Trump Reported Over $1.4 Billion in Cryptocurrency Income: How the U.S. President Made His Money
1 July 06:54
U.S. President Donald Trump reported more than $1.4 billion in income related to his family’s cryptocurrency projects for the year 2025. This was reported by Reuters after analyzing the annual financial disclosure form filed with the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, according to "Komersant Ukrainian"
The new data shows that digital assets have become one of the main sources of income for the current U.S. president’s business empire.
How much did Trump report from cryptocurrency?
The total income related to Donald Trump and his family’s cryptocurrency projects exceeded $1.4 billion.
Main sources:
- nearly $800 million — revenue related to World Liberty Financial;
- $635 million — licensing revenue from the $TRUMP meme coin;
- smaller amounts — from other digital assets and cryptocurrency transactions.
These figures are reflected in the 2025 tax return, which was made public in 2026.
However, the tax return includes information on the income of companies and business entities in which Trump has a financial interest. Therefore, not all of the funds listed necessarily represent his personal net income after taxes, expenses, and distributions to family members.
World Liberty Financial generated nearly $800 million
Trump’s business entities received the largest portion of their funds from World Liberty Financial.
This is a cryptocurrency project founded with the participation of Donald Trump, his sons, and family partners.
According to Reuters, the nearly $800 million consisted of several components:
- over $520 million — proceeds from the sale of cryptocurrency tokens;
- over $250 million — from the sale of shares or interests in World Liberty Financial;
- other related payments and distributions.
Part of these funds belongs to the Trump family’s business entities and may be distributed among several beneficiaries.

What Is World Liberty Financial
World Liberty Financial is a cryptocurrency company founded with the participation of the Trump family in 2024.
The project positions itself as a platform in the field of decentralized finance. It issues its own tokens and develops digital financial products.
The president’s sons are involved in the business:
- Donald Trump Jr.;
- Eric Trump;
- Barron Trump.
Donald Trump himself has publicly promoted the project and has been presented as one of its main supporters.
World Liberty generated a significant portion of its revenue through the sale of tokens to investors.
The $TRUMP meme coin brought in another $635 million
The second major source of cryptocurrency revenue is the $TRUMP meme coin.
The filing reports approximately $635 million in licensing revenue related to the sale of tokens under the Trump brand.
The meme coin was launched in January 2025, a few days before Donald Trump’s inauguration.
The project quickly attracted investors’ attention thanks to the president’s name and his political influence.
At the same time, $TRUMP is a highly volatile digital asset, the price of which depends largely on demand, media hype, and political events.
Cryptocurrency has become Trump’s main source of income
Reuters notes that Donald Trump’s income structure has changed significantly.
Previously, his main sources of income were:
- golf clubs;
- hotels;
- resorts;
- real estate;
- Trump brand licensing;
- television and book contracts.
Now, a significant portion—and, according to some estimates, the majority—of his reported income comes from digital assets.
For comparison, in his previous tax return, Trump reported $57.35 million in income from the sale of World Liberty Financial tokens.
Over the course of a year, this amount has increased severalfold.
How Much Has the Trump Family Earned Since His Return to Power
In a separate investigation, Reuters estimated that the Trump family received at least $2.3 billion in revenue from cryptocurrency projects after Donald Trump returned to the White House in January 2025.
The calculation included:
- World Liberty Financial;
- the $TRUMP meme coin;
- trading in shares of affiliated companies;
- other digital assets;
- licensing and partnership agreements.
The investigation is available on the Reuters website.
This figure covers a broader time period and a larger number of businesses than the president’s annual financial disclosure.
How Trump’s Policies Have Impacted the Crypto Market
Upon returning to office, Donald Trump began implementing policies that the cryptocurrency industry viewed as favorable.
The presidential administration:
- supported the creation of federal regulations for stablecoins;
- eased some regulatory pressure;
- changed the Department of Justice’s approach to cryptocurrency cases;
- scaled back the Securities and Exchange Commission’s actions against certain crypto companies;
- supported the idea of transforming the U.S. into a global hub for digital assets;
- initiated the creation of a government Bitcoin reserve.
Against the backdrop of these steps, the president’s family’s cryptocurrency projects have received additional attention from investors.
What Else Did Trump Disclose?
In addition to cryptocurrency income, the U.S. president reported significant earnings from traditional businesses.
These include:
- over $500 million from golf clubs and resorts;
- $77 million in revenue from the Mar-a-Lago resort;
- over $80 million from deals and settlements with media companies;
- millions of dollars from licensing the Trump brand;
- income from real estate in the U.S. and other countries;
- royalties from watches, books, and merchandise.
Trump’s business empire continues to operate in many countries through licensing and development agreements.
