Former President Donald Trump revealed in an ethics filing that he holds more than $100 million in Bitcoin investments. The filing, released on Tuesday, indicates that Trump possesses two cryptocurrency wallets, each valued at over $50 million, described as

This disclosure adds to his indirect exposure through Trump Media's own Bitcoin investments, bringing his total estimated exposure to over $500 million, according to Forbes.
Key Details
The revelation comes amid a significant increase in Bitcoin's value, which surged 82% from Election Day to October 2025. However, Bitcoin's price has since fallen by 53%. Trump's Bitcoin holdings reportedly originated from two public crypto offerings, generating nearly $800 million in proceeds. One wallet is managed by the same entity that oversees his stake in World Liberty Financial, while the other is linked to CIC Digital LLC, which launched Trump's memecoin and collected over $635 million in royalties.
Background
The ethics filing raises potential conflicts of interest, as Trump's financial interests in cryptocurrency coincide with his political activities. Representatives from the Trump Organization and the White House did not respond to requests for comment regarding the filing.
