U.S. President Donald Trump reports staggering income from cryptocurrencies, golf resorts, and licensing agreements, revealing a deep entanglement between personal wealth and public office in newly released financial disclosures.
Financial Disclosure Reveals Trump’s Expanding Fortune from Digital Assets and Real Estate
U.S. President Donald Trump has disclosed hundreds of millions of dollars in income spanning cryptocurrency projects, luxury golf resorts, and international licensing deals, according to a public financial report released on Friday. The document offers a rare window into the vast and evolving business interests of the billionaire-turned-politician.
The annual financial disclosure, signed on June 13, appears to cover the 2024 calendar year. It highlights Trump’s accelerating pivot into the cryptocurrency space, while reaffirming the enduring profitability of his traditional business ventures, including real estate and branded merchandise.
Crypto Boom Boosts Trump’s Personal Wealth
Trump’s foray into digital currencies has proven immensely lucrative. A meme coin introduced earlier this year, named $TRUMP, alone generated an estimated $320 million in fees. However, the report did not specify how those profits were divided between Trump-controlled entities and his business partners.
The financial filings also disclosed that the Trump family earned over $400 million from World Liberty Financial, a decentralized finance (DeFi) firm. Trump personally reported earning $57.35 million from token sales through this venture and holds approximately 15.75 billion governance tokens.
Trump’s interests also extend to Bitcoin mining operations and digital asset exchange-traded funds, underscoring the former president’s aggressive expansion into the crypto economy.
Golf Resorts and Mar-a-Lago Continue to Deliver
While cryptocurrencies may be the most eye-catching line item, Trump’s traditional businesses remain robust. His three golf-focused resorts in Florida — Jupiter, Doral, and West Palm Beach — along with the Mar-a-Lago private members’ club, brought in at least $217.7 million during the reporting period.
The disclosures also list $5 million in licensing fees from a property development project in Vietnam, reaffirming Trump’s continued brand influence in international markets.
Royalties and NFTs Add to Revenue Stream
Trump’s brand continues to generate significant royalties. He reported $1.3 million from the Greenwood Bible, which is described as “the only Bible officially endorsed by Lee Greenwood and President Trump.” Other notable royalty sources include $2.8 million from Trump Watches and $2.5 million from Trump Sneakers and Fragrances.
In the digital collectibles market, Trump earned $1.16 million from NFT trading cards bearing his likeness. Meanwhile, First Lady Melania Trump reported earning around $216,700 from her own licensed NFT collection.
Questions Over Conflicts of Interest
Though Trump has stated that his businesses are held in a trust managed by his children, the financial disclosures confirm that income from these ventures continues to benefit the president directly. This ongoing connection has fueled criticism over potential conflicts of interest, particularly in policy areas like cryptocurrency where his administration has pushed favorable reforms.
The White House has not commented on the financial disclosure.
As Trump continues to wield influence across politics, tech, and business, the newly released report offers a comprehensive — and controversial — snapshot of how his public role intersects with a rapidly growing private empire.
