Trump reports over $1.4 billion in crypto income for 2025, disclosure shows

A federal filing reveals President Donald Trump earned more than $1.4 billion from cryptocurrency ventures last year, with World Liberty Financial and $TRUMP meme coin sales driving the surge.

Crypto income dominates disclosure

President Donald Trump reported more than $1.4 billion in income from his family's cryptocurrency ventures in 2025, according to a financial disclosure filed with the U.S. Office of Government Ethics on June 30. The 927-page document shows that digital assets now account for the bulk of his earnings, eclipsing the real estate portfolio he built over decades. The filing details over $500 million from World Liberty Financial, a crypto firm he co-founded with his sons, and $635 million from sales of the $TRUMP meme coin.

Breakdown of the billions

The disclosure breaks down the income streams. World Liberty Financial contributed more than $500 million, while CIC Digital LLC, which issues the $TRUMP token, brought in $635 million in royalties. Trump also reported over $80 million from settlements with media companies and millions from licensing his name to overseas property developers. Smaller brand deals added $4.7 million from Trump-branded watches alone.

White House pushes back on ethics concerns

White House deputy press secretary Anna Kelly rejected any suggestion of conflicts of interest, stating that Trump had made the U.S. "the crypto capital of the world" through executive actions and legislation like the GENIUS Act.

Neither the President nor his family has ever engaged - or will ever engage - in conflicts of interest. All actions by President Trump and his administration are taken in the best interest of the American people.

— Anna Kelly

Kelly added that critics were recycling a "tired, false narrative" pushed by Democrats and legacy media.

From real estate to digital assets

Trump's crypto ventures were startups when he took office in January 2025, but they have since generated profits that dwarf his traditional property income. Reuters previously estimated that the Trump family has earned at least $2.3 billion from investors since his return to the presidency. The Ouest France report noted that Trump's personal wealth tripled from $2.3 billion to $6.5 billion between 2024 and 2026, according to Forbes.

A rapid timeline of ventures

World Liberty Financial launched in September 2024, followed by the $TRUMP meme coin just days before the inauguration. In April 2025, WLF introduced a stablecoin pegged to the U.S. dollar. The ventures have benefited from Trump's deregulatory policies, which have boosted crypto markets.
