Donald Trump’s 2025 Crypto Income Tops $1.4 Billion, Outpaces Real Estate

• Trump’s 2025 financial disclosure, released by the U.S. Office of Government Ethics on June 30, 2026, shows he earned more than $1.4 billion from crypto ventures, more than his real estate and resort businesses combined.
• World Liberty Financial delivered almost $800 million and the TRUMP meme coin added $635 million, together forming the bulk of the crypto total.
• The windfall arrived as the broader crypto market slumped, with Bitcoin down roughly 50% from its all-time high and hundreds of thousands of TRUMP coin buyers sitting on losses.

United States President Donald Trump earned more than $1.4 billion from crypto ventures in 2025, surpassing income from his real estate and resort businesses for the first time, according to his annual financial disclosure released Tuesday by the U.S. Office of Government Ethics.

The filing marks the clearest sign yet that digital assets now anchor his personal fortune more than hotels or golf resorts.

The 927-page report covers Trump’s second year back in the White House and lands amid an aggressively pro-crypto policy push from his administration. His crypto-related income has grown many times over compared with the prior year’s filing, underscoring how quickly his business interests have shifted toward digital assets.

White House principal deputy press secretary Anna Kelly defended the numbers, saying Trump has “proudly made the United States the crypto capital of the world.” Kelly added that neither the president nor his family has engaged in any conflict of interest tied to the earnings.

World Liberty Financial, the decentralized finance venture Trump co-founded with sons Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., funneled almost $800 million to Trump-linked companies last year, split between more than $520 million in token sales and more than $250 million from the sale of business interests. Trump reported another $635 million in royalties from his TRUMP meme coin, which launched days before his January 2025 inauguration under a licensing arrangement the filing attributes to an entity called Celebration Coins, according to IBTimes UK.

The disclosure also lists more than $50 million in Bitcoin and between $5 million and $25 million in ether held through Trump-affiliated entities, even as the wider sector cooled and Bitcoin fell roughly 50% from its all-time high. By contrast, his real estate holdings brought in smaller individual sums, including $122 million from Trump National Doral in Florida, $77.5 million from Mar-a-Lago, and $39 million from Trump Tower Chicago, the disclosure shows.

Retail buyers of Trump’s crypto products have fared far worse than the president. The TRUMP meme coin spiked above $74 shortly after launch but now trades near $1.68, while World Liberty’s own tokens have dropped about 80% since they began trading in September. Roughly 764,000 wallets that bought the TRUMP coin are sitting on losses, while just 58 wallets have collected more than $10 million each.

Critics say the gap between Trump’s returns and buyers’ losses illustrates a deeper problem. Don Fox, a former acting director of the OGE, told Reuters that presidential ethics norms are “totally out the window” given the scale of Trump’s crypto earnings. The disclosure has already reverberated in Congress, where the odds of the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act passing this year fell to 39% on Polymarket following the filing’s release.
