Trump crypto holdings complicate CLARITY Act vote

Trump crypto holdings complicate CLARITY Act vote

Crypto market structure talks in Washington now run into a harder political problem: the US president's own crypto exposure. Donald Trump's 2025 financial disclosure, filed June 29 and certified June 30, lays out income and holdings across many of the same asset categories the CLARITY Act would regulate.

The filing shows more than compliance paperwork. CIC Digital LLC reported a Bitcoin cold wallet worth over $50 million, an Ethereum wallet worth $5 million to $25 million, a USDC wallet worth $5 million to $25 million, and $510,808 in Ethereum staking rewards through Coinbase. It also reported $635,068,835 in royalties from a license agreement with Celebration Coins, tying the disclosure to the TRUMP memecoin.

Another Trump-linked entity, DT Marks DeFi LLC, reported $65.6 million from an equity sale and $236.25 million in World Liberty Financial token-sale proceeds. Related wallets disclosed BTC and ETH valued at over $50 million, plus exposure to LINK, AAVE, ENA, MOVE, and ONDO. DTTM Operations LLC also reported 15.75 billion World Liberty Financial governance tokens valued at over $50 million.

That matters because Senate support for the CLARITY Act is still tied to ethics language. The bill cleared committee 15-9 in May, but floor passage needs 60 votes. The Senate returns July 13, and August is widely seen as the last realistic window for passage in 2026.
