US President Donald Trump earned more than $1.2 billion (approximately €1.05 billion) from cryptocurrency-related businesses during his first year back in office, according to a federal financial disclosure released by the White House. The filing offers the clearest picture so far of how digital assets have become a major contributor to the President's business earnings.
The 927-page disclosure, submitted to the US Office of Government Ethics, shows that Trump's crypto ventures generated more revenue than several of his long-established real estate businesses. The earnings stem primarily from token sales and other digital asset ventures launched by members of the Trump family and their business partners.
The filing identifies World Liberty Financial as one of the largest revenue sources, generating more than $500 million through the sale of governance tokens. Another major contributor was the $TRUMP meme coin, which reportedly produced around $635 million in revenue from token sales.
The disclosure comes as Trump's estimated personal wealth has risen sharply since returning to office. Independent estimates suggest his net worth has increased significantly over the past two years, with cryptocurrency now representing one of the fastest-growing segments of his business portfolio.
While the businesses generated substantial revenue, many investors experienced heavy losses. The $TRUMP token, which surged shortly after its launch, has since fallen sharply from its peak. Tokens issued by World Liberty Financial have also lost much of their market value since entering public trading.
The financial disclosure reports revenue rather than profit, meaning it does not indicate how much Trump personally retained after taxes, operating expenses or other business costs.
The White House rejected suggestions that the President's business activities present ethical concerns. Administration officials said Trump's financial interests comply with federal disclosure requirements and maintained that decisions made by the administration are focused solely on serving the interests of the American people.
Beyond cryptocurrency, the filing outlines continued growth across Trump's international business operations. Real estate licensing agreements and development projects in the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Romania and Vietnam generated millions of dollars during the reporting period. The disclosure also shows increased income from Mar-a-Lago, licensing agreements and a range of branded consumer products.
Under US law, the President and Vice President are required to disclose their income, assets and financial interests each year. The latest filing is expected to draw renewed attention from lawmakers and ethics experts as digital assets continue to play a growing role in Trump's business empire while he serves in office.
