Trump’s financial disclosure lists $1.4 billion in crypto earnings, powered largely by meme coins
The annual report also includes $80 million in income from settlements tied to his lawsuits against companies like ABC, CBS, Meta and YouTube.
By
President Donald Trump earned more than $635 million from a licensing agreement with a cryptocurrency group specializing in “meme” coins bearing his name last year, an amount that pushed his total crypto holdings past $1 billion, according to a lengthy financial disclosure form he released Tuesday.
Summary
President Donald Trump disclosed roughly $1.4 billion in cryptocurrency-related earnings in 2025, making crypto one of the largest drivers of his personal wealth during his second term in office.
The biggest source of income came from a licensing deal tied to Trump-themed meme coins, which reportedly generated more than $635 million. Additional earnings came from crypto token sales and from the Trump family crypto venture World Liberty Financial. The disclosure showed hundreds of millions more tied to cryptocurrency wallets and related digital assets.
The nearly 1,000-page financial disclosure underscored the enormous scale and complexity of Trump’s business empire while serving as president. Historians and ethics critics quoted in the report noted that no recent American president has maintained such a broad network of active financial interests while in office.
The filing renewed criticism over potential conflicts of interest because Trump did not fully divest his assets or place them in a blind trust. At the same time, his administration has pursued strongly pro-cryptocurrency policies and promoted the United States as a global crypto hub. The White House denied any conflict of interest and said Trump’s assets are managed by outside financial institutions.
The disclosure also revealed large income streams from golf properties, branded licensing deals, legal settlements with media and technology companies, and investments in firms such as private prison contractor GEO Group. It additionally listed millions earned by first lady Melania Trump through licensing agreements tied to a documentary project.
Overall, the filing portrayed a presidency deeply intertwined with private business activity, particularly in cryptocurrency, on a scale without modern precedent.
