Trump filing shows he took in about $1.2 billion from crypto businesses last year

A recent federal filing reveals that President Donald Trump earned approximately $1.2 billion from his cryptocurrency ventures over the past year. These new crypto businesses have grown rapidly, surpassing the revenue of many of his long-standing property holdings. A significant portion of this income originated from World Liberty Financial and CIC Digital LLC, which sold crypto products and souvenir meme coins. Despite the substantial revenue generated by these assets, their market values have experienced sharp declines since their initial sales. Furthermore, Trump earned millions from selling branded merchandise such as Bibles, sneakers, and watches. While his traditional property business also expanded, critics have raised concerns about the overlap between his government policy decisions and his private business interests. The administration maintains that Trump’s businesses are managed by his sons and that he remains focused on the public interest. However, the report highlights lucrative deals in various countries that coincided with significant U.S. policy actions benefiting those nations. The disclosure provides a glimpse into the significant growth of Trump's personal wealth during his time in office, though it does not provide specific profit figures.
