Vice President J.D. Vance reported earning as much as $7.4 million in 2025, the bulk of it from royalties tied to his 2016 memoir "Hillbilly Elegy," according to his annual financial disclosure released by the Office of Government Ethics.
The filing also reveals Vance holds cryptocurrency assets valued between $100,000 and $250,000. The disclosure doesn't specify which digital assets he owns or when he acquired them.
Financial disclosures filed by federal officials use ranges rather than exact figures. The $7.4 million upper bound for Vance's income reflects the maximum possible earnings from his reported sources. Book royalties account for the largest share of that figure.
Vance's crypto holdings place him among a small group of senior U.S. government officials with documented digital asset positions. His disclosure comes as crypto policy remains a focal point in Washington, with the industry intensely focused on executive-branch decisions around regulation and enforcement.
The filing covers assets and income through the end of 2025 and was made public by the ethics office as part of standard disclosure procedures for senior federal employees.
