(Worthy News) – President Donald Trump’s latest federal financial disclosure shows his cryptocurrency ventures generated more than $1 billion last year, intensifying questions from ethics watchdogs over whether the president is profiting from an industry his administration is actively reshaping.
The filing showed Trump received more than $500 million from World Liberty Financial, a Trump-linked crypto venture, and more than $600 million through CIC Digital LLC, tied largely to Trump-branded meme coins. The surge made crypto one of the most lucrative parts of the Trump business empire.
Government ethics groups argue the arrangement creates an unprecedented conflict of interest, as Trump’s administration has moved to ease federal pressure on the crypto industry while his family’s digital-asset ventures have expanded rapidly.
“The president’s conflicts of interest with the crypto industry are unprecedented,” said Kedric Payne of the Campaign Legal Center, warning that the disclosure underscores the need for broader ethics reform.
The White House rejected the criticism, saying Trump has acted in the best interest of the American people and helped make the United States the “crypto capital of the world.” A spokeswoman said neither Trump nor his family has engaged in conflicts of interest.
The disclosure also showed Trump earning millions from legal settlements, golf properties, licensing deals, books, watches, and other ventures. But the scale of his crypto income has drawn particular scrutiny because some Trump-branded tokens and coins have fallen sharply in value since their launch, even as Trump-linked entities reported major proceeds.
