Donald Trump reportedly earned about $1.2bn from family-linked crypto ventures in 2025, amid rising scrutiny over potential conflicts of interest and deregulation gains.
US President Donald Trump recorded around $1.2 billion (R19.7 billion) in income from his family's cryptocurrency activities during his first year back in office, according to financial disclosures released on Tuesday.
According to the 927-page document released on Tuesday by the US Office of Government Ethics, Trump received nearly $550 million from his ties to the startup World Liberty Financial in 2025.
World Liberty Financial (WLF) was co-founded in September 2024 by Trump's sons and the son of Trump's Middle East special envoy Steve Witkoff.
The filings also mention $635 million in royalties received under a licensing agreement related to the $TRUMP cryptocurrency, launched just hours before the president's inauguration in January 2025.
