Trump Holds Over $1M in Crypto, Earns $300K from Branded Bibles

Former President Donald Trump's financial disclosure, released on August 15, 2024, revealed that he owns more than $1 million in cryptocurrency and has made $300,000 from selling branded Bibles. These financial details offer insight into Trump’s growing interest in the cryptocurrency space, marking a significant shift from his earlier stance when he called digital currency a "scam." His latest approach reflects a more hands-off governmental role in crypto, a position that has gained traction among a segment of his supporters, particularly young online users.

The branded Bible, known as "The Greenwood Bible," retails for $59.99 and includes a handwritten chorus of the patriotic song "God Bless the U.S.A." by Lee Greenwood. For those seeking something more exclusive, a limited edition with Trump's signature is priced at $1,000.

The disclosure also shed light on Trump's cryptocurrency investments, listing a wallet and "virtual ethereum key" holdings valued between $1 million and $5 million.

Trump’s evolving views on crypto, along with his campaign's promotion of building a “crypto army,” illustrate his attempt to capitalize on the increasing popularity of digital currencies among his base.
