Trump Reports $57.4 Million Income from Crypto Venture in 2025 Ethics Disclosure
U.S. President Donald Trump has declared over $57 million in income from World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency initiative he is backing alongside his sons, Donald Jr. and Eric Trump.
The figure, disclosed in Trump’s 2025 financial report filed with the U.S. Office of Government Ethics on June 13, highlights his significant involvement in the digital asset space. According to the filing, Trump holds 15.75 billion governance tokens in the venture, which also provide him with voting rights in the project.
Although the document does not clarify whether this income stems from token sales, staking, or other financial activities, the substantial amount—reported as exactly $57,437,927—implies that some monetization has occurred or that the tokens are being valued at a significant internal rate for disclosure purposes.
Crypto Fundraising and High-Profile Backers
Launched in September 2024, World Liberty Financial has quickly positioned itself as a player in decentralized finance (DeFi), emphasizing dollar-pegged stablecoins and offering an alternative to the traditional banking system. In March, the company revealed it had raised a total of $550 million across two public token sales—$200 million in its first round and $250 million in the second.
The venture has drawn notable backing from the crypto community. Justin Sun, founder of Tron, invested $30 million in November 2024 in exchange for 2 billion WLFI tokens at a price of $0.015 per token. Web3Port followed with a $10 million stake in January, while Oddiyana Ventures joined as a strategic investor, though the size of its investment remains undisclosed.
Trump’s Expanding Digital Asset Footprint
Trump’s financial filings have previously included earnings from NFT ventures, such as the Trump Digital Trading Cards collection. However, the latest disclosure indicates no new revenue from NFT activities in the past year.
The filing also lists his ongoing involvement in several digital-focused holding companies, including CIC Digital LLC and CIC Ventures LLC, although these entities reported minimal or inactive income for the current cycle.
As required, Trump certified that all information provided in the disclosure is “true, complete, and correct to the best of [his] knowledge,” and the report remains subject to oversight by the Office of Government Ethics.
