Donald Trump Reports $635 Million From “Celebration Coins” Meme Coin Licensing Agreement

President Donald Trump reported more than $635 million from a licensing agreement with a cryptocurrency group specializing in “meme” coins bearing his name, and the figure pushed his total crypto holdings past $1 billion, according to a 927-page financial disclosure form released Tuesday to the U.S. Office of Government Ethics.

The CNN disclosure also said one agreement with “Celebration Coins” paid Trump $635 million, while other listed profit generators included $4.7 million in royalties for “Trump Watches,” $208,000 related to a bible that the president has frequently promoted, and $67,634 for “Trump Sneakers & Fragrances.”

NBC News said the $635 million was earned from a group called “Celebration Coins,” and it reported that no digital footprint could be found for the group, while a representative for the Trump Organization did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday night.

The White House representative told NBC News that “Neither the President nor his family has ever engaged — or will ever engage — in conflicts of interest,” and it said Trump “made the United States the crypto capital of the world” through executive actions and supporting legislation like the GENIUS Act.

NBC News also reported that Trump did not divest his assets or place them in a blind trust before taking office, while the Trump Organization said the assets are managed by third-party financial institutions and trades are executed through automated technology.

CNN described the disclosure as drawing “sharp criticism from opponents” and said the White House denied Trump is conflicted by emphasizing that he is not actively involved in managing his businesses or investments.

CNN further reported that Trump has promoted businesses and policies that stand to benefit him and his family members financially, and it noted his vocal support for the cryptocurrency industry as “perhaps most notably” in that context.

Beyond disclosures, BFM reported that in an executive order dated January 23, cryptocurrencies are described as playing “a crucial role in innovation and economic development in the United States,” and it said the United States adopted its first cryptocurrency regulation under the name Genius Act in July.

BFM also said the U.S. Federal Reserve’s ban on launching a digital dollar left the crypto sector to emerge, and it cited a strategic reserve of bitcoins with more than 200,000 bitcoins held by the American government.

Mediapart said Bitcoin, backed by Donald Trump “as soon as he returned to the White House,” has experienced its worst week since 2022, and it reported that since January 31 it has fallen 36% in value.

Mediapart added that “In one week, the crypto asset lost nearly 40% of its value,” and it framed the risk as Bitcoin dragging “many people down with it.”
