WASHINGTON (AURN News) — A financial disclosure released by the U.S. Office of Government Ethics puts a number on President Donald Trump’s crypto business: more than $1.4 billion in earnings last year.
According to the filings, $635 million of that came from royalties on Trump-branded meme coins. Another $515 million came from token sales connected to World Liberty Financial, a crypto venture Trump’s sons helped launch. He also disclosed $65 million from selling his equity stake in that company.
Crypto now accounts for more income than any other part of Trump’s portfolio.
For scale, his filing runs 927 pages this year. Recent presidents’ disclosures have typically run well under 20 pages.
Asked about the earnings by reporters, Trump said, “The stock market’s going up. Everybody’s profiting.”
The White House maintains outside managers control the president’s investments, and that he has no direct involvement in those decisions.
