The Trump Organization and its affiliates are expanding their presence in the artificial intelligence, defense, and energy sectors. The family has secured $620 million in Pentagon loans for AI infrastructure projects, while investment vehicles like 1789 Capital and Dominari Holdings, used by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, back various AI and defense firms.
In December 2025, Trump Media & Technology Group announced a merger with TAE Technologies, a company developing nuclear fusion plants, in a deal valued at $6 billion. Additionally, the family holds direct stock positions in Dell Technologies, Micron Technology, and GE Vernova to capitalize on the growth in AI hardware and energy demand.
World Liberty Financial, where the Trump family maintains a 38% stake, has generated over $1.4 billion in revenue from token sales. The firm has established a partnership with WorldClaw, a provider of AI models from Chinese companies, some of which are reportedly on US restricted lists.
On September 19–20, President Trump proposed the creation of an AI Force, a military branch modeled after the Space Force, which currently operates with an annual budget of $30 billion. The administration has also implemented executive actions to reduce regulatory barriers for data center construction and energy projects.
