Claim
A Reuters investigation found that since Trump became President last year, his family has earned ₹21,850 crore from the crypto business up to April this year.
“न्यूज़ एजेंसी रॉयर्स की इन्वेस्टिगेशन में यह पता चला कि पिछले साल ट्रंप के राष्ट्रपति बनने के बाद से उनके परिवार ने क्रिप्टो बिजनेस से इस साल अप्रैल तक ₹21850 करोड़ की कमाई की है।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
A Reuters investigation did find that the Trump family earned at least $2.3 billion from four crypto ventures from around the start of his presidency (Nov 2024/Jan 2025) up to April 2026. Converting $2.3 billion at the prevailing ~₹95/USD rate yields ≈₹21,850 crore, matching the anchor's figure. The framing (Reuters investigation, Trump family, crypto business, 'up to April this year') aligns closely with the primary reporting, so the claim is accurate; the only minor imprecision is that Reuters stated 'at least $2.3 billion' (a floor), and the rupee figure depends on the exchange rate used.
