United States President Donald Trump generated an estimated $1.2 billion from cryptocurrency-related businesses in 2025, according to newly released financial disclosure documents from the U.S. Office of Government Ethics.
The disclosures, published under federal ethics requirements, provide details of the president’s income, assets and financial interests across more than 900 pages.
World Liberty Financial drove major earnings
The filings indicate that Trump earned nearly $550 million through his involvement with cryptocurrency firm World Liberty Financial.
The Trump family backed the company before its launch in September 2024 and licensed the Trump name for the project.
After its debut, the company launched its WLFI digital token, with its initial token sale reportedly raising around $550 million.
The documents also state that Trump and his three sons, through an intermediary company known as DT Marks Defi, acquired 22.5 billion WLFI tokens, currently estimated to be worth approximately $1.3 billion.
$TRUMP token adds hundreds of millions
The disclosures further show that Trump received about $635 million in royalty income from a licensing agreement linked to the $TRUMP cryptocurrency.
The digital token was introduced just hours before his inauguration in January 2025.
In April 2025, World Liberty Financial also launched a U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin, expanding its presence in the digital asset market.
Wealth rises amid crypto expansion
According to Forbes, Trump’s increased involvement in cryptocurrency contributed significantly to the growth of his personal fortune.
The publication estimated that his net worth increased from $2.3 billion in 2024 to $6.5 billion in 2026.
The financial filings also revealed that Trump earned additional income from investments in publicly traded cryptocurrency companies, including exchange platform Coinbase.
Crypto involvement attracts scrutiny
Trump’s growing investments in the cryptocurrency sector have continued to attract criticism from some observers, who have raised concerns about possible conflicts of interest while he serves as president.
Critics argue that policies viewed as supportive of cryptocurrency deregulation may have benefited the industry and increased the value of digital assets.
According to the filings, Trump’s assets are currently held in a trust managed by his son, Donald Trump Jr. However, the trust can reportedly be dissolved, allowing the president to regain direct control of the assets after leaving office.
