According to Donald Trump’s 2025 financial statement, income from crypto assets increased to approximately $646 million. The documents showed that the profits from the Trump family’s digital asset-related ventures came to the fore during the same period, along with the administration’s policies that were more welcoming to cryptocurrencies. Critics, on the other hand, argued that this picture strengthened the conflict of interest debates.
Crypto revenues came to the fore
One of the top items in the notification was World Liberty Financial, the Trump family’s decentralized finance platform. The platform generated approximately $588 million in revenue from token sales. DeFi is known as a structure that aims to carry out financial transactions on the blockchain without a central intermediary.

White House Deputy Spokesperson Anna Kelly argued that Trump turned the USA into the crypto capital of the world and said that neither the president nor his family had a conflict of interest and would not in the future.
Bitcoin and Ether were also included in the asset declaration
The notice also revealed that Trump held over $50 million in Bitcoin in cold wallets. It was also seen that there was Ether between $5 million and $25 million, and in addition to these, USDC and USD Key assets were also declared.
The Trump administration drew attention throughout 2025 with a more favorable regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies, executive steps supporting digital assets, and policy preferences seen in favor of the industry. During this period, crypto markets reached all-time highs, which also increased the income of family-related enterprises.
Criticisms and defense
The Trump Organization argued that the scope of financial disclosure demonstrates a commitment to transparency. The company’s statement emphasized that the extensive details contained in the documents provide clarity to the public.
Public Citizen co-president Robert Weissman suggested that Trump’s personal profit interests now overlap with the crypto industry, which could pave the way for regulations that could harm consumers and threaten financial stability.
Public Citizen, a non-profit organization working in the field of consumer rights, criticized this income statement with harsh words. The organization called on Congress to examine possible conflicts of interest and take necessary steps.
