A new financial disclosure has revealed that Republican nominee Donald Trump owns up to $5 million in crypto and has netted over $7 million from his foray into non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
According to a personal financial disclosure obtained by ethics watchdog Citizens for Ethics, Trump declared holdings of between $1 million and $5 million in Ethereum-based crypto assets.
Additionally, Trump disclosed that he had earned more than $7.15 million from his three NFT collections, which include the criminal indictment-geared “Mugshot” project and two separate series of Donald Trump Trading Cards collections.

Trump hinted at releasing a fourth NFT series on July 16, telling Bloomberg that “the people want” him to release another one.
The former President recently released a line of “official crypto-sneakers” on Aug. 1, with a limited edition run of 1,000 orange hi-tops shoes selling out in a few hours despite the $499 price tag.

Trump’s onchain crypto holdings briefly soared as high as $18 million in June amid an outsized rally in the price of a MAGA memecoin sporting the ticker “TRUMP.”
The TRUMP memecoin was launched in August to donate to US veterans and protect children. While it bears the former president’s name, it is not officially affiliated with or endorsed by Donald Trump.

Outside of crypto, the disclosure also showed the former President made over $300,000 from selling a series of branded bibles and a combined $216 million from the Mara-a-Lago resort and his self-branded golf course in Doral, Florida.
It’s a bit of a jump from August 2023, when Trump disclosed owning over $2.8 million in Ethereum-based crypto assets and reported earnings of more than $4.8 million from NFTs.
Trump is legally obligated to submit comprehensive financial disclosures while running for a position in the federal office of the United States.
Once a critic of Bitcoin and crypto, Trump has become an outspoken advocate of digital assets in recent months, establishing a pro-crypto position as a key part of his 2024 election campaign.
Speaking at the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville, Trump promised to create a national Bitcoin stockpile and establish the US as the “crypto capital of the world,” by implementing a series of crypto-friendly policies if elected president.
