Trump took in nearly $1.2bn from his crypto businesses last year

President Donald Trump took in nearly 1.2 billion dollars from his crypto businesses last year, a federal filing shows.

Trump got more than 500 million dollars from his World Liberty Financial business selling new crypto products, including "governance tokens," while another crypto business took in more than 600 million dollars from sales of "meme" coins.

Trump says he's not involved in his finances and claims stock market gains boosted his fortune.

TRUMP: "Well, I've made a lot of money before I became president. And they invest my money and I don't talk to them. I never I don't even speak to them. So I have many people I don't know what they call it closed accounts or something. You put your money in and that's it. I don't talk to them. They're big institutions and they run it. But yeah, I've had a great career. In business, I've had a great career."

The 927-page disclosure form paints a stark, if incomplete picture of the massive growth of the president's wealth since taking office last January through a web of business interests, many of which have benefited from the policy moves of Trump's own government.

Trump rejects the conflict of interest protections his recent predecessors in office had instituted.

Forbes estimates Trump's net worth at 6 billion dollars, up from 2.3 billion dollars in 2024.

The rise of crypto relative to Trump's property is especially noteworthy because he first rode to office boasting of his property wins.

It's also remarkable because that mainstay business also boomed last year.

Trump took in tens of millions in fees from a flurry of new hotel, resort and condo deals overseas that amounts to the biggest property expansion ever in the century since the family business was founded.

Many of those countries were negotiating with the US over tariffs, military aid and other important matters while the family business was striking the deals.
