The New Yorker reported that Trump earned 2.37 billion USD from cryptocurrency projects. Before his term, his family's assets dwindled and they had to sell 220 million USD in stocks, but during the first term, Trump and his family remained quiet in the face of offers. Lawyer Sheri Dillon asserted that the Trump family did not exploit their position, but after the Capitol incident in 2021, her firm stopped representing them.
During his second term, Trump significantly increased assets from international transactions and cryptocurrency projects. The asset value is unclear as he has not publicly released tax returns; NYT estimates the family earned up to 2 billion USD in just one month.
The Trump family is said to have earned 3.37 billion USD during two terms, mainly from cryptocurrency investments, NFTs, and memecoins. Interest in crypto increased after being denied services by major banks; the first NFT project with Bill Zanker generated 14.4 million USD.
Trump's income includes
412.5 million USD from crypto,
243 million USD from transactions with UAE World Liberty Financial and stablecoin USD1
13 million USD from American Bitcoin
1.3 billion USD from Trump Media & Technology Group
385 million USD from memecoin TRUMP & MELANIA.
This raises concerns about conflicts of interest, but no limiting legislation has been passed.
