A sitting US president has reported over $1.4 billion in income from crypto ventures in a single year. That sentence would have sounded like satire five years ago. It is now a line item in a federal financial disclosure.
President Donald Trump’s annual filing, submitted in June 2026, details how the Trump family’s various digital asset businesses generated extraordinary sums throughout 2025, a year that coincided with a sweeping shift toward pro-crypto policy in Washington.
Where the money came from
The single largest contributor was World Liberty Financial, a decentralized finance platform co-founded by Trump family members that launched in September 2024. WLF sells governance tokens, meaning buyers get voting rights over the platform’s direction, and the Trump family collects a large cut of the proceeds.
WLF’s token sales contributed approximately $800 million to the total figure. That breaks down to over $520 million from governance token sales and more than $250 million from separate business interests connected to the platform.
