Key Highlights: Trump’s crypto projects reportedly generated $2.37 billion by 2025. NFT launches and meme coins contributed significant income streams. Democrats push bills to limit Trump’s crypto earning capabilities. US President Donald Trump has earned $2.37 billion from cryptocurrency projects, according to a recent article published by The New Yorker. The article reviews Trump’s income before, during, and after his first presidency, noting that by 2015, much of his family fortune had been depleted. Between 2014 and 2016, Trump reportedly sold $220 million in stocks to cover losses. However, during his first term, Trump and his family maintained a low profile, declining lucrative offers. Sheri Dillon, one of Trump’s tax lawyers, stated that neither Trump nor his family “would ever do anything that would allow them to be accused of exploiting the office of the President of the United States.” Nevertheless, following the Capitol events in 2021, Dillon’s law firm ceased representing Trump. During Trump’s second term, his son Donald Trump Jr. noted that despite his father's restraint, critics accused the family of greed. Since his inauguration in January 2025, Trump has significantly increased his wealth, with substantial earnings from overseas deals and cryptocurrency ventures. Exact valuations of Trump’s assets remain unclear because he no longer voluntarily files tax returns. Various media sources provide differing figures. For instance, The New York Times reported in May 2025 that the Trump family earned up to $2 billion in a single month from a combination of crypto assets, real estate, gifts, and royalties. Overall, the Trump family reportedly earned $3.37 billion during his two terms, largely from direct investments in crypto assets, NFT launches, and meme coins. The article highlights that the family’s interest in cryptocurrency grew after some major banks refused to service them. Eric Trump confirmed this narrative and noted that the family's first crypto initiative was several NFT collections launched with Bill Zanker, generating $14.4 million. Other notable income sources include: $412.5 million from crypto asset investments; $243 million from deals involving Emirati authorities, the World Liberty Financial platform, and the USD1 stablecoin; $13 million from American Bitcoin-related deals; $1.3 billion from Trump’s stake in Trump Media & Technology Group; $385 million from memecoins TRUMP and MELANIA. Trump’s crypto wealth has sparked concerns about conflicts of interest, with several Democratic lawmakers introducing bills aimed at curbing the president’s ability to profit from crypto assets. However, none of these bills have been enacted to date.
