President Donald Trump said there is nothing wrong with the more than $1.4 billion his family earned from crypto ventures in 2025. He made the remarks during a CNBC interview at the White House this week.
Trump told the network he did nothing illegal and was not fully aware of the extent of the holdings. He said he wants the United States to lead in digital assets.
Disclosures released this week by the federal Office of Government Ethics showed Trump as the largest crypto earner in U.S. politics. The total included about $636 million from his memecoin, roughly $594 million from World Liberty Financial, and nearly $197 million from a stablecoin venture.
Trump handed day-to-day control of his businesses to his two eldest sons before taking office and did not divest his assets. Critics have said he is profiting from the presidency while his administration sets rules for the industry.
