Trump pocketed more than $1 billion from crypto ties as industry headed toward slump
President Donald Trump earned more than $1 billion from crypto sales and royalties last year while living in the White House and pursuing aggressively pro-crypto policies in his administration. Even as the president increased his fortune from sometimes contentious crypto industry ties, the rest of the sector headed into a rough patch in which assets have plummeted in price and businesses struggle. Bitcoin is down some 50% from its all-time high seen last fall.
