Trump’s crypto empire generated more than $1bn in annual earnings

United States President Donald Trump earned more than $1 billion from his cryptocurrency ventures last year.

This is according to a federal financial disclosure released on Monday, significantly boosting his overall annual income.

Since returning to office for a second term, Trump and his family have expanded their investments in digital assets and crypto-related businesses.

Early in 2025, he declared his ambition to make the United States the “crypto capital of the world.”

His crypto income comes in addition to earnings from legal settlements, real estate holdings and royalty agreements.

Many of Trump’s cryptocurrency businesses were still in their early stages when he began his second term, but they have since generated more revenue than much of his longstanding real estate portfolio, built over decades.

Their rapid growth has been driven by support from billionaire investors and the administration’s rollback of the federal government’s crackdown on the cryptocurrency industry.

Trump earned more than $500 million from his flagship cryptocurrency venture, World Liberty Financial, through the sale of digital products, including governance tokens, according to his 2025 annual financial disclosure filed with the Office of Government Ethics.

The disclosure also showed that another crypto business, CIC Digital LLC, generated more than $600 million from the sale of Trump-branded meme coins launched just days before his inauguration. The digital tokens, which feature Trump’s image, were marketed as collectible assets rather than traditional cryptocurrencies.

“Neither the President nor his family has ever engaged – or will ever engage – in conflicts of interest,” said Anna Kelly, a White House spokesperson. “President Trump proudly made the United States the crypto capital of the world through executive actions, supporting legislation like the GENIUS Act, and other commonsense policies to drive innovation and economic opportunity for all Americans.”

The value of Trump’s cryptocurrency ventures, including his tokens and meme coins, has declined sharply since they were launched, despite generating significant revenue from initial sales.

Beyond crypto, Trump also earned millions of dollars last year from the sale of Trump-branded products, including Bibles, sneakers and other merchandise, marking another unusual source of income for a sitting president. His financial disclosure showed he made $4.7 million from sales of Trump-branded watches alone.

The rapid growth of Trump’s crypto earnings is particularly striking given the substantial income he also generated from his real estate business.
