Financial disclosures show President Trump sharply increased his holdings in traditional assets even as his family continued promoting crypto investments.
President Donald Trump earned more than $1.4 billion from crypto ventures last year, according to newly released financial disclosures. But while the Trump family publicly championed digital assets, the filings suggest a large share of those gains ultimately found their way into stocks and bonds.
The documents show Trump significantly expanded his holdings in traditional investments during 2025, raising fresh questions about his personal view of crypto as a long-term store of wealth.
KEY DETAILS
Trump's portfolio of stocks and bonds grew to between $703 million and $2.6 billion by the end of 2025, up from $225 million to $608 million a year earlier, according to a Reuters analysis of the filings.
The president reported earning more than $1.4 billion from family-backed crypto projects, including World Liberty Financial and the Trump meme coin.
The filings also show Trump still has substantial crypto exposure. He held 15.75 billion World Liberty governance tokens, valued at more than $50 million, and Trump-linked companies controlled at least $160 million in bitcoin and ether, plus up to $6 million in other digital tokens.
Last month, Reuters reported that retail investors in four major Trump-backed crypto projects had lost $2.3 billion as of April.
MARKET REACTION
The disclosures could reignite debate across crypto markets over celebrity-backed tokens and investor protection. Traditional asset managers may also see the filings as another sign that even crypto supporters continue to rely heavily on stocks and bonds for wealth preservation.
WHY IT MATTERS
For traders, the filings highlight a key lesson: public enthusiasm for crypto does not always match private investment decisions. Diversification remains a major theme among high-net-worth investors.
Investors will now watch whether Trump and his family continue expanding their crypto ventures and whether new disclosures reveal further shifts between digital assets and traditional investments.
