President Trump's 2025 financial disclosure tells two stories. One: between $1.2 billion and $1.4 billion in personal earnings from cryptocurrency ventures. Two: over a million retail investors who bought the $TRUMP memecoin near its peak are sitting on losses of up to 98%.
Crypto was Trump's largest single revenue source this year. The disclosure, filed with the Office of Government Ethics, shows total reported income above $2.2 billion. The bulk came from two projects.
The first: roughly $635 million in royalties tied to the $TRUMP memecoin. That token launched days before Trump's inauguration in January 2025. At its peak, the memecoin's market capitalization hit about $15 billion. It has since fallen to below $400 million, a decline of roughly 97%.
The second: World Liberty Financial, the Trump family's broader crypto platform that debuted in September 2024. That project generated over $500 million from token sales and related activities. Combined with other crypto-adjacent income, the Trump family's digital asset ventures have pulled in an estimated $2.3 billion since January 2025.
