President Donald Trump’s crypto ventures made him more money last year than all his golf courses and resorts combined. That’s according to his latest financial disclosure, released Tuesday by the US Office of Government Ethics.
The 927-page filing shows more than $1.4 billion in crypto-related income. Memecoin royalties from Trump Coin (TRUMP) led the way at roughly $635 million through a licensing deal with Celebration Coins. The Trump family’s DeFi platform, World Liberty Financial, came in second at about $588 million from token sales. Trump also pocketed $197 million selling equity in a stablecoin venture.
Compare that to his real estate and resorts — Mar-a-Lago, various golf clubs — which brought in just over $290 million. Crypto more than quadrupled that.
The disclosure also shows Trump holds over $50 million in Bitcoin, between $5 million and $25 million in Ether, plus USDC and USD Key — all in cold wallets.
Critics say this is a clear conflict of interest. Trump’s administration pushed pro-crypto policy and friendly regulation in 2025 while his family’s crypto ventures were printing money. Public Citizen called it an “obscene crypto grift” and urged Congress to act.
The White House pushed back, saying Trump “proudly made the United States the crypto capital of the world” and that neither he nor his family has ever engaged in conflicts of interest.
Love it or hate it, the numbers are hard to ignore. The guy who’s setting crypto policy is also making a fortune from it.
