Trump Discloses Over $50 Million in Bitcoin Held in Cold Storage

Bitcoin News

President Donald Trump disclosed holding more than $50 million in Bitcoin (BTC), kept in self-custodied cold storage, according to his 2025 annual financial disclosure released this week by the U.S. Office of Government Ethics. The filing lists the asset under entity CIC Digital LLC as a cryptocurrency wallet virtual Bitcoin key held in a cold wallet, valued at over $50,000,000 — the highest bracket the disclosure form permits. Because the form does not require a precise figure above that threshold, the true size of the position could exceed the stated floor. The Bitcoin line reported no income, a result consistent with an asset held rather than sold.

The same filing shows the president generated more than $1.2 billion in crypto-related revenue during 2025, with digital-asset ventures ranking among the largest line items across the roughly 900-page report. The Bitcoin sits inside The Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust, dated April 7, 2014, the same structure that controls his stake in Trump Media & Technology Group. The cold-storage designation means the private keys are held offline, removed from internet-connected systems and third-party exchange custody. Across the two largest disclosed digital assets, Bitcoin and Ethereum, the reported value runs past $100 million, underscoring how central crypto has become to the president's personal balance sheet.

A large share of that income traces to the TRUMP memecoin, which produced roughly $635 million in royalties tied to a licensing agreement with Celebration Coins. The token launched on Solana days before Trump returned to office in January 2025 and vaulted to a multi-billion-dollar market capitalization within hours. The rally proved fleeting: TRUMP now trades near $1.66 for a market cap around $394 million, down roughly 98% from the all-time high set on January 19, 2025. The collapse illustrates the volatility typical of celebrity-branded altcoin launches, where early speculative demand rarely sustains once initial hype fades from the market.

A second cluster of holdings appears under World Liberty Financial, the decentralized-finance and stablecoin venture operated by the Trump family and business associates. The filing reports more than $588 million in net proceeds from token sales distributed through the project, making it one of the disclosure's single largest revenue sources. World Liberty Financial has expanded its footprint across lending and stablecoin products over the past year, and the reported proceeds reflect distributions rather than the venture's outstanding token treasury. The scale of the figure places the venture alongside the memecoin as one of the two dominant engines behind the president's 2025 crypto earnings, per the official filing.

Beyond Bitcoin, the disclosure details a broader digital-asset portfolio held through CIC Digital LLC. An Ethereum key is valued between $5 million and $25 million, while a staked Ethereum position under a Coinbase staking agreement generated $510,808 in validator rewards over the period. The same entity reports a USDC stablecoin holding in the $5 million to $25 million range that produced $45,932 in interest income. Validator rewards are payments earned for helping secure a proof-of-stake network, while the USDC interest reflects yield on a dollar-pegged reserve. Together these positions round out a holdings profile spanning several major tokens and yield-bearing instruments.

The filings also show Vice President JD Vance holding Bitcoin valued between $250,000 and $500,000, positions that had been previously reported. Trump's crypto ventures remain a flashpoint in Washington, where the disclosure lands amid debate over the Clarity Act, legislation that passed the House but stalled in the Senate and would legalize most crypto activity in the United States. Democratic opponents argue the bill should not advance without ethics language barring the president and his family from crypto-related businesses. The disclosure follows a separate May filing that detailed gains from trading crypto-linked equities, including positions in Robinhood and Coinbase.

COINOTAG's proprietary 42-indicator composite S/R scoring engine rates the $58,163 support at 90/100, its strongest reading, anchored by the confluence of the S1 pivot and the previous day's low alongside the Donchian lower band. To the upside, the engine scores the $60,995 resistance at 67/100, driven by the Fibonacci 0.114 level, a high-volume node and the Ichimoku Senkou A line near the 20-period EMA. With BTC trading near $58,792, an RSI of 30.12 and a bearish MACD confirm the prevailing downtrend. Our reading of derivatives data shows a 0.0027% funding rate and a 2.75 long/short ratio — 73.3% of accounts long — leaving crowded longs exposed. A daily close below $58,163 would invalidate the bullish case, while reclaiming $60,995 is needed to shift momentum; a Fear & Greed reading of 11 signals extreme fear.
