The Trump family-linked crypto projects have experienced significant declines recently:

  • American Bitcoin Corp. (ABTC) shares dropped 38% on December 2, with a 75% decrease from September highs.
  • The price of Bitcoin fell by 25% in the same period, but the Bitcoin mining firm continues to add more BTC to its reserves.
  • Eric Trump attributed ABTC's stock volatility to the unlock of pre-merger private placement shares, while maintaining that the company’s fundamentals are strong.

Other Trump Family-Linked Projects

  • Alt5 Sigma (ALTS) shares plunged 75%, with an overall 85% drop over six months due to legal challenges.
  • Memecoins themed around Donald and Melania Trump declined by approximately 90% and 99% respectively from their January peaks.
