Trump, $1.4 billion in cryptocurrency income - Impact, "meme" coins with his name, conflict of interest debate widens
US President Donald Trump has declared around $1.4 billion in cryptocurrency income through 2025, his first year in office. The figures were made public in his 927-page financial disclosure, a voluminous dossier compared to the 8 pages submitted by Barack Obama when he was president.
US President Donald Trump has declared more than $1.4 billion in income from his cryptocurrency activities through 2025, according to his financial disclosure form. More than $635 million came from a licensing deal with a group linked to the “meme” cryptocurrency that bears his name. The figures were made public in a 927-page financial disclosure filed with the Office of Government Ethics.
The data dates back to 2025, the first year of Trump's second presidential term. Compared to the financial disclosures of his predecessors, Trump's document is much more voluminous: Barack Obama's last declaration was only 8 pages, while Joe Biden's was 11 pages.
In addition to the proceeds from the “meme” coins, Trump declared over $236 million from other digital token sales, as well as more than $65 million from the sale of shares in his family’s cryptocurrency company, World Liberty Financial. The document also includes about $290 million classified as income from digital wallets related to that venture.
The $635 million in revenue is linked to a group called “Celebration Coins,” for which no clear digital footprint has been found. A similarly named company, registered in Wyoming, has previously been mentioned in connection with hosting a cryptocurrency conference at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.
The White House has denied the allegations of conflict of interest, stating that Trump and his family have not engaged in and will not engage in actions that conflict with the presidential office.
Unlike previous US presidents, Trump did not give up his assets. The Trump Organization states that the assets are managed by third-party financial institutions and transactions are carried out through automated systems.
