According to his mandatory financial filing for 2025, US President Donald Trump generated over $1 billion in income through cryptocurrency ventures during his first year back in the White House. A comprehensive 927-page document indicates that $635 million came from royalties associated with a $TRUMP token, which was released shortly before his inauguration. Additionally, the president earned more than $500 million from token sales linked to World Liberty Financial, a company involving both him and his family members. Under their agreement, the Trump family receives 75% of the firm’s revenue.
These figures represent a significant increase compared to the $600 million total income disclosed in his previous report. Despite the substantial earnings, the administration has pushed back against allegations of potential conflicts of interest. White House deputy press secretary Anna Kelly defended the president’s business activities, asserting that neither he nor his family have engaged in unethical behavior. Kelly stated that Trump is committed to establishing the United States as a global hub for cryptocurrency and dismissed criticisms as recycled narratives from political opponents and legacy media outlets.
