Trump, boom di ricavi dalle criptovalute: oltre 1 miliardo di dollari in un anno

President Donald Trump has become substantially wealthier, with a marked increase in his net worth largely attributed to cryptocurrencies and other digital ventures. In a 927-page financial disclosure released by the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, the president reported more than $1.2 billion in crypto-related earnings over the past year.

The documents indicate that about $550 million would have been received in 2025 from Trump’s stake in World Liberty Financial, a crypto startup co-founded in September 2024 with involvement from the president’s children and the son of Middle East special envoy Steve Witkoff. Another $635 million is tied to royalties from a licensing agreement for the $TRUMP cryptocurrency, which was launched shortly before the presidential inauguration in January 2025.

According to Forbes, the president’s crypto activities are the primary reason his personal net worth nearly tripled, rising from $2.3 billion to $6.5 billion between 2024 and 2026.

The filing also identifies additional income sources: more than $290 million is attributed to the family’s real estate holdings and luxury resorts, including Mar-a-Lago in Florida and Trump National Doral. Other reported receipts include roughly $86 million from legal agreements with major media and technology companies, and over $370,000 in gifts, such as tickets to sporting events.

Reported holdings also include investments in publicly traded companies such as Apple, Microsoft and Nvidia, with individual equity positions estimated between $5 million and $25 million each. The disclosure reiterates that Trump received various gifts—including sports-event tickets valued at more than $370,000—and that he earned over $86 million from legal agreements with leading media and tech firms.

The release of the disclosure comes amid growing debate over potential conflicts of interest arising from the president’s private business dealings. Trump has expressed a goal of turning the United States into a “Bitcoin superpower” and has begun rolling back cryptocurrency regulations since taking office. The White House rejects allegations of impropriety, saying the assets are not managed directly by the president.
