Trump made more than $1 billion from crypto in first year back in office
President Trump took in more than $1.1 billion in crypto earnings last year. He disclosed the earnings on his latest financial disclosure form, which showed the vast array of income streams the president has.
The cryptocurrency earnings include more than $500 million related to World Liberty Financial, the crypto business founded in part by Trump and his sons. It also includes more than $600 million from a company that set up a meme coin related to his inauguration.
The form also shows the large sums Trump earned from properties bearing his name. He took in more than $50 million from both his golf courses in Scotland and near Washington D.C., for example.
Trump products also brought in money — he earned $4.7 million from Trump watches.
The president’s financial disclosure document totals 927 pages. In comparison, President Joe Biden’s 2020 disclosure form was 11 pages long.
