Trump Made $1 Billion on Crypto Deals While His Fans Lost a Fortune

Morten Christensen made a big bet on digital tokens sold by the Trump family's World Liberty Financial last year, hoping that a surge in value might be enough to help him retire.

Instead, the value of those tokens tanked. While Christensen and many like him lost big, the president made a fortune, netting $800 million from that crypto project, according to a financial disclosure he filed this week.

"In crypto, people say a game is a game," the digital-asset entrepreneur said. "He played a better game than I did."
