President Trump has made nearly $3 billion while in office, most of it through cryptocurrency ventures, according to NPR. Cryptocurrency is digital money that is traded online rather than issued by a government or central bank.

NPR also reported that much of the president's money comes from foreign sources.

Transparency advocates, groups that push for openness about how money and influence work in public life, have raised alarms over the president's crypto profits.

The report was written by Rafael Nam and aired on NPR's Morning Edition program on November 10, 2026.
