Trump Made $1.4B in Crypto While His Coins Crashed 95%
The president's 2025 financial disclosure reveals the most lopsided trade in political history

Ticker Ratings
Bloomberg's latest deep dive into Trump's 2025 financial disclosure is the kind of story that makes your jaw hit the floor. The president earned at least $1.4 billion in crypto this year, making it his single largest income source ever recorded for a sitting US president. The breakdown: $594 million from World Liberty Financial stablecoin token sales and a staggering $636 million from meme coin sales via CIC Digital LLC.
Here is the part that stings. The World Liberty token is down 75% from its highs. The Trump memecoin has cratered 95%. Nearly a million retail buyers collectively lost more than $3 billion holding bags that the president was quietly selling. It is the most asymmetric trade in modern political history, and it was entirely legal.
Warren Buffett recently said finding fair market value is hard when "everybody is preferring gambling." Turns out, sometimes the house really does always win.
