Trump owns more than $1 million in crypto and made $300K on branded Bibles, financial disclosure shows​

The branded Bible, listed in the disclosure as “The Greenwood Bible,” sells for $59.99 and includes a handwritten chorus to the song “God Bless the U.S.A.” by country singer Lee Greenwood, according to the branded Bible’s website. A limited edition copy that is said to bear Trump’s signature is also available on the website for $1,000.

Trump also has more than $1 million in cryptocurrency, the new documents show. His disclosure included details about a cryptocurrency wallet and “virtual ethereum key” holdings that he valued at $1 million to $5 million.

Trump’s public positions on crypto have shifted since he first took office, when he said the digital currency was a scam.

He has since embraced a hands-off approach from the government, with his campaign touting that he’s building a “crypto army.”

The shift came after lobbying from the industry — and signs that fostering the growth of crypto was popular among a segment of Trump’s base, particularly young men who spend time online.

Donald Trump flips on crypto: From 'scam' to building a 'crypto army'​

But just a few years ago, when Trump was in the White House, he made his thoughts on bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies clear.

“I am not a fan of Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies, which are not money, and whose value is highly volatile and based on thin air,” he said in a series of social media posts in 2019 while he was still in office. “Unregulated Crypto Assets can facilitate unlawful behavior, including drug trade and other illegal activity.”

“We have only one real currency in the USA,” Trump continued, “And it will always stay that way. It is called the United States Dollar!”

Donald Trump flips on crypto: From 'scam' to building a 'crypto army'

Once a “not a fan” of cryptocurrency, Trump has reversed course and is poised reap a $100 million windfall from an embattled industry looking for friends in Washington.

It appears that it's fine to promote a relatively new form of currency allowing for "unlawful behavior, including drug trade and other illegal activity” if it will get you some votes. The intrinsic value of cryptocurrency has remained the same over the years since the former Grifter-in-Chief said its value was based on thin air. But now he sees them as a means to garner votes so it's all good. Besides, if you own a $1M worth and you can use your platform to increase the value of your investment......heck.......that's America baby.

Cuz the presidency offers all sorts of opportunities. For Individual 1 those include getting richer, staying out of jail, and exacting revenge on people you don't like. Just like the Founders envisioned when they cobbled a country together with blood, courage, and intellect.

trump can afford to lose a million in cryprocurrency., and bitcoin is a better investment than truth social, do why not?

djt has lost 65% of its value since peaking at around $66. If he loses the election it will likely go bankrupt.

The point being trump has changed his position on the value of cryptocurrency because it is politically expedient. He's for sale if you can keep him out of jail.

I have no respect for a grifter marketing a religious book under his name for profit. Taking advantage of his status as a cult leader.

If any other politician did this they'd be excoriated by everyone.

Glad trump doesn’t associate with those sort of people

Did the dnc return all the money they got from that guy yet?

The premium on put options was crazy high from the get go. It was a clear message from the market djt is just as much of a scam as its founder. Ever since Biden dropped out the stock has been falling off a cliff because investors know it will essentially be worthless if Don loses. No one wants to pay attention to the rantings of an unhinged convict.

The market was overdue for a correction. It was set off by the weak jobs number a couple of weeks ago (putting a rate cut in question) but has since recovered due to low inflation numbers virtually assuring the Fed will cut in Sept.

If a Harris presidency was the issue the market would still be down given her rising poll numbers.
