Key takeaway Trump got more than $500 million from his World Liberty Financial business selling new crypto products, including “governance tokens,” according to the required annual disclosure report with the Office of Government Ethics.
Why this matters in The San Antonio
The substantial revenue generated by President Trump's crypto businesses, totaling nearly $1.2 billion, raises questions about the potential impact on San Antonio 's own emerging tech industry. As a city with a growing presence of startups and entrepreneurs, San Antonio may be affected by the trends and regulations shaping the crypto market. The fact that Trump's crypto ventures have eclipsed much of his traditional property portfolio in revenue suggests a significant shift in the way businesses are approaching investment and growth. Locally, this could mean increased attention and investment in San Antonio's own tech sector, potentially creating new opportunities for innovation and job creation. Additionally, the city's proximity to the border and its role in international trade may also be influenced by the Trump administration's dealings with countries like the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar, which have invested heavily in Trump's property portfolio.
