President Donald Trump has pushed back on concerns over his crypto holdings after disclosures showed he earned at least $1.4 billion in 2025 from crypto and memecoin-related firms. Speaking to CNBC at the White House, Trump said he was not aware of the full scope of the ventures but argued there was nothing illegal about his family business involvement.
The disclosures showed about $594 million from World Liberty Financial, which Trump and his sons co-founded, roughly $636 million tied to his memecoin business, and nearly $197 million from an equity sale related to Stablecoin Holdco. Trump, who turned over his business operations to his two eldest sons, said his goal was to make the US number one in crypto, while critics raised concerns that he could be profiting from his role as head of state.
The filing from the US Office of Government Ethics also listed more than 680 pages of transactions, including purchases and sales of Amazon NASDAQ:AMZN, Apple NASDAQ:AAPL, Nvidia NASDAQ:NVDA, Microsoft NASDAQ:MSFT, Netflix NASDAQ:NFLX, and Exxon Mobil NYSE:XOM. Trump said he does not speak to the people managing his investments, described his Nvidia holding as very small, and said the money was handled by large Wall Street firms.
