President Donald Trump earned more than $1.4 billion from cryptocurrency in 2025, including substantial profits from his own meme coin, according to a newly released annual financial disclosure. The 927-page filing, submitted to the US Office of Government Ethics, details Trump's vast business interests and investments for the year.
Massive Crypto Profits and Scottish Golf Revenue
The filing reveals that Trump made over $1.4 billion from cryptocurrency, which he has actively promoted while in office. In addition, his two golf resorts in Scotland generated more than £30 million ($38 million) in revenue last year. However, that amount pales in comparison to his crypto earnings.
Trump also collected more than $80 million in settlements from media companies including ABC, CBS, Meta, and YouTube. Forbes had previously estimated Trump's net worth at around $6 billion before this latest disclosure.
White House Denies Conflict of Interest
A White House spokesperson stated: "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."
From Crypto Skeptic to 'Crypto President'
Shortly before returning to the Oval Office 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. This marked a dramatic shift from his previous stance on digital currencies.
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." In 2021, he called Bitcoin "a scam" and said it "competes against the dollar."
Now, Trump has dubbed himself "The Crypto President" and promised to build a "strategic bitcoin reserve." The filing also shows earnings from merchandise such as Trump watches, Bibles, trainers, and perfumes.
