## Key points

- Trump Media shares hit a record low after the midterm results.
- WLFI fell below 5 cents, down from 31 cents.
- Trump remains an estimated $2.7bn wealthier than in 2024.

## Summary

Donald Trump’s investment assets fell sharply after Democrats won the midterm elections, adding a financial setback to his weakening political fortunes. The declines matter because the value of several Trump-linked stocks and digital tokens has been associated with perceptions of his popularity.

Trump Media shares fell 11% overnight to just over $5, their lowest level, compared with a peak of $101; Trump has reported owning 114 million shares. World Liberty Financial’s WLFI token dropped below 5 cents from a 2025 high of 31 cents, while the separate $Trump coin fell about 10% overnight to around $1.40. Despite the falls, Forbes estimated in September that Trump was $2.7bn wealthier than when he won the 2024 election; his financial disclosures also show more than $500m in crypto sales last year and ownership of 15 billion WLFI tokens.
