Trump Called Bitcoin a Scam — Then Made $2 Billion From Crypto While President

In 2021, Trump called Bitcoin a scam against the dollar and a disaster waiting to happen. By his second term, crypto had a champion in the White House — and Trump’s businesses generated more than $2 billion in income in 2025 alone, his first year back in office. Critics are calling it the most corrupt presidency in US history, pointing to NFTs and meme coins as brazen self-enrichment — in plain sight. At a 40-hour workweek, Trump is making more than $1 million an hour — double his annual presidential salary, every hour.
