Trump's 2025 disclosure shows $800M+ in crypto income

The cryptocurrency market response has been muted so far. Bitcoin traded near $89,000 at publication, largely unchanged from pre-disclosure levels. The TRUMP token, a memecoin with no direct legal tie to the former president, saw a brief 3% pop before settling back, according to CoinDesk. Traders told CoinDesk they were waiting for a second, verifiable source before repositioning.

More at stake than a single filing. Validation by the OGE would confirm that Trump's crypto ventures generated returns on par with public DeFi protocols, raising questions about conflicts of interest given his sons' roles at World Liberty Financial and amplifying calls for transparency around political-tied tokens. The SEC has already pressed for broader ETF rules that would bring disclosure and custody standards to tokenized assets. The CLARITY Act's fading odds – now at 48% according to Jefferies – suggest Congress is in no hurry to clarify the legal status of projects like World Liberty Financial.

The Office of Government Ethics is expected to release its certified version of the disclosure in the coming weeks.
