In the first half of 2025, the Trump family's cryptocurrency income significantly exceeded the funds the family of the US president received from their more traditional types of business. But even greater income, amounting to more than $10 billion, could be brought to the Trumps by unrealized profits from crypto assets.
UNN reports with reference to Reuters.
Details
The family of the US president earned more than $800 million from the sale of crypto assets in the first half of 2025 alone. This year, the funds received from cryptocurrency in the first half of the year significantly exceeded the income from the Trump family's traditional types of business.
According to a Reuters study, the Trumps received $33 million from golf clubs and resorts this year, and income from licensing the current White House chief's name to foreign real estate developers was about $23 million.
It is also known that the Trump family received $463 million exclusively from the sale of World Liberty tokens. This amount also includes income of up to $75 million from the purchase of Aqua tokens.
The family of the 47th US president also earned $336 million from the sale of Trump meme coins.
Due to the lack of transparency in the Trump meme business, estimates of coin revenues have a higher degree of uncertainty than estimates of WLFI token sales revenues.
Meme coins, such as the $TRUMP coin, are currently a popular trend in the world. But these are essentially collectibles. Their value reflects the popularity of an internet joke, meme, or personality associated with them.
What are the advantages for owners of Trump-backed governance tokens?
World Liberty tokens, like most crypto products, are registered on digital ledgers called blockchains. But WLFI tokens offer owners only limited voting rights in business plans, unlike governance tokens for similar projects.
WLFI tokens are not securities; they are digital assets with real utility, including governance rights that benefit holders as the platform grows. .. The stated valuation and analysis of WLFI revenues are inaccurate and misleading.
The identities of most WLFI token buyers are hidden behind opaque "wallet" addresses — unique identifiers that investors use as keys to access and manage their assets.

But there is a small list of large buyers whose identity is known - these are representatives of various countries, including investors from the United States. According to Reuters, most have a history of legal conflicts related to their business activities. It was foreign investors who were the main target for token sales in the Trump family's strategy.
At the same time, in its study, Reuters indicates that for many investors, the participation of the Trump brothers meant an opportunity to profit from the name of the US president's family.
Seoul-based venture investment firm Dorji Rabten, Oddiyana Ventures, acquired WLFI tokens for an unknown amount in January. Rabten stated that he had never met the Trump sons, but the family's involvement was a key factor in his investment.

In October, UNN reported that the price of Bitcoin fell to $121,525.6 after reaching a record high of over $126,000. The decline was attributed to profit-taking and investor uncertainty about the economic situation in the United States.
