There are side hustles, and then there is whatever the Trump family has been doing in crypto. President Trump’s 2025 financial disclosure, released June 30, 2026, shows crypto-related income exceeding $1.4 billion, making digital assets the single largest source of his reported earnings since returning to office. Senator Elizabeth Warren wants to make sure that never happens again.
Warren, ranking member of the Senate Banking Committee, is pushing to add anti-conflict-of-interest provisions to pending Senate crypto legislation. The goal: bar the president, his family, and other senior officials from financially benefiting from the digital asset industry while in office.
Where the money came from
The disclosure breaks down into two main buckets. First, approximately $635 million in royalties tied to the $TRUMP meme coin and related entities Celebration Coins and CIC Digital. Second, nearly $800 million from World Liberty Financial, the decentralized finance platform co-founded in 2024 by Trump, his sons, and the Witkoff family. Of that WLF figure, roughly $520 million came specifically from token sales and equity interests.
WLF has been under scrutiny since its launch for governance questions and investor protection concerns. The $TRUMP meme coin, meanwhile, has been a study in asymmetric outcomes. While the Trump family locked in substantial gains, retail holders absorbed significant losses. The coin dropped from near $4 to under $2, a decline that wiped out meaningful sums for everyday buyers who entered near the top.
