Donald Trump's cryptocurrencies earn more than US$ 236 million

The current president of the United States, Donald Trump, declared hundreds of millions of dollars in income related to cryptocurrencies in his latest annual financial disclosure report. The document, released by the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, details revenue from World Liberty Financial, in addition to investments in companies such as Coinbase and Strategy.

At 927 pages, the financial disclosure presents a broad investment portfolio of Trump. In addition to stakes in companies from different sectors, such as Domino's Pizza, Costco, Victoria's Secret, Lockheed Martin and major U.S. banks, the report highlights the president's growing participation in the cryptocurrency market.

Most of the gains related to the sector came from World Liberty Financial, a decentralized finance (DeFi) company linked to the Trump family. According to the document, the president declared more than US$ 65,6 milhões obtained from the sale of shares of WLF Holdco.

In addition, the token distribution promoted by World Liberty Financial generated approximately US$ 236,25 milhões in revenue, becoming one of the main sources of income recorded in this year's financial report.

The document also reveals that the company maintains reserves in several cryptocurrencies. Among the listed assets are cold wallets of Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDC, LINK, AAVE, ENA, MOVE and ONDO. The disclosure also points to about US$ 1,8 milhão received in Ethereum staking rewards.

The information comes at a time when U.S. lawmakers continue debating a bill to establish broader rules for the cryptocurrency market. During the discussions, members of the Democratic Party defended the inclusion of ethical provisions that would limit certain financial operations involving digital assets by the president, vice president, members of Congress and other members of the federal government.

In addition to the assets directly linked to World Liberty Financial, Trump reported investments of up to US$ 100 mil in the brokerage Coinbase. The report also shows several positions in Strategy, a company known for maintaining one of the largest corporate Bitcoin reserves in the world and that previously operated under the name MicroStrategy.

While Trump's financial disclosure spans hundreds of pages, the report released by Vice President JD Vance was significantly shorter. At just 17 pages, the document states that Vance owns up to US$ 500 thousand in Bitcoin, reinforcing the presence of cryptocurrencies among members of the current United States administration.
