Trump Financial Disclosure Shows Massive Crypto Income as Ethics Questions Grow
President Donald Trump’s latest financial disclosure has turned his personal crypto income into a major political accountability story.
Reports based on the disclosure show Trump earned more than $1 billion from cryptocurrency-related ventures, including World Liberty Financial and meme-coin licensing income. AP reported that two crypto businesses produced more than $1.1 billion, while FT reported more than $1.16 billion in crypto-related earnings.
Trump has rejected the idea that he personally directed the investments, saying he does not “get involved” and that advisers or funds manage his money. The White House and Trump Organization have denied conflicts and pointed to the disclosure as evidence of transparency.
