Donald Trump recorded around $1.2 billion in income from crypto-related activities during 2025, according to financial disclosure documents released Tuesday by the US Office of Government Ethics. A 1978 law requires the president and vice president to disclose their income and assets annually.
The filings, which run to more than 900 pages, show two main sources of income. Trump received around $550 million tied to World Liberty Financial, a crypto platform the Trump family backed and lent its name to after it launched in September 2024. The platform issued its own token, WLFI, whose initial sales generated $550 million. Trump and his three sons also received 22.5 billion additional WLFI units through an intermediary entity called DT Marks DeFi, with a current value of roughly $1.3 billion.
The second major source was the TRUMP$ meme coin, launched just hours before Trump’s inauguration in January 2025. The disclosures show he received $635 million in royalties under a licensing agreement tied to that token. World Liberty Financial also launched a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar in April 2025.
Beyond those two ventures, Trump received additional millions from equity holdings in listed crypto companies, including exchange Coinbase.
Taken together, the crypto income is the main reason Trump’s personal fortune has nearly tripled, rising from $2.3 billion to $6.5 billion between 2024 and 2026, according to Forbes.
