The guy who once called Bitcoin a “scam” just pulled in $1.4 billion from crypto in a single year. Donald Trump’s 2025 financial disclosure, submitted to the US Office of Government Ethics, reveals that digital asset ventures now dwarf the income from his decades-old real estate empire.
Total reported income for the year surpassed $2.2 billion, up from at least $622 million in 2024. Crypto didn’t just contribute to that figure. It dominated it.
Where the money came from
Two ventures did most of the heavy lifting. World Liberty Financial, a decentralized finance and stablecoin project co-founded by Trump and his sons, generated nearly $800 million in revenue. Of that, over $520 million came from token sales alone.
Then there’s the TRUMP meme coin, which launched on Solana just before Trump’s inauguration in early 2025. That project netted roughly $635 million, primarily through licensing royalties.
