Trump made $1.4 billion a year from cryptocurrency, and among the 760,000 retail investors who bought his token, only 58 addresses actually made big money.


All I can say is that it’s the old, seasoned “weed” and “harvest” trick—really taking it personally, up close and hands-on, for the sake of it.
Last year, an Abu Dhabi sovereign investment institution bought 49% of World Liberty Financial through a deal that had not been previously disclosed, with more than $187 million flowing into an entity controlled by the Trump family.
TRUMP token royalties totaled $635 million, mainly stemming from the “Celebration Coins” protocol that he has been promoting himself. Even more sensitive is the timeline:
Within the first three days of taking office in January 2025, the $TRUMP token went live. Later that year, his administration rolled out the GENIUS Act and the CLARITY Act, providing regulatory clarity for stablecoins and the structure of the crypto market—which is exactly the industry where his own business operates.
Democratic lawmaker Jamie Raskin released a report calling it a “billion-dollar crony crypto empire,” and pushed for provisions to be added to the CLARITY Act to prohibit senior officials in office from profiting from crypto assets. The White House, meanwhile, emphasized that all assets had been fully disclosed as required by law.
The disagreement between the two sides is actually very clear: “fully disclosed according to law” and “no conflict of interest” are two different dimensions of the issue.
Whether these two things are related—no one can give an exact answer. But the timeline is right there, and you can’t blame people for thinking about it.
On one side, foreign capital and equity quietly flowing into companies controlled by the president’s family.
On the other side, his administration is busy loosening the rules and writing regulations for the entire crypto industry.
Retail investors lose money, regulators turn on the faucet, and the money keeps rolling and rolling into family accounts—can it really all be explained by just the two words “fully disclosed as required by law?”
Or is the president’s identity itself the most valuable asset in this business?
