‘Nothing Wrong,’ Trump Says of Family’s Crypto Profits

Here’s a refined rewrite with a clean, concise financial-news tone:


President Donald Trump said there is “nothing wrong” with his family’s crypto-related gains, following disclosures indicating at least $1.4 billion in income from the sector in 2025.

In a CNBC interview at the White House, Trump said he had not acted illegally and was not fully aware of the extent of his crypto holdings. “I could know about it. I didn’t,” he said, adding that his objective is for the U.S. to lead in digital assets.

Trump has previously handed day-to-day control of his business empire to his two eldest sons while retaining ownership of his assets.

The disclosure from the federal Office of Government Ethics identified him as the largest crypto-related earner in U.S. politics.

It detailed roughly $636 million tied to his branded memecoin launched ahead of his return to office, about $594 million from World Liberty Financial—a crypto venture he co-founded with his sons—and nearly $197 million from a stablecoin project.

The reported gains come amid a broader market downturn, with bitcoin down roughly 50% from its October peak above $126,000 as the crypto sector has struggled through much of the year.
