President Donald Trump earned more than $1 billion from crypto sales and royalties last year while living in the White House and pursuing aggressively pro-crypto policies in his administration.
Even as the president increased his fortune from sometimes contentious crypto industry ties, the rest of the sector headed into a rough patch in which assets have plummeted in price and businesses struggle. Bitcoin is down some 50% from its all-time high seen last fall.
Trump's annual disclosure for 2025, released Tuesday by the Office of Government Ethics, revealed he made $635 million in royalties from his memecoin business, which began hawking his self-named coin on the eve of his return to the presidency. He also pocketed more than $500 million from token sales connected to World Liberty Financial, the crypto company that he and his family have maintained an ownership stake in, even as it's drawn conflict-of-interest complaints while it seeks U.S. regulatory approvals.
The same section also noted Trump holding up to $250,000 in USD, up to $15,000 in the USDC stablecoin, more than $50 million in Ethereum's ether (ETH), more than $50 million in bitcoin BTC$58,517.00 and a combined $6 million and change in various other cryptocurrencies under DT Marks Defi LLC, the Trump Organization-affiliated entity that has the stake in World Liberty.
The president also disclosed a number of other crypto crypto holdings through CIC Digital LLC, a Trump Organization affiliated entity that is one of the two main owners of the president's memecoin business, including:
- more than $50 million in bitcoin BTC$58,517.00
- $25 million in Ethereum's ether (ETH)
- $25 million in USDC
- an equity stake in Coreweave, the bitcoin miner that shifted toward AI
- another stake in a "stablecoin holdco" held under DT Marks SC LLC., a business that generated $8 million in revenue last year, tied to an investment from Abu Dhabi Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan
White House spokespeople didn't immediately respond to a request for comment on the disclosures. Wealth disclosed on government financial reports can be difficult to assess, because they include wide ranges of valuation.
Vice President James David Vance disclosed holding somewhere between $100,000 and $500,000 worth of Bitcoin through a Coinbase account in his own annual disclosure.
