system would fix some things, but it would leave the bulk of our deep worries about the world unaddressed. It's okay for individuals to laser-focus on finance, but we need to be part of some greater whole that has things to say about the other problems too.
At the same time, Ethereum cannot fix the world. Ethereum is the "wrong-shaped tool" for that: beyond a certain point, "fixing the world" implies a form of power projection that is more like a centralized political entity than like a decentralized technology community.
So what can we do? I think that we in Ethereum should conceptualize ourselves as being part of an ecosystem building "sanctuary technologies": free open-source technologies that let people live, work, talk to each other, manage risk and build wealth, and collaborate on shared goals, in a way that optimizes for robustness to outside pressures.
The goal is not to remake the world in Ethereum's image, where all finance is disintermediated, all governance happens through DAOs, and everyone gets a blockchain-based UBI delivered straight to their social-recovery wallet. The goal is the opposite: it's de-totalization. It's to reduce the stakes of the war in heaven by preventing the winner from having total victory (ie. total control over other human beings), and preventing the loser from suffering total defeat. To create digital islands of stability in a chaotic era. To enable interdependence that cannot be weaponized.
Ethereum's role is to create "digital space" where different entities can cooperate and interact. Communications channels enable interaction, but communication channels are not "space": they do not let you create single unique objects that canonically represent some social arrangement that changes over time. Money is one important example. Multisigs that can change their members, showing persistence exceeding that of any one person or one public key, are another. Various market and governance structures are a third. There are more.
I think now is the time to double down, with greater clarity. Do not try to be Apple or Google, seeing crypto as a tech sector that enables efficiency or shininess. Instead, build our part of the sanctuary tech ecosystem - the "shared digital space with no owner" that enables both open finance and much more. More actively build toward a full-stack ecosystem: both upward to the wallet and application layer (incl AI as interface) and downward to the OS, hardware, even physical/bio security levels.
Ultimately, tech is worthless without users. But look for users, both individual and institutional, for whom sanctuary tech is exactly the thing they need. Optimize payments, defi, decentralized social, and other applications precisely for those users, and those goals, which centralized tech will not serve. We have many allies, including many outside of "crypto". It's time we work together with an open mind and move forward.

I stopped using AI for writing, and at first, it felt like I lost a part of my brain.
For months, AI had been my silent co-writer. Need an idea? AI. Stuck on a sentence? AI. Want a better hook? AI.
