Trump Reports Over $1.2 Billion in Crypto Earnings, Holds $50 Million in Bitcoin
The U.S. Office of Government Ethics reveals that President Donald Trump earned over $1.2 billion from cryptocurrency ventures in 2025, according to a disclosure report released on June 30, 2026 by Decrypt. The report also indicates he holds more than $50 million in Bitcoin and between $5 million and $25 million in Ethereum.
On June 30, 2026, the U.S. Office of Government Ethics released President Donald Trump's annual financial disclosure, unveiling significant earnings from his cryptocurrency activities. The report indicates Trump earned over $1.2 billion from various crypto ventures during 2025.
Among his assets, Trump reported holding over $50 million in Bitcoin and between $5 million and $25 million in Ethereum. A notable highlight includes over $635 million earned primarily from his meme coin, trading as TRUMP, linked to royalties from a licensing deal with Celebration Coins. This coin, which launched on the Solana network just days before Trump resumed office in January 2025, reached a multi-billion-dollar market cap shortly after its debut but has since dropped significantly, now trading at $1.66 with a market cap of approximately $394 million, down around 98% from its all-time high.
Additionally, Trump disclosed more than $588 million in net proceeds from token sales linked to World Liberty Financial, a decentralized finance and stablecoin initiative operated by himself and his business partners. This financial disclosure builds on an earlier report from May detailing his earnings from securities trading, which included profits from crypto-related companies like Robinhood and Coinbase.
Trump's crypto activities have become a contentious issue among lawmakers, particularly among Democrats who have voiced concerns regarding the passage of the crypto-focused Clarity Act. This bill, while having passed in the House, remains stalled in the Senate, with opposition citing the need for ethical safeguards preventing the president and his family from participating in cryptocurrency enterprises.
