More than two billion US dollars in personal income: This is the sum US President Donald Trump (80) reports for the year 2025. This is according to a mandatory financial disclosure published by the U.S. Office of Government Ethics (OGE) on Tuesday. From the 927-page document, it becomes clear according to an analysis by the "Washington Post" that Trump received over 1.4 billion dollars from cryptocurrencies, digital tokens, and related partnerships alone.
The jump is enormous: In his disclosure a year earlier, Trump had reported an income of just over 600 million dollars and assets of more than 1.6 billion dollars. For 2025, the "Washington Post" estimates total revenues at more than 2.2 billion dollars, with reported assets of at least 2.4 billion dollars.
The Big Business with Cryptocurrency
The largest single item is a licensing agreement: Trump collected 635 million dollars in royalties from a company called "Celebration Coins", according to the documents. In addition, there are hundreds of millions from the crypto project World Liberty Financial, which Trump founded together with his sons - including proceeds from the sale of digital tokens and from a stablecoin transaction.
The White House dismissed any conflict of interest. Spokesperson Anna Kelly stated to "People" that Trump had made the USA "the crypto capital of the world". Neither the President nor his family had ever had or would ever enter into conflicts of interest; everything else was a "tired, false narrative".
Lawsuits, Golf Courses, and Mar-a-Lago
In addition to the crypto business, the disclosure lists 86.5 million dollars from settlements in five separate lawsuits - against the networks ABC and CBS as well as against YouTube, Meta, and the platform X. From real estate, hotels, and golf facilities, over 620 million dollars came in according to the "Washington Post". His Mar-a-Lago estate brought in 77 million dollars, after 56 million the previous year; the Trump National Doral golf club contributed 121 million.
