White House Director Invests In Xrp And Ada, Is Trump Next?

Thomas Thorgersen, Special Assistant to President Donald Trump and Director of the White House Travel Office, reported having crypto holdings in XRP and ADA, according to a financial disclosure filed with the white house official website. 

His crypto assets are held in a Coinbase wallet, with both cryptocurrencies valued between $1,001 and $15,000 each.

Before his White House appointment in January 2025, Thorgersen served as director of strategic operations for President Trump’s campaign when he was running for the 2024 presidential election and also the Republican National Committee, where he earned a combined total of $232,000 in annual salary.

Meanwhile, President Trump also revealed some of his crypto holdings a few days ago when he celebrated his 79th birthday.

In his 2025 financial disclosure filed on June 13, Trump reported earning over $57.4 million from his crypto project, World Liberty Financial (WLFI). This is a DeFi venture he backs along with his sons, Donald Jr. and Eric Trump.

The filing also shows that the President holds 15.75 billion governance tokens in WLFI, which grants him voting power. Although the exact value of the tokens wasn’t listed, the report states he earned $57 million through token sales.

Trump’s filing also mentions past digital ventures like his Trump Digital Trading Cards NFTs, which previously earned him $7 million, including $4 million after taxes. However, he does not seem to have new NFT revenue this year.

He also retains executive roles in crypto-linked firms like CIC Digital and CIC Ventures, though those entities are marked as having little or no active income.

Both Trump and Thorgersen certified their filings as “true, complete, and correct,” and all data remains publicly accessible for transparency. This is not even close to the total holding the President has.

According to Arkham, Trump has over $1.5 million invested in cryptocurrencies with TROG token being the most he invested in. In short, the President’s total investment in the crypto space can only be estimated as official numbers have not been made public.

Since he has announced XRP and ADA to be a part of the crypto reserve and is rumored to meet Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, he might look to increase his crypto holdings via these altcoins. However, as of yet, these plans are not official.
