Trump raises record $250 million in donations for inauguration - media
US President-elect Donald Trump is celebrating his return to the White House by raising a record $250 million for inaugural events.
This is reported by ABC News, Censor.NET reports.
According to sources, this amount includes the official Trump-Vance Inaugural Committee, as well as other major Trump fundraisers who organized his inaugural celebrations.
It is noted that the money raised in 2025 exceeded the amount of Trump's first inaugural campaign in 2017, which raised $107 million.
In his campaign, Trump received significant donations from tech giants: $1 million each from Meta, Apple, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, and Uber.
ABC adds that this is the first time Meta has participated in an inaugural fundraiser. Apple, Amazon, Google, and Microsoft have contributed to previous presidential inaugurations.
Trump's Inaugural Committee also received large donations from the cryptocurrency industry, including $5 million from Ripple, $2 million from Robinhood, and $1 million from Coinbase.
Other large corporations that have historically donated to presidential inaugurations have also made donations this time around, including Bank of America and Boeing.
On the eve of the inauguration, President-elect Donald Trump held his last rally, where he touched on the usual topics of his campaign, including TikTok, the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, the wildfires in Los Angeles, and his plans to issue executive orders on the first day of his second term.
