President Donald Trump made more than $1 billion from his crypto ventures last year, according to his latest financial disclosure filing.
The 927-page report details the vast nature of Trump's sprawling business empire, including hotel resorts and golf courses. It also highlights his extensive stock portfolio, revealing dividend payments from sizable stakes in Apple, Broadcom, Microsoft, Nvidia and Palantir.
His crypto business CIC Digital LLC business made $635.1 million from meme coin sales through a licensing agreement with "Celebration Coins," according to the Office of Government Ethics filing. The coin, called $TRUMP, launched just days before his inauguration in January 2025. It quickly surged in value before slumping sharply.
Trump received more than $500 million from token sales by World Liberty Financial, a crypto company co-founded by Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr.
"President Trump proudly made the United States the crypto capital of the world through executive actions, supporting legislation like the GENIUS Act, and other commonsense policies to drive innovation and economic opportunity for all Americans," White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly said in an emailed statement to Barron's.
Legal settlements with some of the American's biggest companies also proved to be a lucrative source of income. The filings include details of a $24.5 million settlement with Meta Platforms, and $22 million with Alphabet.
But he also made millions from marketing his brand, bringing in $4.7 million from Trump-branded watches, thousands from sneakers and fragrances, and more than $3 million from three new books.
"This disclosure once again demonstrates that The Trump Organization continues to maintain a strong financial position, supported by world class, valuable assets, substantial liquidity and a conservative balance sheet," a spokesperson for The Trump Organization said.
The filing, which Trump was granted a 45-day extension to complete, covers 2025 — his first year back in office. It is separate from the disclosure of Trump's stock purchases and sales in the first quarter of 2026, released in May.
That showed purchases of many of this year's hot stocks, including Intel, Dell and Broadcom along with some beaten-down software names such as ServiceNow, Adobe and Workday.
