Multiple reports cite US financial disclosure filings and third-party estimates to describe a sharp increase in Donald Trump’s wealth tied to cryptocurrency. The Washington Post says Trump earns more than US$1 billion from cryptocurrency and related coin ventures in the prior year, based on nearly 1,000 pages of financial disclosure forms. It reports that these crypto-related earnings far exceed his roughly US$600 million total income figure for 2024, alongside other sources such as settlements and resorts.
Channel NewsAsia and Free Malaysia Today both frame the change in the context of broader wealth growth, saying Trump’s involvement in the cryptocurrency sector is a key driver of a near tripling in his personal fortune. They attribute the overall increase—citing Forbes estimates—to growth from about US$2.3 billion to about US$6.5 billion between 2024 and 2026.
While the outlets differ in emphasis and in the specific year highlighted in their descriptions, they converge on the central claim that crypto activities play a major role in Trump’s financial gains, as reflected in filings and summarized by Forbes.
