Betting on Trump 'didn't work out so well' in 2025: report

Investors who believed Donald Trump's ventures were guaranteed moneymakers experienced significant losses in 2025, according to Axios reporter Ben Berkowitz.

According to journalist, a financial bet on Trump by the average retail investor "...didn't work out so well" since he returned to the Oval Office.

Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) stock declined 67 percent since Trump's inauguration, a period during which the broader stock market experienced substantial gains. "The Nasdaq, which includes most of the listed social media companies among its broad array of tech stocks, was up 18% in that time."

Trump-related investments proved particularly volatile. The Trump memecoin experienced a dramatic surge following its January 17 launch before collapsing sharply. "It's down 89% since Jan. 19," while the broader cryptocurrency market declined 16%.

To illustrate the performance disparity, Berkowitz calculated investment outcomes: "a $1,000 investment in the Nasdaq would be worth about $1,184, while the same investment in the SOCL ETF would be worth $1,272 and in Trump Media shares would be worth $331."

The president himself fared considerably better. Forbes estimates Trump's net worth has more than doubled since taking office, driven largely by gains in his cryptocurrency investments.
