Trump's 2025 financial disclosure just dropped and the numbers are staggering.
The sitting President of the United States personally earned $1.4 billion from crypto last year, more than every publicly traded US crypto company.
That's more than Coinbase ($1.26B net income). More than CleanSpark, IREN, and Bitdeer combined. Meanwhile, companies like Core Scientific, Hut 8, Galaxy, and Bitfarms all posted losses.
The breakdown: ~$791 million from World Liberty Financial (token sales, governance tokens) and ~$635 million in royalties from the $TRUMP memecoin through licensing deals.
For context, the same memecoin that made Trump $635M has cost retail investors over $3.8 billion in trading losses.
This is now creating a real political flashpoint. Senate Democrats are using the disclosure to push ethics provisions into the CLARITY Act, the bill that would define when crypto is a security vs a commodity. They want language explicitly preventing the president and his family from profiting off crypto while in office.
The irony is thick. Trump went from calling Bitcoin a "scam" in his first term to running the most profitable crypto operation in America during his second. And now his financial disclosure is becoming the centerpiece of every political fight over crypto legislation in Congress.
