Trump Earned More Than $1.4 Billion From Crypto
Trump's latest financial disclosure shows crypto became his biggest income source in 2025.
Donald Trump reported earning more than $1.4 billion from cryptocurrency-related businesses in 2025, according to his latest financial disclosure. The filing shows that digital assets have become the largest source of his income.
The biggest contribution came from World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency project launched together with his sons. Companies linked to Trump generated nearly $800 million from the venture. More than $520 million came from token sales, while another $250 million was earned through the sale of ownership stakes in the business. Trump also reported $635 million in revenue from the sale of his own meme coins.
The figures represent a dramatic increase from the previous year. In his earlier financial disclosure, Trump reported $57.35 million from World Liberty token sales. According to previous estimates by Reuters, the Trump family has earned at least $2.3 billion from cryptocurrency projects since returning to the White House in 2025.
Since taking office, Trump has introduced several measures seen as favorable to the cryptocurrency industry. These include federal regulations for stablecoins and a reduction in enforcement actions by the Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Cryptocurrency was not Trump's only major source of income. His financial disclosure also lists more than $80 million from legal settlements with media companies and $52 million from licensing his name to overseas real estate developers, primarily in the Middle East.
Trump's traditional businesses also performed strongly. His golf courses and luxury resorts generated more than $500 million in revenue, an increase of 15% compared with the previous year. Revenue at the Mar-a-Lago club in Florida rose from $50 million to $77 million, while his golf club in West Palm Beach recorded a 27% increase. However, revenue from his Los Angeles golf course declined.
White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly said that neither Trump nor his family had engaged in any conflicts of interest. However, Don Fox, the former head of the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, argued that although the president is not legally bound by federal conflict-of-interest rules, Trump's approach to managing his business interests falls short of the standards established after the Watergate scandal. Fox said the case highlights the need for stronger ethics rules for holders of the nation's highest offices.
