Trump Talks About His Family’s Crypto Money – “A Little Bit Dangerous”

Dextape brief

By Dextape Desk · October 31, 2026

Trump's 2025 financial disclosure lists more than $1.4 billion in crypto earnings. The largest share, $636 million, came from a licensing deal tied to the TRUMP meme coin, which carries his name and likeness. World Liberty Financial, a firm he co-founded with his sons, brought in at least $515 million through token sales. On Friday, Trump told reporters that digital money has long seemed risky to him, a day after hackers took about $6.3 billion from Binance. Asked about the theft, he pointed to paper checks, noting people no longer see the money. The piece also recalls earlier doubts from 2019 and 2021. An August Reuters/Ipsos poll found 63% of Americans consider his crypto profits inappropriate. Binance maintains that account holders will face no losses.

Why it matters: The story sets a sitting president's personal crypto earnings alongside his public skepticism about digital money, a combination that draws crypto readers' attention.
