Senator Elizabeth Warren has set a tight deadline for former President Donald Trump to disclose his cryptocurrency earnings for the first half of 2026. In a letter dated July 16, Warren calls for a detailed financial report on Trump’s crypto income and holdings from January through mid-July, with a submission date by July 23.
The urgency comes as the Senate debates the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, known as the CLARITY Act, which aims to create clear regulations for digital assets and tokens. Warren argues that lawmakers shouldn’t move forward with rules affecting crypto markets without fully knowing the president’s crypto financial interests, especially since Trump reported $1.4 billion in crypto earnings for 2025.
That $1.4 billion figure is startling it more than doubled Trump’s crypto income from 2024 and surpassed the revenue of many public crypto companies. The bulk of this wealth stems from World Liberty Financial, a Trump family venture deeply involved in digital asset trading and investment. Warren has previously flagged this company in communications with the SEC, concerned about possible conflicts of interest and the impact on investor safety.
The CLARITY Act is designed to clarify which digital tokens are securities or commodities and to set rules for exchanges and token issuers. It has support from Republicans and the White House, which puts Warren on alert. She worries that the legislation could unintentionally inflate the value of crypto assets tied to Trump’s family without proper ethical checks.
Warren’s demand for a mid-year crypto earnings disclosure is an attempt to expose these financial details before the law progresses further. Her letter builds on months of efforts to scrutinize Trump’s crypto dealings, including questioning the SEC about World Liberty Financial’s activities and the president’s potential influence over regulators.
This move adds a new layer to the ongoing clash between Congress and prominent crypto stakeholders. As lawmakers push for clearer crypto oversight, transparency about significant market players’ holdings, like those of Trump, becomes increasingly critical.
