Trump earned over $1 billion on cryptocurrency and coin ventures last year

In almost 1,000 pages of financial disclosure forms, the president’s earnings from crypto, settlements and resorts far outpaced his $600 million total income in 2024.

President Donald Trump reported more than $1.4 billion in income from crypto, digital tokens and related partnerships in 2025, appearing to have substantially increased his income after reentering the White House last year.

The income was reported in 927 pages of financial disclosure forms, which the White House released Tuesday.

In his 2024 financial disclosure, filed a year ago, Trump reported earning more than $600 million in total income.

In addition to the income from coin sales and other ventures, the president reported receiving $86.5 million from settlements in five separate lawsuits against ABC, CBS, YouTube, Meta and the social media platform X.

The 2025 disclosure includes $635 million in royalties from a license agreement with Celebration Coins; at least $525 million in proceeds from token sales by World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency project founded by Trump and his sons; $65 million in proceeds from World Liberty Financial’s equity sale; and $196 million in net proceeds from a stablecoin transaction.

Trump also saw increased income from his golf clubs and resorts. He reported $121 million from Trump National Doral in 2025, up from $110 million a year earlier, and $77 million from Mar-a-Lago, up from $56 million.

In response to a request for comment about Trump’s significant increase in income from crypto and similar ventures, White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly said that Trump had “proudly made the United States the crypto capital of the world through executive actions, supporting legislation like the GENIUS Act, and other commonsense policies to drive innovation and economic opportunity for all Americans.”

“Neither the President nor his family has ever engaged — or will ever engage — in conflicts of interest,” Kelly continued, saying any suggestion otherwise is a “tired, false narrative.”

The hundreds of pages of disclosure reports give only a partial picture of Trump’s extensive assets. Government rules require that asset values be reported in ranges, with the maximum being “over $50 million,” which leaves the full value of the president’s holdings unclear.

Trump’s disclosures are in stark contrast to Vice President JD Vance’s filing, which came in at 17 pages. Vance, however, also saw a boost in at least one category of income: royalties for “Hillbilly Elegy,” the memoir he released in 2016.

Vance reported earning $50,000 to $100,000 from the book in 2024. Last year, that range shot up to $1 million to $5 million, Vance disclosed.
