The president's crypto income far outpaces his earnings from real estate and Trump-themed items such as watches. The 937-page filing shows Trump made hundreds of millions of dollars from World Liberty Financial and so-called Celebration Coins. President Donald Trump took in nearly $1.2 billion dollars from his crypto businesses last year, a federal filing released Tuesday shows, locking in profits while his investors were socked with losses.
President Trump's annual financial disclosure report showed he made more than a billion dollars in cryptocurrency last year, including hundreds of millions from selling Trump meme coins. Token sales and meme coin royalties are the new driver of the US president’s personal wealth.
BBC News reported the story as "Trump made more than $1bn from crypto in first year back in office." The Guardian US reported the story as "Alarm bells over conflict of interest as filing shows Trump raked in $2bn in 2025." Washington Examiner reported the story as "Trump made over $1 billion from crypto businesses in 2025, filing shows."
