Trump disclosure shows over $1 billion in crypto income from family ventures in 2025

Much of the President's earnings last year came from his family's crypto ventures, in which he secured more than $1.4 billion, according to his financial disclosures released this year.

The filings, his annual disclosure for 2025 with the US Office of Government Ethics, disclosed that his companies received almost $800 million from World Liberty Financial, a crypto venture he and his sons co-founded.

Donald Trump earned about $1.4 billion from cryptocurrency ventures in 2025, according to the annual financial disclosure his administration filed with the US Office of Government Ethics on June 30, making digital assets the single largest source of income during his first full year back in the White House. The 927-page filing, released to the […] This story continues at The Next Web

President Trump made a whopping $117 million from foreign business interests in the first year of his second term as president, a new report found. The progressive nonprofit Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) released a report Monday examining Trump’s personal financial disclosure, which he released last month. The organization found he made almost as much in 2025 from overseas ventures ($117 million) as he did during his entire first term (at least $149 million). Trump reported a total of 28 different accounts each with at least $50,000 in revenue, the report said, compared to just nine accounts in the last year of his first term. Trump made more than $2 billion from all of his businesses in 2025, thanks in large part to cryptocurrency, again more than the $1.7 billion he made during his first term as president. The foreign income stands out for Trump, as it undermines his America First rhetoric. But it also raises questions about foreign governments, companies, and individuals using money for influence peddling with the White House, as well as the U.S. government overall. Trump has taken in over $500 million in foreign income since 2014, and the true number could exceed $650 million, according to CREW. That number will likely increase for the rest of Trump’s second term, as there are currently 24 Trump-branded developments in progress overseas, 13 of which began after he announced he was running for a second term in 2022. These include new developments in the United Arab Emirates, where Trump has already made several corrupt deals. Trump and his family don’t care about any conflicts of interest in his second term, and their businesses are operating without the fear of accountability. Congress isn’t stepping in to investigate Trump’s businesses now, but that could change after November if Democrats take over. Even then, the president and his family will use every legal resource to evade scrutiny.

The entrepreneur is known in Washington as the financial power behind the president’s crypto fortune. How did Sun’s business love-in with the Trump family spiral into dueling lawsuits?The most infamous financial scandal in US presidential history – the 1920s Teapot Dome affair – involved President Warren G Harding’s interior secretary Albert Fall taking roughly $400,000 in bribes. Adjusted for inflation, that’s about $6m today. Last year, Donald Trump made at least $2.2bn; his single year of income is on the order of 200 to 300 times larger than the bribe that defined “presidential corruption” in the American imagination for a century.It’s taken for granted that Trump flogs items like Trump Bibles and gold sneakers as a way to wring more money from his loyal base. But of the president’s $2.2bn, at least $1.4bn came from his crypto businesses. That’s an extraordinary achievement, even for an unscrupulous sitting president. How exactly did he do it without any prior background in crypto? Continue reading...

U.S. President Donald Trump earned more than $1.4 billion from family cryptocurrency ventures over the past year, yet his latest financial disclosure indicates that he invested much of those proceeds in traditional assets rather than keeping them in digital currencies. According to an analysis by Reuters, the filing reflects a strategy focused on generating profits in the cryptocurrency market before moving wealth into stocks and bonds. Crypto Success Fueled Growth in Traditional Investments Trump and two of his sons have actively promoted cryptocurrency ventures, including World Liberty Financial and the president's own memecoin. Together, those projects generated more than $1.4 billion for Trump in 2025. Over the past two years, the value of his stock and bond holdings increased at least fourfold. Reuters linked that growth to cash generated from the family's cryptocurrency businesses. By the end of 2025, Trump's portfolio of traditional financial assets carried an estimated value of between $703 million and $2.6 billion, according to the disclosure, compared with a range of $225 million to $608 million a year earlier.
