Trump Earned $1.4 Billion From Crypto While Being US President. Here’s Why His Side Hustle Might Pause
Donald Trump is involved in ventures including World Liberty Financial and $TRUMP memecoin. The US President's family has earned more than $1.4 billion from crypto ventures.
US President Donald Trump earned more than $1.4 billion from his family’s crypto ventures in 2025 but a major cryptocurrency bill he backed has now hit a roadblock in the US Senate. The Senate failed to advance the CLARITY Act, a sweeping bill aimed at establishing a federal regulatory framework for digital assets. The measure received 50 votes in favour and 49 against, falling short of the 60 votes required to move forward.
The setback is significant for Donald Trump, who has made cryptocurrency a major part of his economic agenda since returning to the White House in January 2025. He has repeatedly urged US Congress to pass the legislation, calling for a “fair version" of the CLARITY Act and presenting himself as a pro-crypto US President.
