President Donald Trump generated nearly $1.2 billion from his cryptocurrency businesses in 2025, according to a federal filing released this week. The earnings, detailed in an Office of Government Ethics disclosure, include $500 million from World Liberty Financial and $635 million from CIC Digital LLC, which sold Trump-branded "meme" coins. The filing also noted additional income from other ventures, including $4.7 million from Trump-branded watches and other merchandise.
The rapid growth of Trump's crypto ventures contrasts with his long-standing property portfolio, which took decades to build. The filing suggests that billionaire investors and Trump's efforts to quash federal crackdowns on the crypto industry contributed to the surge in revenue. However, reports indicate that investors in these ventures incurred significant losses as the value of the tokens and coins plummeted after their initial sales.
Beyond crypto, Trump also earned millions from overseas property deals, including $10.4 million from a project in the United Arab Emirates, $9 million from a Saudi Arabia venture, and $5 million each from developments in Romania and Qatar. These deals occurred as the U.S. negotiated with these countries on issues like tariffs and military aid.
