I don’t understand how the Trumps made money

OK, this might open up a backlash, but I am truly confused. Bitcoin as well as most cryptocurrencies are down in price from two years ago. How is it that the president made $1.2 billion in crypto over that time? It wasn’t good investing or appreciation of an asset. From where did the profits come? Please don’t respond with snarky comments, pro or con. I am asking because I don’t know and I invest for a living. World Liberty Financial is down 62% over the last two years so the investors in the Trump backed venture have gotten destroyed. Trump’s media venture DJT has also gotten obliterated. How is he profiting in the billions at that same time? I would really only like to hear from supporters of the president because I know what the detractors will say.
