Trump reports over $1B in income from crypto and memecoin ventures in 2025 disclosure

President Trump disclosed more than $1 billion in income from cryptocurrency-related ventures during 2025, according to a financial disclosure released by the US Office of Government Ethics on June 30. Some estimates place the total crypto-related haul between $1.2 billion and $1.4 billion.

The disclosure spans 927 pages. Traditional revenue streams like property deals and brand licensing still appear in the filing, but digital assets have clearly become a dominant income category.

Where the money came from

The single biggest revenue driver was the $TRUMP memecoin, which launched on January 20, 2025, just before Trump’s inauguration. Licensing royalties from the token generated approximately $635 million during the coin’s peak performance period.

The $TRUMP token peaked at a multi-billion dollar market cap before cratering nearly 98%, eventually trading around $1.66.

The second major income source was World Liberty Financial, a family-linked cryptocurrency project that contributed more than $500 million in revenue. That figure breaks down into at least $236 million from token sales and over $65 million from equity sales, with additional revenue from other activities tied to the platform.

The Trump family owns approximately 38% of World Liberty Financial.

The personal crypto portfolio

Beyond the business ventures, Trump’s disclosure revealed a substantial personal crypto portfolio. He reported holding more than $50 million in Bitcoin and between $5 million and $25 million in Ethereum. The filing also listed positions in USDC, Chainlink, and AAVE.

Timing and market context

Bitcoin has reportedly declined by around 50% from its all-time high during the same period Trump was raking in over a billion dollars from the sector. Licensing royalties and token sale proceeds don’t depend on sustained price appreciation. They depend on initial demand and transaction volume, both of which the $TRUMP memecoin had in abundance during its early days.
