White House Dismisses Conflict-of-Interest Claims After President Earns $1.2 Billion From Crypto Ventures

President's Massive Earnings from Cryptocurrency Ventures Dismissed as Conflict of Interest

The President's office has dismissed claims of conflict of interest following revelations that he had made approximately $1.2 billion from activities related to cryptocurrency. The President's office has instead celebrated his efforts in positioning the United States as the world's crypto hub.

During his second term in office, the President and his family have made significant investments in cryptocurrency and related businesses, leading to a considerable increase in his wealth.

A document spanning 927 pages, released by the Office of Government Ethics, reveals that the President received close to $550 million from his association with a startup named World Liberty Financial. This startup was launched in September 2024, with the President's sons and the son of his Middle East special envoy among the co-founders.

No Conflict of Interest, Asserts White House

Anna Kelly, principal deputy press secretary, stated emphatically that neither the President nor his family have ever been or will ever be involved in a conflict of interest situation. She added that any insinuations of such conflicts are merely a repetition of the same baseless narrative that has been propagated by the opposition and the mainstream media for more than a decade.

Kelly also reiterated that the President has made the United States the crypto capital of the world and all actions taken by his administration are in the best interest of the American people.

President's Cryptocurrency Ventures Lead to Fortune Increase

Also mentioned in the filings are $635 million in royalties received under a licensing agreement related to the $TRUMP cryptocurrency, which was launched just hours before the President's inauguration in January 2025.

These cryptocurrency activities have been the primary reason for the almost threefold increase in his personal wealth, which rose from $2.3 billion to $6.5 billion between 2024 and 2026.

Other Significant Developments

  • The US Supreme Court upheld the constitutional guarantee of birthright citizenship, asserting that nearly all people born on US soil are American citizens. This ruling rejects a central pillar of the President's anti-immigrant agenda.
  • Additionally, the court upheld laws in two conservative states barring transgender girls and women from competing in female sports. This ruling is likely to pave the way for similar bans throughout the US, marking a significant victory in the President's "culture war".
  • The Supreme Court announced that it will consider the constitutionality of bans on AR-15 rifles and similar semiautomatic firearms. They will hear appeals challenging bans in Connecticut and the Chicago area in the next term.

The President announced that the first-ever national convention for Republicans will be held ahead of the midterm elections, aiming to energize voters as the party strives to maintain its slim congressional majorities in November. This two-day gathering will take place in Dallas, breaking from the longstanding tradition of holding national conventions only during presidential election years.
