Donald Trump's annual financial disclosure for 2025 shows at least $1.4 billion in cryptocurrency-related income, making digital assets the largest single source of earnings during his second term. The 2025 filing was released by the U.S. Office of Government Ethics and spans more than 900 pages, covering the first year of Trump's second non-consecutive term.
Trump reported $635 million in royalties tied to what the disclosure describes as "Celebration Coins," connected to CIC Digital LLC, his meme coin business.The $TRUMP meme token launched on the Solana network just days before Trump retook office in January 2025. Separately, he pocketed more than $500 million from token sales connected to World Liberty Financial, the crypto company that he and his family have maintained an ownership stake in, even as it has drawn conflict-of-interest complaints.
The prior year's filing, released in June 2025, showed about $57.35 million from World Liberty token sales, meaning the 2025 total is roughly 25 times larger.
Trump also disclosed holding more than $50 million in Bitcoin, stored in cold wallets, according to the filing.The Bitcoin sits inside The Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust, dated April 7, 2014, of which the president is the sole beneficiary.Trump also reported holding between $5 million and $25 million in Ethereum, among other digital assets.
The numbers reignited a familiar debate over conflicts of interest, with ethics groups arguing that a sitting president should not profit from industries his own policies directly touch.White House spokesperson Anna Kelly dismissed those concerns, stating that neither the president nor his family has ever engaged in conflicts of interest.Even as Trump increased his fortune from crypto industry ties, the broader sector headed into a rough patch in which assets have plummeted in price and businesses struggle.
