Trump Insists ‘There’s Nothing Wrong’ With His Big Crypto Gains

Donald Trump made over $1 billion from cryptocurrency in 2026, with his business dealings laid out in a 927-page mandatory report released by the U.S. Office of Government Ethics.

President Donald Trump on Thursday presented a wild defense of his children’s potential access to insider information stemming from his office, just days after financial disclosures revealed that the president raked in over $2 billion last year from his various business ventures.

All told – including other parts of his vast holdings, such as his real estate assets – Trump made at least $2.2bn last year, as opposed to the roughly $622m his businesses raked in in 2024, before he returned to the presidency.

Silvio Berlusconi, the Italian prime minister and billionaire mogul who died in 2023, is often considered to have set the mold for President Trump with his mastery of the news media, gilded taste and, above all, legislative maneuvers that drew accusations of conflicts of interest.
