Donald Trump earned more than $1.4 billion from cryptocurrency in 2025, including substantial profits from his own meme coin, according to his annual financial disclosure filed with the US Office of Government Ethics. The 927-page filing, released on July 1, 2026, details the president's extensive business interests and investments for the previous year.
Massive Crypto Earnings
The disclosure shows that Trump made over $1.4 billion from cryptocurrency ventures, a dramatic shift from his earlier skepticism about digital assets. In 2021, Trump called Bitcoin 'a scam' and said cryptocurrencies 'are not money.' Now, he has embraced the crypto industry, dubbing himself 'The Crypto President' and promising to build a 'strategic bitcoin reserve.'
Shortly before re-entering the White House in 2025, Trump launched a cryptocurrency that surged to a market cap of $6,384,122,903 (over £5.2 billion) within just 12 hours.
Scottish Golf Resorts and Other Income
The filing also revealed that Trump earned more than £30 million from his two golf resorts in Scotland last year. Additionally, he collected over $80 million in settlements from ABC, CBS, Meta, and YouTube. Other merchandise income included Trump-branded watches, Bibles, trainers, and perfumes.
White House Defends No Conflict of Interest
A White House spokesperson denied any conflict of interest, stating: 'Neither the president nor his family has ever engaged – or will ever engage – in conflicts of interest. President Trump proudly made the United States the crypto capital of the world through executive actions, supporting legislation like the Genius Act, and other common-sense policies to drive innovation and economic opportunity for all Americans.'
The spokesperson added: 'All actions by President Trump and his administration are taken in the best interest of the American people – and any so-called 'reporters' pushing otherwise are recycling the same, tired, false narrative that Democrats and the legacy media have been pushing for a decade.'
Trump's Changed Stance on Crypto
During his first presidency, Trump tweeted: 'I am not a fan of Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies, which are not money, and whose value is highly volatile and based on thin air. Unregulated Crypto Assets can facilitate unlawful behavior, including drug trade and other illegal activity.'
Forbes had estimated Trump's net worth at around $6 billion before this latest disclosure. The massive crypto earnings represent a significant portion of his wealth, though the White House maintains there is no conflict of interest between his business interests and his role as president.
