Donald Trump amassed an impressive sum of money in his first year back at the White House, with a significant portion derived from his family’s cryptocurrency business, according to recently disclosed records. The former president reportedly earned over $2.2 billion (£1.6 billion) in total revenue in the past year, with approximately $1.4 billion (£1.05 billion) stemming from his family’s crypto investments. This surge in income marks a substantial increase compared to the previous year, with all of Trump’s businesses experiencing a notable rise in earnings.
A detailed 927-page disclosure shows that revenue generated from a Trump meme coin ($TRUMP) alone surpassed his total reported revenues for the entirety of 2024. The royalties from this coin, launched shortly before Trump’s re-entry into office, amounted to $635 million (£479 million) in 2025, exceeding the revenue reported in 2024 by tens of millions. Additionally, World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency firm established by Trump’s family members and the offspring of Steve Envoy, contributed over $500 million (£377 million) to Trump’s income.
Various other ventures under Trump’s umbrella also saw substantial revenue growth, with his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida generating $77 million (£58 million), marking a $27 million (£20 million) increase from the previous year. The Trump National Doral golf club in Miami reported $122 million (£92 million) in revenue, up by $11 million (£8 million) from the previous year.
Despite concerns and accusations of potential conflicts of interest, the White House has refuted any claims that Trump leveraged his presidency for financial gain. Anna Kelly, the deputy press secretary for the Trump administration, emphasized that Trump played a role in establishing the U.S. as a prominent player in the cryptocurrency world, reiterating that neither Trump nor his family engaged in conflicts of interest. Kelly maintained that all actions taken by the administration were in the best interest of the American people.
Observers have pointed out the stark disparity between the substantial earnings of Trump and those of his predecessors, such as George W. Bush. Will Walker-Arnott, director of private clients at Raymond James Financial Group, highlighted the difference in approach, noting that while past presidents like Jimmy Carter and George W. Bush took steps to distance themselves from their business interests, Trump appears to be operating differently, particularly through his family’s crypto venture.
