U.S. President Donald Trump has reportedly earned more than $57 million from the sale of crypto tokens linked to World Liberty Financial, a blockchain venture he co-founded with his sons, according to new federal financial disclosure documents released by the White House.
The financial report—spanning over 230 pages and issued by the Office of Government Ethics—details Trump’s extensive holdings, including stocks, dividends, real estate assets, and investment portfolios. The document revealed that Trump earned $57.4 million specifically from the sale of World Liberty Financial tokens, a major cryptocurrency initiative he supported during the 2024 campaign season.
Trump, who broke from tradition in 2016 by refusing to release his tax returns during his first presidential run, launched this crypto project shortly before returning to office. The move raised questions over possible conflicts of interest, especially given the surge in value of the tokens after his election victory.
He lent his name to this new company and launched a “Trump” memecoin in January, just hours before his inauguration.
World Liberty Financial reportedly issued 100 billion tokens, of which 22.5 billion were allocated to DT Marks Defi, a company tied to Trump and his sons.
From Crypto Skeptic to Blockchain Backer
Once known for his skepticism toward digital currencies, President Trump has shifted gears in his second term. His administration has moved to embrace blockchain technology and cryptocurrency investment, promoting a more crypto-friendly regulatory environment.
Trump has, among other moves, appointed crypto advocate Paul Atkins to head the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The president also launched a federal initiative called the “Strategic Bitcoin Reserve”, which aims to audit and manage the U.S. government’s bitcoin holdings—assets largely seized through law enforcement operations.
Cryptocurrencies now have “a champion and an ally” in the White House, Vice President JD Vance said last month during a bitcoin conference in Las Vegas.
Other Earnings from Trump-Branded Products
Beyond cryptocurrency, Trump’s financial disclosure lists lucrative earnings from global branding ventures. He reportedly received:
- $2.8 million from Trump-branded watches
- $2.5 million from perfumes and sneakers
His Florida-based Mar-a-Lago Club also contributed over $50 million to his income.
In addition, Trump’s luxury golf courses generated significant revenue:
- $29.1 million from the West Palm Beach location
- $110.4 million from the Miami course
He also receives a $6,484 monthly retirement payment from the Screen Actors Guild (SAG).
