Trump's 2025 disclosure shows about $1.4 billion in crypto-related income, so the claim's crypto element and the 2025 timeframe are supported.

Supports. Multiple reliable outlets report Trump's 2025 financial disclosure showed more than $1.4 billion in income from crypto ventures, earned while he was back in the White House.[1][2][3][4][5]
Context. Reuters estimates the Trump family has made at least $2.3 billion from crypto projects since he returned to office, a multi-year figure that is not the same as the 2025 crypto income claimed.[2][7][8]
