The post Trump Quietly Earned $57M from Family-Backed Crypto, New Filing Shows appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
The Office of Government Ethics has released Donald Trump’s 2025 financial disclosure, a massive 234-page report. It reveals that Trump earned over $57 million from World Liberty Financial, a crypto firm linked to his family, and holds a huge amount of WLFI tokens.
The report also lists several other sources of income, showing just how much Trump is profiting across various ventures. Here’s a breakdown of the key earnings.
Trump’s Stronghold In Crypto
The disclosure, made public by the Office of Government Ethics, revealed that Trump earned $57.35 million from selling tokens linked to his family’s crypto firm, World Liberty Financial.
He also holds 15.75 billion governance tokens, making this one of his biggest income sources so far.
Apart from this, last week Forbes reported that Donald Trump’s net worth has climbed to $5.6 billion. Interestingly, nearly half of his liquid assets are now tied to crypto. In less than a year, Trump has made over $1.2 billion from crypto-related ventures alone.
Interestingly, Trump’s involvement here shows a change in attitude. He was once critical of digital currencies, but now seems to be embracing them, especially when the profits are this high.
Big Profits Beyond Crypto
Apart from crypto, Trump continues to make millions from his well-known real estate empire. His Florida properties—including Mar-a-Lago, Doral, and Jupiter—brought in over $217 million.
He also cashed in on his brand name. The disclosure shows:
- $3 million from a coffee table book.
- $2.8 million from Trump watches.
- $2.5 million from Trump-branded sneakers and fragrances.
- $1.15 million from NFT licensing and royalties.
- $1 million from collectible guitars.
Add to that another $700,000+ from speaking gigs—and it’s clear Trump’s income streams remain diverse and many more.
Debts and Legal Troubles Still Loom
The filing also lists over $100 million in unpaid real estate loans. Trump is still battling several legal cases, including the $454 million civil fraud judgment and $88 million defamation payout, though both are currently paused due to appeals.
Despite these liabilities, Trump’s crypto earnings stand out. They show that even traditional political figures are now diving into digital assets, and walking away with millions.
