Filings show Trump invested in stocks and bonds after crypto earnings topped $1. 4bn

The filings, which cover his 2025 finances, indicate that while Trump publicly championed digital assets, his personal investment strategy leaned heavily towards conventional financial instruments.The disclosures show Trump received more than $1.4 billion last year from family-backed crypto ventures, including World Liberty Financial and the Trump meme coin.At the same time, Reuters' analysis of the filings found that his holdings in stocks and bonds increased at least fourfold over the past two years.
