Trump Revealed to Have Earned Over $1.16 Billion From Crypto Sales and Royalties, Including World Liberty Financial Tokens
The disclosure, required by federal law, lists more than 3,000 U.S. stock transactions and dozens of fees tied to entities bearing the Trump name. According to the FT’s Alex Rogers, Ian Hodgson, George Steer and Eva Xiao, the bulk of the crypto proceeds came from the Trump‑linked venture World Liberty Financial (WLFI). The form shows $526.8 million in revenue from the sale of WLFI tokens and $635 million in royalties from a licensing deal with a “Celebration Coins” project.
Trump still holds 15.75 billion WLFI tokens, which the disclosure values at roughly $900 million after a steep decline over the past year. The form also indicates that the president earned more than $33 million of the WLFI sale proceeds in Bitcoin and more than $150 million via the Ethereum blockchain.
World Liberty Financial was founded in 2024 by Trump’s sons Eric and Donald Jr. and the sons of U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff. The company has become one of the president’s largest income sources, according to the disclosure. Trump’s statements to reporters on 1 July 2026 said that “big institutions” manage his investments and that he does not personally discuss them. He added that he is profiting because the stock market is rising.
White House spokesperson Anna Kelly responded to the disclosure by saying, “Neither the president nor his family has ever engaged — or will ever engage — in conflicts of interest.” The statement was issued the same day the disclosure was made public.
The disclosure also reveals that Trump earned money from crypto after campaigning to make America “the bitcoin superpower of the world” during his 2024 presidential bid. The Office of Government Ethics notes that the form includes a wide range of crypto assets beyond WLFI, but the majority of the reported proceeds are tied to the Trump‑affiliated token.
The release of the disclosure comes amid ongoing scrutiny of the president’s financial ties to crypto ventures. While the form does not detail the identities of all investors in WLFI, the company’s public filings show that it has attracted significant capital from high‑profile crypto figures.
The disclosure is the most comprehensive public record of Trump’s crypto earnings to date. It underscores the growing intersection of U.S. political office and digital asset markets and raises questions about the adequacy of current disclosure requirements for high‑value crypto transactions.
As the disclosures are reviewed by the Office of Government Ethics, observers will watch for any follow‑up investigations or regulatory actions. The information also provides a benchmark for future disclosures of presidential financial activity involving cryptocurrency.
In short, the 2025 disclosure confirms that President Trump earned more than $1.16 billion from crypto sales and royalties, with World Liberty Financial tokens accounting for a significant portion of that income. The data will likely inform ongoing discussions about transparency, conflict of interest, and the regulation of crypto assets in the United States.
