US President Donald Trump earned more than $US1.4 billion ($2 billion) from several cryptocurrency ventures, according to his latest financial disclosure.
It highlights just how central the crypto industry has become to his business empire.
The almost 1,000-page filing, released by the US Office of Government Ethics, offers a detailed snapshot of the president’s finances during his first year back in office.
Barack Obama’s and Joe Biden’s were eight and 11 pages long in 2015 and 2023, respectively.
Because many of the amounts listed on the disclosure form are reported as ranges, it is difficult to state exactly how much Mr Trump earned last year.
However, here’s a snapshot of some of the president’s finances.
$US1.4 billion — crypto-related income
Mr Trump earned more than $US635 million from a licensing agreement with a cryptocurrency group specialising in “meme” coins bearing his name, such as $TRUMP.
The $US635 million was earned from a group called Celebration Coins. A recent letter from five Democratic senators said the group, which is registered in Wyoming, facilitated a crypto conference held at Mar-a-Lago in April.
The senators called on their Republican colleagues to join them in forcing Trump administration officials to testify under oath about their cryptocurrency dealings.
Here is a breakdown of how much the president made from cryptocurrency in 2025:
- $US635 million in royalties from Celebration Coins
- $US236 million from crypto “token sales”
- $US65 million from Trump family crypto venture World Liberty Financial
- $US290 million from crypto currency wallets
World Liberty Financial was co-founded by Mr Trump, his sons and the family of special envoy Steve Witkoff in the middle of the 2024 presidential campaign.
The US president’s business dealings while in office have been subject to extensive scrutiny for its potential for corruption by the global press, allegations the White House has denied.
White House spokesperson Anna Kelly said in a statement to the ABC that neither Mr Trump nor his family “has ever engaged — or will ever engage — in conflicts of interest”.
“President Trump proudly made the United States the crypto capital of the world through executive actions, supporting legislation like the GENIUS Act, and other commonsense policies to drive innovation and economic opportunity for all Americans,” Ms Kelly said.
“All actions by President Trump and his administration are taken in the best interest of the American people.”
$US370k — gifts
The president was given tickets to sporting events worth thousands of dollars by professional team owners and the heads of various pro sports organisations.
Here is a breakdown:
- 10 Superbowl tickets worth $US50,000
- 10 US Open tickets worth $US25,000
- 10 FIFA World Cup Final tickets worth $US15,000
- 15 Daytona 500 tickets worth $US7,500
- 15 UFC 314 tickets worth $US3,750
- 5 NCAA Men’s Wrestling Champ tickets worth $US1,300
- 15 Yankees/Tigers MLB tickets worth $US3,000
- 15 Ryder Cup tickets worth $US11,250
- 15 Commanders/Lions NFL tickets worth $US2,250
$US4.7 million — Trump-branded watches
Mr Trump took in millions last year from selling branded bibles, sneakers and other small items.
The sale of Trump-branded watches alone brought in $US4.7 million.
Here’s a look at some of the other ways he has capitalised on his name and political brand:
- Greenwood Bible netted $US208,486
- Licensing deal for Trump Sneakers & Fragrances for $US67,634
- Endorsement of a 45′ Guitar for $US35,920
- Publishing agreements for Letters to Trump, Save America and A MAGA Journey for $US590,730, $US1,893,965 and $US552,685 respectively
$US290 million — real estate
Mr Trump took in tens of millions in fees from a flurry of new hotel, resort and condo deals overseas.
A property in the United Arab Emirates generated $US10.4 million for the Trump business.
Projects in Saudi Arabia being built by a real estate developer close to the ruling family sent the president’s company $US9 million. One in Bucharest, Romania, and another in Qatar sent him $US5 million each.
Meanwhile, Mr Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club generated more than $US77 million in income. That is a 50 per cent jump from the year earlier.
Revenue at his golf club in nearby West Palm Beach jumped 27 per cent.
Other income was also generated from Trump National Doral ($US122 million), Trump National Golf Club Bedminster, Trump National Golf Club Jupiter and Trump National Golf Club Washington, DC.
The financial disclosure suggests the income from his digital assets have now eclipsed in revenue much of his vast property portfolio that took him decades to accumulate.
$US250k — statue
A statue donated by Sticker Mule CEO Anthony Constantino depicting the president with his first raised after the assassination attempt he survived in Pennsylvania was valued at $US250,000.
$US80 million — lawsuit settlements
The annual report also included $US80 million in income from settlements tied to lawsuits he filed against companies such as the ABC, CBS, Meta, X and YouTube.
US First Lady Melania Trump is generating significant income through separate ventures.
She reported $US10.7 million in net proceeds from a licensing agreement connected to her self-titled documentary film, Melania.
According to the disclosure, the first lady also reported more than $US6 million in income from another licensing agreement covering non-fungible tokens (NFTs), which are digital images sold online.
Meanwhile, US Vice-President JD Vance’s 17-page disclosure reported income from his book, investment holdings and Bitcoin valued between $US250,000 and $US500,000.
