Claim
Trump's core business is real estate, but in the past year he earned far more from cryptocurrency than from real estate.
“राष्ट्रपति ट्रंप का असली बिजनेस रियल स्टेट का है। लेकिन पिछले एक साल में रियलस्टेट से कहीं ज्यादा कमाई क्रिप्टो करेंसी से की है”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
Trump built his fame and fortune in real estate, but his 2025 federal financial disclosure (released by the U.S. Office of Government Ethics in late June 2026) shows he earned roughly $1.2-1.4 billion from cryptocurrency ventures ($TRUMP meme coin and World Liberty Financial) versus about $575 million from real estate holdings out of $2.2 billion total income. Crypto was decisively his largest income source, exceeding real estate — matching the anchor's claim.
