US President Donald Trump’s latest financial disclosure has revealed a dramatic shift in the source of his wealth, with cryptocurrency emerging as the biggest contributor to his income.The annual disclosure filed with the US office of government ethics showed Trump reported more than $1.4 billion in income from his family’s crypto ventures in 2025, underlining how digital assets have overtaken his traditional real estate and golf businesses as the primary driver of his fortune, news agency Reuters reported.The filing disclosed that Trump’s companies received nearly $800 million from World Liberty Financial, the cryptocurrency venture co-founded by Trump and his sons. The income included more than $520 million from crypto token sales and over $250 million from the sale of interests in the World Liberty business.Trump also reported another $635 million from the sale of his Trump meme coins, further cementing crypto’s role in his earnings.The figures mark a sharp jump from the previous year’s disclosure. In 2024, Trump reported $57.35 million from token sales at World Liberty Financial. The latest filing shows that figure increased nearly nine-fold within a year.The surge comes as the Trump administration has adopted policies widely viewed as supportive of the cryptocurrency industry. Since returning to the White House in 2025, Trump has backed initiatives including federal rules for stablecoins and eased regulatory enforcement by the US justice department and the securities and exchange commission, measures welcomed by the crypto sector.The White House rejected suggestions of any conflict of interest. Spokesperson Anna Kelly said neither Trump nor his family had engaged in conflicts of interest and that the president’s actions were aimed at making the United States “crypto capital of the world.”Although cryptocurrency generated the bulk of Trump’s reported income, his traditional businesses continued to earn hundreds of millions of dollars. His golf courses and resorts reported over $500 million in revenue in 2025, a 15% increase from the previous year. Revenue at Mar-a-Lago climbed to $77 million from $50 million in 2024, while his West Palm Beach golf club also recorded higher earnings.The disclosure also showed Trump earned more than $80 million from settlements with media companies and $52 million from licensing his name to overseas property developments, particularly projects involving Middle Eastern partners.While the White House has previously said Trump’s business interests are managed by his children, the president remains the beneficiary of the trust that ultimately receives income from those assets.The latest filing underscores how Trump’s financial empire has evolved from one built largely on real estate to one increasingly driven by digital assets, reflecting the rapid rise of cryptocurrency in both his personal wealth and the broader US financial landscape.
