A top crypto critic is pressing for more transparency on cryptocurrency profits tied to the White House as lawmakers weigh new market rules.
Senator Elizabeth Warren’s request follows a disclosure showing President Trump earned roughly $1.4 billion in crypto-related income in 2025.
That’s more than double the prior year and now accounts for the vast majority of his income.
The report also details significant family involvement including a 30% ownership stake by “Trump Family Members” in DT Marks Defi LLC, which alone generated over $590 million in 2025 and holds a major interest in World Liberty Financial, the crypto company founded by Trump and his sons.
Warren’s letter calls for voluntary updated filings through mid-2026 by late July to inform ongoing Senate discussions on the Clarity Act, which would establish a comprehensive regulatory framework for digital asset markets by clarifying the respective roles of the SEC and CFTC.
Says Warren,
“Your financial disclosure raises key questions about the appropriateness of Presidents, Vice Presidents, senior administration officials, members of Congress, and their families profiting off the crypto industry, just as the U.S. Senate debates crypto market structure legislation that has the potential to increase the value of your crypto holdings. Unfortunately, it is not an up-to-date reflection of your finances: it does not account for any changes that have taken place in recent months…
It is essential that Congress have access to the most accurate information possible while debating this legislation and considering ethics safeguards to prevent federal officials from inappropriately profiting from the very industries they are responsible for regulating.
I therefore ask that you voluntarily release an updated and comprehensive financial disclosure report that incorporates information through July 15, 2026. Given the timeliness of my request, please release this updated disclosure by July 23, 2026.”
