President Donald Trump’s cryptocurrency ventures generated more than $1.4 billion in reported income in 2025, according to his certified annual financial disclosure released by the U.S. Office of Government Ethics on June 30.
The filing shows that crypto became Trump’s largest reported source of income, surpassing earnings from his long-established real estate, golf, and resort businesses. Much of the reported revenue came from Trump-branded memecoins and the Trump family-backed decentralized finance (DeFi) platform, World Liberty Financial.

The disclosure marks one of the clearest official records yet of how central digital assets have become to Trump’s business interests.
Trump memecoin and World Liberty Financial lead crypto earnings
The financial disclosure attributes about $635 million in income to Trump-branded memecoins. According to Reuters, the earnings came through royalties linked to a licensing agreement with Celebration Coins.
World Liberty Financial also contributed hundreds of millions of dollars through token sales and other business interests connected to the Trump family.
The filing further lists cryptocurrency holdings, including Bitcoin, Ether, USDC, and other digital assets, stored in cold wallets. Galaxy Research highlighted the digital asset holdings after the disclosure became public.
Together, the memecoin business and World Liberty Financial accounted for the majority of Trump’s reported crypto income in 2025.
Will Trump’s crypto business continue to face scrutiny?
The disclosure has renewed debate over Trump’s financial interests as his administration continues to support policies viewed as favourable to the cryptocurrency industry.
White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly dismissed concerns about potential conflicts of interest, stating that neither Trump nor his family has engaged in, or will engage in, any conflicts of interest. She also said the president has worked to make the United States the “crypto capital of the world.”
The filing comes as lawmakers and advocacy groups continue to examine the relationship between Trump’s crypto businesses and government policy.
Congress and watchdogs keep pressure on crypto deals
Consumer advocacy group Public Citizen criticized the scale of Trump’s reported crypto earnings, calling on Congress to increase oversight of the president’s digital asset ventures.
The latest disclosure follows previous requests from Senate Democrats for hearings into a reported $500 million investment from the United Arab Emirates into World Liberty Financial. Lawmakers questioned whether the investment had any connection to later U.S. policy decisions involving arms sales and AI chip exports to the UAE.
Earlier reports also examined the TRUMP memecoin and a Mar-a-Lago event for leading token holders, during which Trump family-linked entities were reported to have generated more than $320 million in transaction fees since the token launched in January 2025.
The latest financial filing adds official government records to those reports, showing that cryptocurrency became Trump’s biggest reported source of income during 2025.
