Multiple tier1 and tier2 sources (Reuters, PolitiFact, Politico, NBC) report that Trump's 2025 financial disclosure, filed June 30, 2026, lists more than $1.4 billion in crypto-related income, so the claim was supported as of 2026-10-27.

Supports. Reuters reports that Trump received more than $1.4 billion in 2025 from family crypto projects, per his financial disclosures filed with the Office of Government Ethics.[1]
Supports. PolitiFact states the 2025 disclosure reported $1.4 billion in gains from cryptocurrencies, the largest non-stock income source.[2]
Supports. Politico and NBC both report crypto earnings of more than $1.4 billion for 2025 from the disclosure, with meme coin licensing and World Liberty Financial as major components.[3][4]
Context. Some outlets report slightly different figures (about $1.2 billion in one AP-derived piece), reflecting how the disclosure's ranges and categories are counted, but the majority of sources support the $1.4 billion figure.[5]
Context. The claim is framed as income 'made' over time; the sources describe 2025 income from the annual disclosure, not a total since inauguration or a total since 2016, so the claim is best read as the disclosed crypto income figure.[1][6]
