Trump's Crypto Windfall and More | Dublin News

Trump’s crypto empire just hit a billion-dollar milestone—earning over $1.1 billion last year from memecoin royalties and token sales via his family’s company, World Liberty Financial, plus a licensing deal with Celebration Coins. He’s still sitting on major Bitcoin and Ethereum holdings. As his administration rolled back crypto regulations and dropped lawsuits against major firms, the White House insisted no conflicts of interest exist, while Trump’s team touted the family business’s financial strength. His sons co-founded the crypto venture, and his campaign promised to make America the “bitcoin superpower.” Leadership shifts at the SEC, including a crypto-friendly appointee, coincided with dropped or settled cases. Pre-tax profits from these crypto ventures already topped $1 billion the year before. Beyond crypto, Trump’s library received big payouts from Meta and Alphabet, and he earned from licensing deals for watches, books, sneakers, and even gifts like World Cup tickets and a CEO’s sculpture. Melania also cashed in on NFTs and her documentary.
