US President Donald Trump has declared income exceeding $1.4 billion from his family’s cryptocurrency projects for the year 2025, according to documents submitted to the US Office of Government Ethics and reviewed by Reuters.

Of this amount, approximately $500 million came from World Liberty Financial, a crypto initiative founded by Trump together with his sons. Another $635 million was generated from the sale of his TRUMP meme coins. Additionally, Trump reported over $80 million from settlements of legal disputes with various media companies, as well as millions of dollars in profit from a company that licenses his name to foreign real estate developers.

Reuters notes that this data sheds new light on the scale of the US president’s profits from his family’s investments in cryptocurrencies. According to the agency’s preliminary estimates, the Trump family has earned at least $2.3 billion from investors since he reassumed the presidency. The White House has not yet responded to requests for comment on these financial reports.

Earlier, in September 2025, the Trump family gained $5 billion after World Liberty Financial launched a new digital coin. In December 2025, shares of American Bitcoin, a crypto mining company supported by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, lost nearly 40% of their value.
