- World Liberty Financial generated nearly $800 million for Trump companies.
- Trump reveals $635 million from selling his meme coins.
- Reuters estimates that the Trump family has earned at least $2.3 billion from crypto since 2025.
US President Donald Trump reported more than $1.4 billion in income from his family’s crypto ventures last year, showing how Trump now derives most of his income from digital assets that have benefited from his policies, according to a review of his latest financial disclosures on Tuesday.
The filing, his 2025 annual disclosure with the US Office of Government Ethics, detailed the fact that his companies received nearly $800 million from World Liberty Financial, a crypto venture he and his sons co-founded. That included more than $520 million from the sale of crypto tokens and more than $250 million from the sale of interests in the World Liberty business, with family members also owed a portion of that income.
Trump reported an additional $635 million from the sale of his Trump meme coins.
The revelation underscores how crypto has transformed the president’s income. In his disclosure last June, for example, the president reported $57.35 million from token sales at World Liberty, which then rose to more than $500 million in this year’s filing.
Reuters recently estimated that the Trump family has made at least $2.3 billion from crypto-related projects since Trump returned to the White House in 2025.
Upon taking office, Trump began introducing policies and initiatives seen as beneficial to the industry, from implementing federal regulations on stablecoins to scaling back enforcement of the industry by the US Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The president also reported over $80 million in revenue from settlements with various media companies and millions in revenue from his company licensing his name to overseas real estate developers.
White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly said in a statement: “Neither the president nor his family has ever engaged — or will ever engage — in a conflict of interest. President Trump proudly made the United States the crypto capital of the world through executive action.”
Kelly added, “Every action by President Trump and his administration is in the best interest of the American people — and all so-called ‘reporters’ pushing otherwise are recycling the same tired, bogus narrative that Democrats and the old media have been pushing for a decade.”
While the White House has previously said that the president’s business interests are currently overseen by his children, the president remains the beneficiary of the assets in the trust, which ultimately receives the income.
New wealth powered by crypto
While crypto is by far the biggest driver of income for Trump, his traditional businesses — real estate, especially golf courses and resorts — continued to bring in millions.
Trump reported a 15% increase in revenue at his golf and resort facilities to just over $500 million in 2025. The strongest increases were at clubs where the president has spent time since his inauguration in 2025. Revenue at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida, which Trump has dubbed the Winter White House, rose to $77 million from $50 million in 2024, while revenue at the nearby West Palm Beach club rose 27%. Revenue fell at Trump’s Los Angeles course last year.
Trump hosted the winners of his second annual meme coin contest at Mar-a-Lago in April.
A spokesman for the Trump family business, The Trump Organization, said in a statement that “the breadth and depth of this filing further underscores our commitment to transparency. At nearly 1,000 pages, it represents one of the most comprehensive financial disclosure reports ever submitted and demonstrates a level of financial transparency unmatched in presidential history.”
A spokesman for World Liberty Financial declined to comment.
Don Fox, a former acting head of the federal ethics office, which oversees ethics rules for federal workers and reviews financial disclosures, including Trump’s, said presidents and vice presidents are exempt from the ethics laws that prohibit conflicts of interest among executive branch employees.
“Every president in the post-Watergate era has managed his finances as if he had a conflict of interest,” Fox said. “With Trump, those norms are just completely out the window.”
“He’s making the case better than anyone that it’s time for further ethics reform. I think as far as legislation goes, one thing that could be done would be to limit the types of investments that he and the vice president … can hold.”
