Trump's annual disclosure just dropped, and the report is disturbing. The 927-page financial report just revealed that Trump made $1.4 billion in crypto in 2025 That's more than the most profitable company in the crypto industry. Since returning to office, Donald Trump has raked in $2.3 billion in profits from crypto projects, while his supporters and the American public has been left holding the bag.

There's no question. We are seeing the greatest onslaught of corruption in the history of mankind in the last 18 months.

We've never seen this level of corruption from any US president. And you have to ask, what enabled it? What made it all possible? Today, we're going to break down exactly how Trump made $1.4 billion in crypto in 2025, and why this exposes the crypto industry for what it truly is. A scam to lead millions of unknowing investors to slaughter. This is Dante Cook with Bitcoin Simply.
Let's go.
Trump's financial disclosure just dropped and it has the internet on fire. The 927-page report shows that Donald Trump made $1.4 billion in profits from crypto projects last year. The fact that it's 927 pages should tell you everything that you need to know. Instead of working for the American people, Trump and his team executed 3,640 trades last year. And you can see how this compares to any of the last presidents in the modern era. It's not even close. When you dig into the report, what's worse than the amount of money that he made or the volume of trades that he did, the worst part is how he actually profited from it. And the first place we look is the Trump coin.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:35)
So first you have the Trump coin scam, which is just, I don't know how he got away with that. How is that even possible?
The president rug pulled, the sitting president of the United States rug pulled his fans and supporters. Have you ever heard of such a thing? He created a digital asset completely unregulated, this Trump meme coin and told everybody to buy it. He said, it's gonna be the basis of the financial system and this is an investment, all this kind of stuff.
Everybody bought it and then people that he told about it in advance sold all their coins to his fans who were buying in and they rug pulled it. Trump and his cronies used his voters and supporters as exit liquidity after he won the presidential election. To the tune of 600 million dollars, the president of the United States scammed his supporters out of 600 million dollars, not only off of the rug pull itself, but also making money off of every single transaction.

**Dante Cook** (2:55)
The president pulled in over 630 million from Trump coin, from transactions and from licensing revenue. It's ironic that he made over 600 million on a coin that's down 97.7% from when it launched in January of 2025, considering the market cap of the whole entire coin is just 400 million. After the launch, the president quickly took to Truth Social to announce to the world, winning, which we all know now, was a sitting president using his influence and his power to rug pull his supporters. And I'll make one comment because what I do think is a little misleading about this is that every news media and outlet source is saying that this is Trump doing all of this. There's no way that a dude who's 80 years old has the stamina to day trade on Robin Hood making over 10 trades a day. We all know who the real genius behind this plan was. It was Barron.
Somehow, a 19-year-old made $90 million last year. Yeah, okay. Back to the story. We move on from Trump coin to his next big profitable project, World Liberty Financial.

**SPEAKER_3** (4:01)
The second aspect of it is this World Liberty Financial. This is a cryptocurrency firm, and their main product is a stable coin. So they created a coin that's pegged one-to-one to the dollar. It's not a speculative investment. It's meant to serve as a medium of exchange. World Liberty Financial was founded by Steve Witkoff's children.
So Steve Witkoff is the president's special envoy. So when we talk to Russia about the war in Ukraine, that's Steve Witkoff. He is the one going to Russia to meet with Putin and Sergey Lavrov. He is the one going to Turkey and Riyadh, meeting with our Russian counterparts. When we negotiate with Iran, directly, indirectly, it's Steve Witkoff every time going to Switzerland, Italy, Turkey, Oman, Iran, Pakistan, he is the one going and meeting with the Qataris, meeting with the Pakistanis, meeting with the Iranians, meeting with the Saudis, with the Emiratis. He is the one meeting with the Israelis, the Syrians, Lebanese, meeting with all these people. Steve Witkoff's top negotiator, that guy's children founded a stable coin company, which Trump owns a significant chunk of. As a matter of fact, Trump makes 75% of the royalties. 75% of the royalties from World Liberty go to Trump personally.
