Trump owns $1 million in crypto. He's also made $300,000 in Bible sales and $7 million from NFTs.
Former President Donald Trump, who built his billion-dollar fortune in the brick-and-mortar world of real estate, is getting a financial boost from digital assets including cryptocurrencies and non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, a new financial disclosure form shows.
Trump, whose net worth Forbes estimates at $4.5 billion, disclosed he earned $7.2 million in an NFT licensing deal, while he has also socked away at least $1 million, and up to $5 million, in a "virtual ethereum key."
The disclosure of Trump's crypto holdings comes amid a public shift in the former president's take on digital currencies, which he once called "a scam." In recent campaigning, he has pitched himself as the pro-crypto presidential candidate, vowing to make America a "bitcoin-mining powerhouse."
