President Donald Trump recorded approximately $1.2 billion in income from his cryptocurrency activities in 2025, according to a 900-page financial disclosure that the US Office of Government Ethics released on Tuesday.
A 1978 federal law mandates that both the president and vice president of the United States publicly declare all income and assets.
The filings show that Trump received nearly $550 million through his ties to World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency platform that the Trump family supported and branded upon its launch in September 2024.
The platform generated $550 million from the initial sale of its native cryptocurrency, WLFI.
Through an intermediary company called DT Marks Defi, Trump and his three sons also secured an additional 22.5 billion WLFI tokens, which currently hold a market value of around $1.3 billion.
In April 2025, the platform expanded its portfolio by marketing its own dollar-pegged stablecoin.
The disclosure reports an additional $635 million in royalties from a licensing agreement for the $TRUMP cryptocurrency, which launched just hours before his inauguration in January 2025.
These aggressive moves into the digital asset sector drove the near-tripling of Trump’s personal fortune, which Forbes reports rose from $2.3 billion to $6.5 billion between 2024 and 2026.
Beyond his platform earnings, Trump collected several million dollars from shares in publicly listed crypto companies, including the Coinbase exchange platform.
Critics regularly accuse the former real estate developer of severe conflicts of interest, pointing out that he heavily invested in the cryptocurrency industry while simultaneously passing presidential measures to deregulate the sector, which directly caused asset prices to soar.
Although a trust managed by his son, Donald Trump Jr., currently holds the president’s assets, the trust bylaws allow for immediate dissolution at any time, meaning the billionaire can regain total control as soon as his second term ends.
