Claim
Trump's biggest earnings previously came from real estate, but last year his largest income came from the crypto business.
“पहले ट्रंप की बड़ी कमाई रियलस्टेट के बिजनेस से होती थी। लेकिन पिछले साल सबसे ज्यादा आमदनी उनकी जो हुई है वो हुई है क्रिप्टो बिजनेस से।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
Trump's 2025 annual financial disclosure, released by the US Office of Government Ethics on 2026-06-30 (two days before the broadcast), shows crypto ventures generated roughly $1.4 billion — his single largest income category — far exceeding the ~$290-500 million from real estate, golf and resort businesses that historically anchored his earnings. Multiple wire and mainstream outlets explicitly reported that crypto out-earned real estate for Trump last year, matching both parts of the anchor's claim.
