Out of all the income streams that Donald Trump reported in his latest financial disclosure,
there was one particular industry that turned out to be especially lucrative for the president: Crypto.
He had a better year making off of crypto than just about any of the companies that are in this business.
That's Bloomberg's campaign finance reporter Bill Allison,
who's covered Trump's financial disclosures since 2015 when he ran for president the first time.
That disclosure was all of 92 pages; the most recent one was 927 pages.
So it showed that he had a tremendous amount of income from his various crypto ventures,
at least $1.4 billion in total.
At a time when the crypto industry at large has been reeling from losses, the president's gains stand out.
It's more money than he's made in any single year he's been president, and it's his biggest source of revenue.
Trump also made money playing the stock market with bets on companies whose fates are heavily influenced by federal policy.
His financial disclosure shows the dollar value of his thousands of securities trades
could have been anywhere between $600 million and $1.86 billion.
The disclosure is full of other new details about Trump's business dealings.
He's selling Trump watches, which made like $1.4 million.
There's the Bibles, there's a Trump guitar.
He made $77 million from his Mar-a-Lago resort,
$122 million from Trump National Doral Golf Club, and $25 million from his Virginia golf club.
What do you say to critics who say you're profiting off the presidency, Mr. Trump?
