Warren Targets Trump’s Growing Crypto Wealth
"Trump owns ~$1 billion in cryptocurrency. Meanwhile, his administration shapes crypto policy. The President shouldn’t be getting rich off his own policy decisions," Warren wrote on X.
Warren did not explain how she calculated the roughly $1 billion figure. Trump’s 2025 financial disclosure showed his companies generated more than $1.4 billion from crypto ventures, including more than $520 million from World Liberty Financial token sales and over $635 million from Official Trump memecoin royalties.
The filing showed Trump retained 15.75 billion World Liberty governance tokens valued above $50 million, while Trump-affiliated companies held as much as $160 million in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) at the end of 2025.
Trump has defended the earnings. "There’s nothing illegal, there’s nothing wrong with it," he said in July.
Benzinga reached out to the White House for comment on Warren’s comments but did not receive an immediate response.
