President Donald Trump reportedly earned over 1.4 billion USD last year through his family’s cryptocurrency ventures. This surge in crypto-related income is attributed to the pro-digital asset policies implemented during his administration.
According to the 2025 annual financial disclosure report submitted to the U.S. Office of Government Ethics (OGE) on Tuesday, Trump declared a total income exceeding 1.4 billion USD from his family’s cryptocurrency operations.
The primary revenue source was World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency platform co-founded by Trump, his eldest son Donald Trump Jr., and his second son Eric Trump.
The Trump family reported approximately 800 million USD in income, with over 520 million USD generated from cryptocurrency token sales and an additional 250 million USD from divesting World Liberty shares.
Trump also disclosed earnings of 635 million USD from the sale of his namesake meme coin, $TRUMP.
Profits from cryptocurrency ventures have exploded within a year. While last year’s financial disclosure reported 57.35 million USD in revenue from World Liberty-related token sales, this year’s figure surpassed 500 million USD.
Reuters, citing its own analysis, estimates that the Trump family’s earnings from various cryptocurrency projects since their return to the White House in January 2025 could reach at least 2.3 billion USD.
Since taking office, Trump has pursued industry-friendly policies, including establishing federal regulations for stablecoins and easing cryptocurrency industry oversight by the Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The White House rebuffed conflict of interest allegations. Press Secretary Anna Kelly stated that the President and his family have never engaged in conflicts of interest, nor will they in the future. President Trump has transformed the U.S. into a global cryptocurrency hub through executive orders and other initiatives.
She further asserted that all actions by the President and his administration are in the best interests of the American people, dismissing critical reports as outdated and false claims recycled by Democrats and mainstream media over the past decade.
While the White House has maintained that Trump’s businesses are managed by his children, Trump remains the ultimate beneficiary of the trust.
Beyond cryptocurrencies, Trump’s traditional real estate ventures continue to be lucrative. He reported that revenue from his golf courses and Lizzots exceeded 500 million USD, a 15% increase from the previous year.
Notably, revenue from the Mar-a-Lago club, a frequent presidential retreat, soared from 50 million USD to 77 million USD, while the nearby West Palm Beach Golf Club saw a 27% revenue increase. However, his Los Angeles golf course experienced a decline in revenue.
Trump also reported receiving over 80 million USD in settlement payments from various media lawsuits and earned millions by licensing his name to foreign real estate developers.
Ethics experts noted that while the president is not subject to the same conflict of interest regulations as other executive officials, this situation marks a significant departure from past practices, according to Reuters.
Don Fox, former acting director of the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, remarked that since Watergate, every president has managed their assets as if they were subject to conflict of interest regulations. However, President Trump has completely shattered that tradition.
He added that this case underscores the need for additional ethical reform legislation to restrict investment holdings for both the president and vice president.
