Trump Earned Over $57 Million from Crypto Venture, Financial Disclosure Reveals

U.S. President Donald Trump pocketed more than $57 million from the sale of digital tokens linked to a crypto venture he and his sons helped launch last year, according to newly released federal financial disclosure forms.

The 230-page document, dated Friday and issued by the Office of Government Ethics, outlines Trump’s extensive holdings—including investments, real estate, dividends, and branded product royalties.

Among the standout entries: Trump earned $57.4 million from the sale of World Liberty Financial tokens, a cryptocurrency project tied to the investment and lending platform he co-founded ahead of last year’s election. The disclosure has reignited conflict-of-interest concerns, particularly given the platform’s surge in visibility following Trump’s electoral victory.

Trump lent his name to the venture and launched a “Trump” memecoin in January—just hours before his inauguration. World Liberty Financial issued 100 billion tokens, with approximately 22.5 billion allocated to DT Marks DeFi, a Trump-affiliated entity.

Once skeptical of the crypto industry, Trump has reversed course since returning to power. He has taken sweeping steps to embrace digital currencies—streamlining regulations and making bold financial moves. His administration has appointed Paul Atkins, a known crypto advocate, as chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Additionally, Trump established a federal Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, tasked with auditing government-held bitcoin—most of which was seized by law enforcement through criminal investigations.

“Cryptocurrencies now have a champion and an ally in the White House,” Vice President JD Vance said last month at a Bitcoin conference in Las Vegas.

Trump’s Financial Empire Still Expanding

The disclosure report also outlines Trump’s global revenue streams from branded merchandise and properties. He earned:

• $2.8 million from sales of watches

• $2.5 million from perfumes and sneakers

• Over $50 million from his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida

• $29.1 million from his West Palm Beach golf course

• A staggering $110.4 million from his Miami golf property

Trump also continues to receive a monthly $6,484 pension from the Screen Actors Guild (SAG), reflecting his previous career in television and entertainment.

The release of these financial details comes amid renewed scrutiny of Trump’s business dealings and personal profits during his time in office. Notably, Trump has continued to reject calls to release his income tax returns—a break from the tradition followed by most modern U.S. presidents.
