President Trump’s 2025 financial disclosure reveals he earned more than $1.2 billion from cryptocurrency business ventures during the year, a staggering increase from the $57 million he made from crypto in 2024, according to filings released on June 30, 2026.
The bulk of the crypto earnings came from two sources: $635 million in royalties tied to his meme coin through a licensing agreement with Celebration Coins, and more than $500 million from token sales at World Liberty Financial, a decentralized finance company he helped launch with his sons.
The 2025 figure dwarfs Trump’s total business income from the previous year. In 2024, his combined income from all sources—including golf clubs, licensing deals, and real estate—totaled around $600 million. The cryptocurrency ventures alone now represent his largest income stream.
World Liberty Financial has been central to Trump’s crypto strategy since its unveiling during his 2024 presidential campaign. According to Reuters, the business earned $57 million in late 2024 and $618 million in the first half of 2025 from selling tokens. The Trump family receives 75 percent of net proceeds when the platform sells tokens, as well as a share of stablecoin profits, according to publicly available terms.
The meme coin royalties stem from a licensing arrangement tied to the $TRUMP token, which launched just days before Trump took office in January 2025. The token generated immediate demand, and the royalty structure channeled hundreds of millions to Trump through CIC Digital LLC, the entity he uses to license his name and likeness.
Trump’s disclosure also shows he holds significant cryptocurrency assets. He reported more than $50 million in Bitcoin and governance tokens worth billions, positioning cryptocurrency as a core component of his financial portfolio alongside traditional real estate and business holdings.
The 2025 earnings represent a sharp reversal in Trump’s public stance toward digital assets. During his first term, he had been skeptical of cryptocurrency. Upon returning to office in 2025, his administration issued an executive order on January 23 aimed at supporting “the responsible growth and use of digital assets, blockchain technology, and related technologies,” signaling a pro-crypto policy shift.
