Trump’s Crypto Earnings Top $1.2 Billion in 2025 Financial Disclosure
The U.S. Office of Government Ethics released President Donald Trump's annual financial disclosure on Tuesday, revealing over $1.2 billion in earnings from cryptocurrency ventures in 2025. The 900-page report details income from various businesses, with crypto as a major component. Trump reported over $50 million in Bitcoin and $5-25 million in Ethereum. His meme coin TRUMP generated $635 million almost exclusively from royalties via Celebration Coins. Launched on Solana days before his January 2025 inauguration, it briefly reached a multi-billion-dollar market cap but has since dropped 98% to about $394 million. Additionally, Trump reported $588 million in net proceeds from World Liberty Financial, a DeFi stablecoin venture. The disclosure follows a May filing showing gains from crypto-related stocks like Robinhood and Coinbase. Trump's crypto involvement remains controversial among lawmakers, with Democrats opposing the Clarity Act without ethics language barring presidential family crypto business.
