US President Donald Trump made over $1 billion from cryptocurrencies during the first year of his term, resulting in his fortune tripling between 2024 and 2026. The majority of this income stems from his meme coin and his involvement with the startup World Liberty Financial. Additionally, part of his earnings comes from legal settlements.

Trump has faced accusations of conflict of interest related to these financial gains. However, the White House has dismissed these concerns.

FRANCE 24's Rochelle Ferguson-Bouyahi provides further details on the matter.
