U.S. ethics filing shows Trump crypto income, Middle East payments and a $50 million Schwab credit line
Trump said large outside institutions manage his assets without his involvement, as reporting on his 2025 disclosure pointed to at least $2.24 billion of income including roughly $1.2 billion from crypto businesses.
President Donald Trump said large outside institutions manage his personal assets, he does not communicate with money managers and he does not participate in investment decisions, as scrutiny of his 2025 financial disclosure continues. The filing has been read across reports as showing at least $2.24 billion of reported income, up sharply from 2024, including about $1.2 billion from crypto-related businesses such as World Liberty Financial and TRUMP Meme through CIC Digital, though some earlier interpretations put crypto-linked income higher. Earlier reporting on the newly public 927-page disclosure highlighted hundreds of millions of dollars tied to Trump’s memecoin, World Liberty Financial, stablecoin-related interests and crypto holdings, alongside foreign-linked payments led by the Middle East, active trading in crypto-related stocks and a $50 million Schwab credit line. The disclosure has fueled a broader ethics debate in Washington over whether federal officials should be barred from profiting from digital assets while in office. Trump’s latest comments reinforce prior statements that outside institutions handle his money without his involvement, while the White House and Trump Organization have rejected conflict-of-interest concerns.
