New financial disclosures reported by multiple outlets say U.S. President Donald Trump earned more than US$1 billion from cryptocurrency-related ventures in the year after he returned to the presidency. TIME and The Washington Post cite filings showing that crypto and coin-related income is the largest contributor to his reported earnings, with one report describing total earnings for the prior year as far exceeding his earlier reported income. 7News Australia similarly reports that Trump’s yearly income from cryptocurrency is disclosed as about $2 billion, and it notes that his spokesperson denies any conflict of interest.
Channel NewsAsia and Free Malaysia Today add context by pointing to broader estimates of Trump’s personal wealth and attribute much of the increase to his cryptocurrency involvement, referencing Forbes reporting that his fortune rises substantially between 2024 and 2026. The outlets also reference Trump’s public statements at the start of his second term, including a vow to make the United States the “crypto capital of the world.” The reports rely on the same set of disclosure documents and related financial estimates, though the exact figures cited vary by outlet and time period described.
