Trump Backs Family’s Crypto Earnings Amid Scrutiny

Here’s another polished rewrite with a slightly sharper, more compact newswire tone:


President Donald Trump said there is “nothing wrong” with his family’s crypto earnings after disclosures showed at least $1.4 billion in income from the sector in 2025.

In a CNBC interview at the White House, Trump said he had not engaged in any illegal activity and was not fully aware of the full scale of his crypto holdings. “I could know about it. I didn’t,” he said, adding that his goal is for the U.S. to lead in digital assets.

Trump previously handed day-to-day control of his businesses to his two eldest sons upon taking office, while retaining ownership of his assets.

The federal Office of Government Ethics disclosure identified him as the largest crypto earner in U.S. politics.

It showed about $636 million tied to his branded memecoin launched ahead of his return to office, roughly $594 million from World Liberty Financial—a crypto firm co-founded with his sons—and nearly $197 million from a stablecoin venture.

The gains come against a weaker market backdrop, with bitcoin down roughly 50% from its October peak above $126,000 as the sector has faced sustained pressure this year.
