According to the financial report, the US President received nearly $800 million from the crypto project World Liberty Financial and $635 million from the sale of memecoins. This became his largest source of income.

U.S. President Donald Trump reported over $1.4 billion in revenue from his family's cryptocurrency projects last year, showing how Trump now derives most of his income from digital assets that have benefited from his policies, according to a review of his latest financial disclosure on Tuesday, UNN reports citing Reuters.

The documents, his annual 2025 report to the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, revealed that his companies received nearly $800 million from World Liberty Financial, a crypto project he co-founded with his sons. This income, which the president shares with family members, included over $520 million from the sale of crypto tokens and over $250 million from the sale of stakes in the World Liberty business.

Trump reported another $635 million from the sale of his memecoins.

Recently, Reuters estimated that the Trump family has earned at least $2.3 billion from cryptocurrency-related projects since Trump returned to the White House in 2025.

After taking office, Trump began implementing policies and initiatives that the industry considered beneficial, from introducing federal regulations on stablecoins to ending oversight of the industry by the U.S. Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission.

For 2025, the U.S. president also reported over $80 million in income from settlements with various media companies and $52 million from his company that licensed his name to foreign developers, mainly from deals with Middle Eastern partners.

White House press secretary Anna Kelly said in a statement: "Neither the president nor his family have ever been involved — and will never be involved — in a conflict of interest. President Trump has proudly made the United States the cryptocurrency capital of the world through executive actions."

Kelly added: "All actions by President Trump and his administration are taken in the interest of the American people — and any so-called 'reporters' who insist otherwise are repeating the same, tired, false narrative that Democrats and legacy media have pushed for a decade."

Although the White House previously stated that the president's business interests are now controlled by his children, the president remains the beneficiary of assets in a trust that ultimately receives the income.

Despite cryptocurrency being the largest source of income for Trump, his traditional businesses, including golf courses and resorts, continued to generate millions.

In 2025, Trump reported a 15% increase in revenue from golf clubs and resorts to just over $500 million. The largest growth occurred at clubs where the president spent much of his time after his inauguration in 2025.

Revenue from his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida, which Trump called the Winter White House, rose to $77 million from $50 million in 2024, while revenue from his golf club in nearby West Palm Beach jumped 27%. Last year, revenues fell compared to Trump's course in Los Angeles.

Trump's income from his stakes in real estate — the business in which he made his name — saw less impressive growth. He reported income from a dozen major commercial real estate projects, mainly stakes in buildings he built or acquired decades ago. The document does not specify exact rental figures for properties like Trump Tower in New York, but rather income ranges. For most, the income range in 2025 was the same or lower than Trump reported ten years ago.

A representative of Trump's family business, The Trump Organisation, said in a statement that "the breadth and depth of this filing further underscores our commitment to transparency. At nearly 1,000 pages, it represents one of the most comprehensive financial disclosure reports ever filed and demonstrates a level of financial transparency unparalleled in presidential history."
