#TRUMP Trump reported earning over $600 million in revenue from the $TRUMP memecoin in 2025.

Trump disclosed that his revenue related to the $TRUMP memecoin exceeded $600 million in 2025.
As total crypto-related income reached $1.4 billion, the discussion shifted to ethical concerns in the Senate.
Kirsten Gillibrand is calling for rules to limit the ability of the president and members of Congress to profit from digital assets.
As August approaches, the CLARITY Act remains stalled over critical ethical provisions.
In a recent financial disclosure submitted to the Office of Government Ethics, U.S. President Donald Trump declared that his revenue related to the $TRUMP memecoin surpassed $600 million in 2025. This disclosure has reignited the debate regarding the significant share of Trump's total income derived from crypto assets.
The scale of crypto earnings sparks debate
According to figures in the financial filings, Trump’s total crypto-related income reached $1.4 billion last year. This amount represents more than half of his total income of $2.2 billion for 2025. The figures include $635 million in memecoin royalty income, $527 million from token sales distributed via World Liberty Financial—a decentralized finance project linked to the Trump family—and approximately $263 million from equity stakes in holding companies associated with this venture. $TRUMP memecoin royalty revenue: $635 million
World Liberty Financial token sales: $527 million
Holdings linked to WLF: Approximately $263 million
Total cryptocurrency-related revenue: $1.4 billion
In his assessment, former White House ethics lawyer Richard Painter stated that such transactions could not be blocked by federal conflict-of-interest rules applicable to other executive branch officials.
Painter argued that Trump is the only person in the city facing a financial conflict of interest while serving as president.
The White House, however, denied the allegations of financial conflicts of interest. Spokesperson Anna Kelly stated that Trump is making the U.S. the "crypto capital of the world" and noted that the president's investments are managed by external entities without his personal involvement.
Gillibrand calls for stricter ethics rules
Senator Kirsten Gillibrand has reiterated her call for stronger ethics provisions in the cryptocurrency regulations expected to come before the Senate. A key figure in the discussions surrounding the CLARITY Act, Gillibrand stated that she seeks provisions limiting the ability of the President, members of Congress, and their families to profit from digital assets.
Gillibrand is also a supporter of the "End Crypto Corruption Act," a bill introduced by Senator Jeff Merkley and backed by 19 Democratic senators. The proposal aims to prohibit high-ranking public officials and their families from issuing, endorsing, or promoting cryptocurrencies, memecoins, tokens, NFTs, and stablecoins.
Ethics provisions are the main sticking point in the Senate
On May 14, the Senate Banking Committee advanced the amendment package for the market structure bill with a 15-to-9 vote. Democratic senators Ruben Gallego and Angela Alsobrooks, who support the bill, warned that their support during the full Senate vote would depend on the inclusion of ethics safeguards.
Senator Elizabeth Warren also argued that the bill, in its current form, could exacerbate existing problems. While Republican Senator Tim Scott has called for a full Senate vote this month, French Hill, Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, stated that the Senate needs to complete its work before the August recess.
However, a compromise will need to be reached between the Senate text and the market structure bill previously passed by the House of Representatives. A Republican Senate aide acknowledged ongoing tension between the two chambers but noted that discussions are continuing regarding ethics language, anti-money laundering provisions, and the oversight of decentralized finance networks.
Gillibrand also faced questions regarding conflicts of interest.
Ethical controversies were not limited to the Trump camp. A report dated July 2 revealed that Chris Larsen had invested in a derivatives venture founded by Gillibrand’s 22-year-old son, Theodore.
Gillibrand’s office stated that her son is an adult who established an independent business and that the senator has no involvement in the venture. Although no allegations of legal wrongdoing have been raised, consensus on ethical provisions is expected to be a decisive factor in the future of cryptocurrency regulations in the Senate.
