Trump Reveals Family Earned $1.4 Billion from Crypto While Calling Digital Money “A Little Bit Dangerous”

Former President Donald Trump disclosed that his family earned more than $1.4 billion in crypto profits last year, according to his 2025 financial disclosure. The earnings came mainly from a $636 million license deal for the TRUMP meme coin and over $515 million from token sales at World Liberty Financial, the crypto firm he co‑founded with his sons. Trump reiterated his long‑standing wariness of digital currencies during a White House Oval Office press briefing, saying he has “always felt” crypto is “a little bit dangerous.” His comments followed the October 2026 theft of about $6.3 billion from Binance, one of the largest crypto exchanges. A Reuters/Ipsos poll in August 2026 found 63 % of Americans view Trump’s crypto profits as inappropriate.
