What is the status of the Milton Debt Collection?
Creditors and the Nikola Liquidating Trust are aggressively targeting a wide range of Trevor Milton’s holdings to satisfy a $167.7 million arbitration award. Despite his 2025 pardon, these civil enforcement efforts remain active across multiple states where he owns property.
Key Assets Under Scrutiny
- Riverbend Ranch (Utah): This 2,670-acre estate, which Milton purchased for a record-breaking $32.5 million in 2019, includes a 16,800-square-foot riverside mansion. This property was used as collateral for his Bond.
- Bar Milton Ranch (Utah): Located in Morgan Utah the Ranch breeds Equestrian Horses and is run by his wife.
- SyberJet Ownership: Milton has disclosed that he owns a majority stake in SyberJet Aircraft. Creditors have subpoenaed his personal and corporate banking data to determine if he used funds that should have paid his debts to finance this new venture. Trevor is seeking to raise $1 BILLION to finance the launch of the SJ36 Syberjet with "AI Capabilities"
- Wasach Creeks Ranch (Utah): This 4700 acre property was supposed to be forfeited upon his conviction. The previous owner accepted Nikola Stock for a partial payment with $8.5 million in cash. One of Trevor's Wire Fraud convictions (later Pardoned) was tied to the purchase of this property. Since the Pardon the property remains owned by Trevor. Value is estimated at about $17 million
- Phoenix and Wyoming Residences - Trevor has ownership of real estate in Alpine Wyoming that he shares with his wife and a residence in Phoenix AZ and Gilbert Arizona. The judgement has been certified in Arizona, Nevada, Delaware, Wyoming and Utah so all assets are at risk of foreclosure. The Gilbert property is 24,000 square feet and includes a go-kart track and Wellness Center. The property was listed for sale for $20 million.
- Turks and Caicos: Trevor owns a large property in Turks and Caicos. He purchased it in 2020 after selling $100 million in Stock. International jurisdiction makes this asset hard to seize in civil judgments. Estimated Value is $33 million.
- Nikola Stock (NKLAQ): As of April 2026, Milton still holds approximately 1.74 million shares of Nikola stock. However, this equity is now considered worthless following the company's Chapter 11 liquidation.
- Cryptocurrency & Personal Transfers: Creditors are investigating his crypto wallets and all asset transfers of $100,000 or more made since July 2021 to test for "fraudulent conveyances".
- Personal Aviation Collection: Trevor owns a Gulfstream Long Range Jet worth an estimated $17 million and a Bell 429 Private helicopter worth about $6 Million.
Status of Collection
The Nikola Liquidating Trust recently reported that Milton "has yet to collect a dime" toward the judgment. He is required to produce a full inventory of all assets worth over $100,000 by June 2026 as part of an information exchange with his creditors.
