Trump launched his own memecoin in 2024, and his wife, Melania, launched hers shortly afterward.

特朗普于2024年推出了自己的成员，他的妻子梅拉尼亚（Melania）不久后推出了自己的成员。

Two companies, CIC Digital LLC and Fight Fight Fight LLC, collectively own 80% of Trump’s token, which has a paper value of over $14 billion, according to his memecoin’s website.

CIC Digitally共同与另一家名为Celebration Card LLC的公司搏击战斗，该公司由Wyoming LLC律师的公司律师助理安德鲁·皮尔斯（Andrew Pierce）在怀俄明州注册。

Pierce’s firm specializes in setting up anonymous shell companies and asset protection planning, according to its website. Pierce did not respond to a request for comment.

根据其网站，Pierce的公司专门建立匿名的壳牌公司和资产保护计划。皮尔斯没有回应置评请求。

Because Celebration Cards is set up through a third party, little is known about its ownership or financials.

Several other companies connected to Trump’s businesses, such as his line of sneakers, are also registered in Pierce’s name and are similarly opaque.

Sales of WLFI, the project’s governance token, have generated around $385 million.

While Trump and his family don't directly own World Liberty Financial, they do receive funds from the venture.

The protocol keeps the first $30 million raised through WLFI sales, per the project’s documentation. Anything raised after that goes to three separate entities.

In 2022, Trump made his first foray into crypto when he released NFTs depicting him as a muscled superhero, a gun-bearing hunter, and other comic book-like images.

2022年，特朗普释放了NFTS，将他描绘成肌肉发达的超级英雄，带枪的猎人和其他漫画般的图像时，他首次涉足加密货币。

The idea came from Bill Zanker, a confidante who co-authored a book with Trump in 2007, who approached the then-presidential candidate on launching his own NFTs, reported Bloomberg News.

据《彭博新闻》报道，这个想法来自比尔·扎克（Bill Zanker）。

CIC Digital licenses Trump’s name to the firm NFT INT LLC, which isn’t owned by Trump himself, according to his website.
