Photograph: Jonathan Raa/NurPhoto/Rex/Shutterstock Crypto and stock stakes: key takeaways from Trump’s financial disclosures US president raked in more than $1bn from crypto – an industry he has sought to deregulate – and a total of $2.2bn last year, files reveal Alarm bells over conflict of interest as filing shows Trump raked in $2bn in 2025 Donald Trump’s money-making ventures enriched him by more than $2bn last year, according to newly released financial disclosures. The revenue was supercharged by the Trump family’s crypto projects, with the documents showing the US president made more than $1bn (£0.76bn) from crypto – an industry he has sought to deregulate . Here are five key takeaways from close to 1,000 pages of Trump’s financial disclosures : 1. Trump played the crypto game while also making the rules The US president now gets most of his income from digital assets that have benefited from his own policies. After returning to office, Trump reversed the Biden administration’s tough stance on the crypto industry with new rules, saying he wanted the US to be the “crypto capital of the world”.

Previous US presidents have made public efforts to show they would not personally profit from business during their time in office, including putting investments into blind trusts. For his second term, Trump has put his sons in charge of his business. 3. Trump has been buying stock while in office There is no getting around it – Trump has a personal stake in hundreds of companies, from big tech in Silicon Valley to Papa John’s pizza, Netflix and Victoria’s Secret. One of the reasons Tuesday’s disclosure is so long, at 927 pages , is because the president has been actively buying stocks, and the US Office of Government Ethics names them all. The document is publicly released due to a 1978 law that requires presidents and vice-presidents to disclose their income, assets and financial interests. 4. The president maintains a global network of business interests While the White House and Trump fam
