Era enero de 2025, la fiebre de las criptomonedas estaba en pleno auge y Donald J. Trump se preparaba para regresar a la Casa Blanca. Así que cuando una amiga de Fatime Elrgdawy le habló de un mensaje en línea del presidente electo de Estados Unidos promocionando el lanzamiento de su propia criptomoneda -"¡Consigue tu $TRUMP ahora!"- pensó: "¡Dios mío, esto es genial!". Si Trump le ponía su nombre, Elrgdawy recuerda haber pensado: "Debe ser una inversión legítima".

| The Japan Times
For years, Donald J. Trump has followed a simple playbook for making money: He lent his marquee name to a product, a company or a real estate project, often invested little to no money in it, touted it heavily, and waited for the cash to ⁠pour in. Since mid-2024, when he was campaigning for what would become his second presidential term, Trump and his family have applied the same template to the freewheeling world of cryptocurrency — with spectacular results.

Si Trump ponía su nombre detrás, recuerda haber pensado Elrgdawy, “tenía que ser una inversión legítima”.

2022年7月、シンガポールにあるテスラのサービスセンターで撮影。REUTERS/Chen Lin [アムステルダム ２０日 ロイター] - 米電気自動車（ＥＶ）大手テスラ(TSLA.O), opens new tabが１月、米規制当局に提出した年次報告書によると、同社が２０２５年度に払った米連邦税はゼロだった。 これは今に始まったことではない。 テスラは過去２０年間に米国内で計２６４０億ドルの売上高を計上したが、この間に米連邦税を納めたのは１年だけだった。納税が少ない最も明らかな理由は、１０年以上に及ぶ赤字期間の損失に関連して税控除を受け続けてきたことだ。米政府のグリーンエネルギー減税措置も、テスラの負担軽減に寄与した。...

How Reuters tallied the Trump Organization’s crypto income Original

By Tom Bergin

Most of U.S. President Donald J. Trump’s business empire is privately held, with few reporting requirements and little transparency, so calculating a reliable estimate of the Trump Organization’s earnings from crypto and other sources for the first half of 2025 required some sleuthing. The process entailed reviewing the president’s official disclosures, property records, financial records released in court cases, crypto trade information and other publicly available sources.
