Oversight Democrats find that by utilizing the American presidency, President Trump and his family have generated nearly $2.25 billion in risk-free profits from foreign payments, corrupt businessmen, and others, and as much as $9.72 billion when including unrealized paper wealth
Washington, D.C. — Today, Rep. Robert Garcia, Ranking Member of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, released a new report identifying how President Donald Trump has accepted digital kickbacks from foreign and criminal interests as President of the United States. The investigation by Oversight Democrats has found that President Trump and his family are exploiting digital currencies with no transparency as to who is paying them or how much, presenting alarming and unprecedented avenues for corruption, conflicts of interest, threats to national security, and violations of the Constitution. The full report can be accessed here.
“The Trump Family’s corruption is deeply disturbing and should concern every American. President Trump was elected to serve the people of this nation, not enrich himself or his family. These actions blatantly disregard the public’s trust, and signal to foreign entities that our institutions are for sale and that the White House can be bought and paid for,” said Ranking Member Robert Garcia.
As of January 2026, the Committee's analysis shows that Trump's pay-to-play schemes have contributed to an estimated $2.25 billion in realized profits for Trump from foreign payments, corrupt oligarchs, and others. This total rises to as much as $9.7 billion when the value of Trump’s digital assets is factored in, with at least $436 million coming from foreign interests.
Additionally, Ranking Member Garcia launched a “Digital Grift Wealth Tracker” that tracks in real time the profits the Trump Family has already pocketed from their schemes and virtual payoffs during the second term of Donald Trump’s presidency, including from trading fees, revenue from foreign purchases, and accrued interest from holding assets for stablecoins—and the paper wealth of their various associated holdings. The tracker can be accessed here.
Key Excerpt from the Report
“President Trump and the Trump family have relentlessly pursued these schemes and virtual payoffs to profit from the presidency at an order of magnitude greater than any administration in history, including his own first term. The sheer size of the Trump family’s total earnings from such profiteering creates a new highwater mark for corruption. In July 2025, The New York Times estimated that cryptocurrency ventures had added as much as $7.1 billion to the Trump family’s total net worth. Tallying a mix of realized profits (or income that has already been deposited in the Trumps’ pockets) and some limited estimates of paper wealth (or the current speculated value of listed assets), The New Yorker estimated in August 2025 that the family has profited over $2.3 billion from such ventures. In September 2025, The Wall Street Journal highlighted approximately $500 million in realized profits and as much as $5 billion in paper wealth for the Trump family from just one of its digital currencies. A Reuters analysis in October 2025 found that the Trump family’s realized profit from such dealings totaled approximately $802 million in the first half of 2025, far outpacing the $62 million the family earned from its other income streams like its real estate, licensing, and golf club businesses.”
