Donald Trump disclosed over $1.4 billion in crypto income for 2025, marking it as his largest revenue source among business holdings.

President Donald Trump reported significant income from cryptocurrency, totaling at least $1.4 billion in 2025. This amount marks digital assets as his largest revenue source compared to other business ventures.

The financial figures were detailed in a comprehensive 927-page annual financial disclosure submitted to the US Office of Government Ethics. The report outlines income derived from companies and trusts linked to Trump, including some entities that involve holdings from family members.

Among these, CIC Digital, owned entirely by the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust, declared approximately $635.1 million in royalties thanks to a licensing deal with Celebration Coins. The company also revealed Bitcoin assets valued above $50 million, alongside Ethereum and USDC wallets valued between $5 million and $25 million each.

Furthermore, CIC Digital reported Ethereum staking rewards exceeding $510,000 and interest earnings of around $46,000 from its USDC holdings. This entity manages licensing fees for Trump-branded non-fungible tokens and meme coins, contributing to its substantial revenue stream.

Another key player in Trump's portfolio, World Liberty Financial, reported earnings exceeding $592 million through token distributions and an equity sale. This included $236.3 million from token sales and an additional $65.6 million from selling an interest in WLF Holdco along with further distributions via various cryptocurrency wallets.

In addition, Trump disclosed $196.9 million in proceeds from capital contributions and unit sales related to Stablecoin Holdco, which generated $8.3 million in operating income and was valued between $5 million and $25 million.

Trump's crypto income greatly surpassed revenues from his traditional properties. For instance, Mar-a-Lago earned around $77.5 million in resort revenue, while his Bedminster golf club reported $37.6 million.

This detailed disclosure underscores the substantial shift in Trump's business interests towards digital assets, prompting renewed scrutiny regarding potential conflicts of interest as his administration influences policies that affect stablecoins, crypto markets, and financial regulations.

Rather than placing his holdings in a blind trust, Trump opted to transfer several assets into his revocable trust, of which he is the sole beneficiary. The Office of Government Ethics concluded that Trump’s financial filing adhered to relevant laws and regulations.

The report appears amid a backdrop of declining Bitcoin prices, currently trading near $58,500, significantly below its record high of about $126,200 from the previous October.
