Trump Crypto Tax Break Could Be Worth Millions Amid CLARITY Bill Stalemate

A bipartisan ethics proposal aimed at securing passage of the crypto market structure bill in Congress could create significant tax benefits for US President Donald Trump.

The proposed addendum, which has not been made public, includes a provision requiring the president to divest from crypto-related businesses. This would reportedly allow Trump to defer capital gains taxes on any required divestitures, potentially leading to tax savings in the millions.

Trump's annual financial disclosure report for 2025 revealed that he earned $1.4 billion in income from crypto-related ventures last year, with the licensing and sale of memecoins such as Official Trump (TRUMP) generating the most income, at about $635 million.
