Donald Trump Earns $1 Bn from Crypto Ventures in 2025

President Donald Trump recorded around $1.2 billion in income from his cryptocurrency activities in 2025, according to documents released Tuesday by the US Office of Government Ethics. 

A 1978 law requires the president and vice president of the United States to declare their income as well as their assets. According to the documents, which are more than 900 pages long, Trump received nearly $550 million from his ties to the startup World Liberty Financial.

The



Trump family lent its support and its name to this cryptocurrency platform, launched in September 2024. World Liberty Financial issued its own cryptocurrency, WLFI, whose initial sale brought in $550 million.

Trump and his three sons also obtained, via an intermediary company, DT Marks Defi, an additional 22.5 billion WLFI, currently worth around $1.3 billion. In April 2025, WLF also marketed its stablecoin -- a digital currency whose value is pegged to a traditional currency, in this case the dollar.
