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 and Ethereum at the end of 2025.
