Trump Dismisses Concerns Over Family’s Crypto Windfall

Here’s a fresh rewrite with a tight, neutral newswire style:

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.

Speaking to CNBC at the White House, Trump said he had not acted illegally and was not fully aware of the extent of his crypto-related holdings. “I could know about it. I didn’t,” he said, adding that his administration aims to position the U.S. as a leader in digital assets.

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

A federal Office of Government Ethics filing identified him as the largest crypto-related earner in U.S. politics.

The disclosure cited roughly $636 million linked to his branded memecoin launched ahead of his return to office, about $594 million from World Liberty Financial—a crypto venture co-founded with his sons—and nearly $197 million from a stablecoin project.

The reported windfall comes amid a weak market environment, with bitcoin down roughly 50% from its October peak above $126,000 as the crypto sector has remained under pressure this year.
