President Donald Trump’s latest financial disclosure has offered the clearest look yet at how deeply cryptocurrency has become woven into his business empire.
A newly released 927-page filing with the U.S. Office of Government Ethics shows Trump generated more than $1.1 billion from crypto-related ventures over the past year alone. The filing also sheds light on how his family-backed crypto businesses have quietly become one of his largest wealth generators while his administration pushes a more crypto-friendly agenda.
According to the filing, Trump reported earning over $515 million from WLF token sales, along with another $65 million from selling equity in the company’s holding business. The project has rapidly evolved into one of the family’s largest revenue streams since its launch.
The filing follows earlier estimates from Reuters that the Trump family’s crypto ventures have generated at least $2.3 billion from investors since Trump returned to office. Part of that expansion included the sale of a 49% stake in WLF to a company backed by an Abu Dhabi royal, further boosting the project’s reach.
Another standout figure came from the official TRUMP memecoin, which launched just days before Trump’s inauguration.
The disclosure shows Trump received approximately $635 million in royalties tied to the token, making it one of the single biggest contributors to his crypto income during the year.
Together, WLF and the TRUMP token accounted for well over $1 billion in crypto-related earnings, showcasing how digital assets have quickly become a central pillar of Trump’s personal fortune.
While crypto dominated the headlines, the filing shows Trump continues earning heavily from his traditional businesses.
His golf clubs and hospitality properties generated more than $290 million, including revenue from Mar-a-Lago, while legal settlements with companies including Meta, ABC, CBS, YouTube, and X added at least $86.5 million.
The report also disclosed investments in companies such as CoreWeave, the former Bitcoin mining firm that has shifted into AI infrastructure, along with holdings in gold bars valued between $500,000 and $1 million. Adding to the family business, First Lady Melania Trump earned more than $10.7 million from her documentary and over $6 million through licensing agreements involving NFTs and digital collectibles.
According to Forbes, Trump’s net worth has climbed to roughly $6.5 billion, with cryptocurrency now standing alongside real estate and hospitality as one of the biggest drivers of his growing wealth.
