Here’s a tighter, more polished rewrite in a newswire style:
President Donald Trump said there is “nothing wrong” with his family’s crypto-related earnings, responding to disclosures showing at least $1.4 billion in income from the sector in 2025.
In a CNBC interview at the White House, Trump said he had not engaged in any illegal activity and was not fully aware of the scale of his crypto holdings. “I could know about it. I didn’t,” he said, adding that his aim is for the United States to lead in the crypto industry.
Trump previously transferred day-to-day control of his business empire to his two eldest sons upon taking office, while retaining ownership of his assets.
The disclosure from the federal Office of Government Ethics identified Trump as the largest crypto earner in U.S. politics.
It showed about $636 million linked to his branded memecoin launched ahead of his return to office, roughly $594 million from World Liberty Financial—a crypto firm co-founded with his sons—and nearly $197 million from a stablecoin venture.
The windfall comes amid a weak market backdrop, with bitcoin down about 50% from its peak above $126,000 in October as the sector has faced sustained pressure this year.
