Former US President Donald Trump has disclosed earning more than $1 billion in income from crypto ventures in his recent financial disclosure. The figure exceeds previous reports of his cryptocurrency earnings, which stood at over $700 million.
This development comes as a surprise to many experts and observers who had earlier speculated that the actual figures could be much higher. Mr Trump's financial disclosure has sparked controversy, with some critics accusing him of hiding more than just his true income from crypto ventures.
One such critic is Christopher Steele, a former intelligence operative, who described Mr Trump's actions as 'grift, grift, and grift'. According to the report, Mr. Trump's earnings from these ventures were estimated to be over $1.4 billion in 2025 alone.
