U.S. President Donald Trump responds to disclosures that his family companies reported major cryptocurrency and “meme coin” income in 2025. Multiple outlets report that Trump said he did nothing illegal and that there is “nothing wrong” with the gains. He also told CNBC that he was not aware of the extent of his family’s digital-asset holdings, according to Bloomberg.
The reported figures stem from financial disclosures Trump’s representatives submitted earlier in the week, which several sources describe as showing at least $1.4 billion in crypto- and memecoin-related earnings for 2025 tied to family business ventures. While Trump denies wrongdoing, critics cited by CoinDesk argue that the president could be profiting from the office while his administration sets or influences rules governing the cryptocurrency industry.
Across the reports, the central points are Trump’s stance that his involvement is legal, his claim of limited knowledge of the holdings’ size, and the disclosed scale of crypto-related earnings associated with family firms.
