Trump’s Financial Disclosure Reveals Cryptocurrency Holdings Amid Changing Stance on Digital Assets

Trump’s financial disclosure reveals that he holds cryptocurrency worth $1 million. This disclosure, required of U.S. presidential candidates, comes amid a public shift in the former president’s stance on digital currencies. He once called them a ‘scam.’ Former U.S. President Donald Trump holds cryptocurrencies worth $1 million, $7 million in non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and earned $300,000 from the sale of his version of the Bible. This was shown in the financial report he disclosed as a presidential candidate.

Trump, whose net worth Forbes estimates at $4.5 billion, earned $7.2 million from an NFT licensing agreement. He also lost between $1 million and $5 million on a “virtual Ethereum key,” according to CBS.

Earnings from Books

His financial records also revealed earnings from several books. This includes $300,000 in royalties for the Bible and $4.5 million for “Letters to Trump,” a 2023 collection of letters from celebrities like Oprah Winfrey.

The disclosure of Trump’s finances comes amid a public change in the former president’s stance on digital currencies, which he once referred to as a “scam.”

In a recent campaign, he presented himself as a pro-crypto presidential candidate. He promised to make the U.S. a “superpower in bitcoin mining.”
