President Donald Trump’s annual financial disclosure, released by the U.S. Office of Government Ethics on Tuesday, totals 927 pages and reveals more than $580 million in crypto-related income for 2025, the first year of his second term. According to the filing, the income includes approximately $515 million from sales of WLFI governance tokens issued by World Liberty Financial (WLF), a Trump-linked cryptocurrency firm, and an additional $65 million from sales of equity in WLF’s holding company. The report also shows $635 million in royalties from “Celebration Coins,” which Bloomberg reported are tied to Trump’s memecoin business. [1][2]
Crypto income from World Liberty Financial
World Liberty Financial, a crypto company co-founded by members of Trump’s family and the children of his special envoy Steve Witkoff, generated the bulk of the president’s digital-asset revenue. The disclosure states that about $515 million came from WLFI token sales and $65 million from equity sales in WLF’s holding company. [1] The firm issues the WLFI governance token and the USD1 stablecoin.
The scale of Trump’s crypto earnings during his first full year back in office far exceeds the $600 million in total income he reported in his last financial disclosure before leaving office in 2021, according to the BBC. [1] A previous Reuters investigation, cited in a New American report, noted that the Trump family’s fortune surged in 2025, with more than $800 million in crypto asset sales in the first half of the year alone.

Additional income and stock transactions
Beyond crypto, Trump disclosed $635 million in royalties from “Celebration Coins,” which the Bloomberg news service reported are linked to CIC Digital LLC, his memecoin business. [1] His golf and club properties reported more than $290 million in income, led by Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, Trump National Doral in Miami, and clubs in Bedminster, New Jersey, and Jupiter, Florida, according to the filing.
The disclosure also details significant stock purchases by Trump. On August 18, 2025, he made three successive trades in Apple, Microsoft, and Nvidia, each valued between $5 million and $25 million. The Nvidia purchase came one week after Trump announced that Nvidia and AMD had agreed to give the U.S. government 15% of their H20 chip sales to China in exchange for export approval. Additionally, Trump bought Amazon stock worth between $500,000 and $1 million on September 23, the same day a Federal Trade Commission lawsuit against Amazon went to trial. [1]
Liabilities, legal settlements, and gifts
Trump’s disclosed liabilities include jury verdicts in favor of writer E. Jean Carroll, who accused him of sexual assault. The Supreme Court recently declined to hear Trump’s appeal of a $5 million verdict for sexual abuse and defamation, while an $83.3 million defamation verdict remains under appeal, according to the filing. [1] The report also lists over $86 million in settlements from media companies including ABC, CBS, Meta, YouTube, and X.
Gifts valued at more than $370,000 include 10 tickets to the FIFA men’s World Cup worth $15,000 from FIFA President Gianni Infantino, 10 Super Bowl LIX tickets from New Orleans Saints owner Gayle Benson, tickets to UFC events from Dana White, and a $250,000 statue from Sticker Mule CEO Anthony Constantino depicting Trump with his fist raised after an assassination attempt. [1] A separate line item shows an investment in gold bars valued between $500,000 and $1 million.
Spousal income, Vance disclosure, and late fees
First Lady Melania Trump reported $10.7 million in net proceeds from a license agreement for her self-titled documentary film, “Melania,” and $6,011,259 from sales of NFTs and other collectibles. She also earned $521,161 from a license agreement with the film’s publisher, Skyhorse. [1]
Vice President JD Vance’s 17-page disclosure shows bitcoin holdings valued between $250,000 and $500,000, along with earnings from his book, the firm Narya Capital, and the Rise of the Rest Seed Fund. [1] Trump’s filing notes that he paid late filing fees for transactions not previously reported on periodic transaction reports, though the total amount is not specified. The standard late fee is $200 per transaction according to the Office of Government Ethics.
