U.S. President Donald Trump reported more than US$1 billion in income from cryptocurrency-related ventures in 2025, according to a federal financial disclosure released this week, highlighting the rapid growth of his digital asset businesses since returning to office.
The filing with the Office of Government Ethics showed Trump generated nearly US$1.2 billion from crypto activities, with two major ventures World Liberty Financial and CIC Digital LLC accounting for the bulk of the reported earnings.
The disclosure marks a significant shift in Trump’s business portfolio, with cryptocurrency revenues now rivaling or exceeding income from long-established holdings in real estate, hotels and branded consumer products.
World Liberty Financial, a blockchain-based finance platform launched by Trump and his sons during the 2024 presidential campaign, generated more than US$500 million through sales of governance tokens, according to the filing.
The Trump family holds a substantial interest in the venture and receives about 75 percent of net proceeds from many token sales after expenses.

Another crypto-related business, CIC Digital LLC, generated more than US$600 million through sales of meme coins linked to Trump’s personal brand.
The earnings represent a dramatic rise for businesses that were relatively new when Trump returned to the White House in January 2025. Within a year, the crypto ventures had become among the strongest performers in his broader business empire.
Traditional assets, including golf clubs, hotels and property developments, continued generating income, but cryptocurrency-related activities emerged as the dominant source of revenue.

The financial disclosure also showed continued earnings from Trump-branded consumer products, including watches, sneakers and other merchandise. Watch sales generated about US$4.7 million, while other licensing arrangements contributed additional millions.
Real estate remained an important part of Trump’s wealth, with the filing showing tens of millions of dollars in fees and income from hotel, resort and condominium projects around the world.
A property development in the United Arab Emirates generated about US$10.4 million, while a Saudi Arabia-linked development contributed approximately US$9 million. Projects in Romania and Qatar each generated around US$5 million for Trump-related companies.
The figures have renewed scrutiny over potential conflicts of interest involving a sitting U.S. president’s private business interests, particularly as the administration has pursued policies aimed at supporting the cryptocurrency industry.
Trump has pledged to make the United States the “crypto capital of the world” and his administration has moved toward reducing regulatory pressure on digital asset companies.
Presidential financial disclosures are designed to provide transparency about potential conflicts between public duties and private financial interests. The latest filing covers income earned during calendar year 2025 and includes assets held through Trump’s revocable trust, of which he remains the sole beneficiary.

Trump’s sons have played prominent roles in managing the family’s business activities, including the cryptocurrency ventures.
The crypto earnings have drawn attention because digital assets often operate with less transparency than traditional businesses, and token values can fluctuate sharply after launch.
While early investors in some Trump-linked tokens reportedly experienced major declines in value after purchasing, the Trump family benefited from initial sales and revenue-sharing arrangements.
World Liberty Financial has described its platform as a project aimed at expanding financial access through blockchain technology. Its governance tokens allow holders to participate in certain protocol decisions, although Trump-related entities retain significant influence over the venture.
Meme coins associated with Trump operate differently, functioning largely as digital assets connected to his public image and political brand rather than traditional investment products.
The disclosure does not provide a complete picture of all Trump’s digital asset holdings or future income streams. It also lists separate cryptocurrency holdings, including Bitcoin and Ethereum.
The scale of the reported earnings places Trump’s crypto ventures at the centre of debate over the intersection of politics, digital finance and personal wealth, as the administration continues shaping policies affecting the fast-growing cryptocurrency sector.
