US President Donald Trump recorded approximately $1.2 billion in revenue from digital currency-related activities in 2025, according to documents released by the US Government Ethics Office on June 30.
According to the law enacted in 1978, US presidents and vice presidents must declare their income and assets.
AFP reported that the 900-page file shows that Mr. Trump received nearly $550 million thanks to connections with the digital currency startup World Liberty Financial (WLF), launched in September 2024.
World Liberty Financial has issued its own digital currency WLFI. The first token sale has raised about 550 million USD.
Through the intermediary DT Marks Defi, Mr. Trump and his 3 sons also received 22.5 billion WLFI tokens, currently valued at about 1.3 billion USD.
By April 2025, WLF will continue to issue stablecoin - a digital currency priced at a traditional currency, in this case the USD.
The income statement also states that President Trump received $635 million in royalties under a licensing agreement related to the $TRUMP cryptocurrency, which was launched just hours before his inauguration in January 2025.
According to Forbes, activities in the cryptocurrency sector are the main driving force helping President Trump's personal assets increase nearly 3 times, from $2.3 billion in 2024 to $6.5 billion in 2026.
In addition to revenue from WFL and related cryptocurrencies, Mr. Trump also earned millions of dollars from holding shares in a number of listed companies operating in the cryptocurrency sector, including the Coinbase exchange.
According to the file, the US President's assets are currently placed in a trust fund managed by his son Donald Trump Jr. However, the fund's charter stipulates that the fund can be dissolved at any time, meaning that Mr. Trump can regain direct control of this asset immediately after the US presidential term ends.
