How Trump earned more than $1 billion from crypto after returning to the White House: Report

According to his official 2025 financial disclosure report, US President Donald Trump reportedly brought in a massive financial windfall of more than $1 billion from his family’s cryptocurrency business dealings during his first year back in the White House.

In line with the 927 page disclosure, he brought in $63million in royalties from a Trump meme coin that has tumbled significantly in value since its official launch before he took office.

A cryptocurrency firm founded by his family also reported over $500million in income from World Liberty Financial. Moreover, the reports indicated that he earned millions more real estate and Trump-themed items.

Notably, the earnings from his current financial filing surpass those from last year, when Trump revealed over $600m of income. The White House has repeatedly underlined that Trump has placed its businesses in a major trust managed by his sons, disavowing any conflict of interest.

In this connection, White House deputy press secretary Anna Kelly said: “ Neither the President nor his family has ever engaged, or will ever engage in conflicts of interests.”

“All actions by President Trump and his administration are taken into the best interest of the American people, and any so-called reporters pushing otherwise are recycling the same, tired and false narrative that Democrats and the legacy media have been pushing for a decade.”

On Tuesday, a financial document disclosure revealed that his crypto earnings outshine income from his real estate business. The reports revealed that these included $4.7million in royalties from Trump-endorsed watches, Bibles, trainers, fragrances and guitars.

As reported by the BBC, First Lady Melania Trump also listed her financial details in the 2025 disclosure. She made $10.7million from a license agreement linked to a documentary about her that was officially released last year. On the contrary, $6m in income is also listed for her from the crucial sales of NFTs which are computerized images sold online.

The White House has clarified that majority of the funds of his lawsuit funds went towards Trump’s future presidential library; however after his return to the White House, Trump welcomed an amiable strategy to the crypto industry even as companies linked to his family issued digital assets.

The president’s business assets are currently owned by his son Donald Trump Jr.

Furthermore, its bylaws designate that the entity can be terminated at any time, which primarily means the billionaire could reclaim authority as soon as his second term ends in 2029.
