U.S. President Donald Trump earned $57.4 million from the sale of crypto tokens via World Liberty Financial, according to newly released ethics filings, fueling ongoing concerns over conflicts of interest.
U.S. President Donald Trump made more than $57 million from cryptocurrency token sales linked to a venture he and his sons helped establish, newly released federal financial disclosure forms reveal.
The over 230-page document, issued by the Office of Government Ethics and made public by the White House, offers a comprehensive view of the president’s extensive financial holdings. It includes a detailed breakdown of Trump’s income from investments, real estate, stock dividends, and licensing agreements.
Among the standout entries in the report is Trump’s $57.4 million earnings from the sale of tokens issued by World Liberty Financial — a crypto investment and lending platform launched ahead of last year’s presidential election. The involvement of the president and his sons in the venture had previously raised concerns over potential conflicts of interest, particularly after Trump went on to win the presidency.
Trump further lent his name to the platform by launching a “Trump” memecoin in January, just hours before his inauguration. According to the document, World Liberty Financial issued 100 billion tokens, allocating roughly 22.5 billion to DT Marks Defi, a company affiliated with the Trump family.
The disclosures also shed light on additional revenue streams, including royalties from a wide range of Trump-branded products. The president earned $2.8 million from sales of watches and $2.5 million from perfumes and sneakers, highlighting the global reach of the Trump brand.
Trump’s real estate assets continue to deliver substantial income as well. His Florida-based Mar-a-Lago club generated over $50 million, while his golf resorts also posted considerable earnings. The West Palm Beach course brought in $29.1 million, while the Miami facility accounted for a staggering $110.4 million in income.
The financial report comes amid ongoing scrutiny over the intersection of Trump’s business interests and public office, particularly as the president maintains deep financial ties across industries. The World Liberty Financial venture and its associated token sales have been at the centre of ethical debates, with critics pointing to the influence such activities could exert on regulatory decision-making.
The disclosures paint a picture of a president whose fortune continues to grow through a blend of traditional assets and aggressive ventures into digital finance — with cryptocurrency now firmly part of the Trump financial empire.
