President Donald Trump pulled in at least $2.2 billion in income during 2025, according to his mandatory annual financial disclosure released Tuesday by the US Office of Government Ethics. The 927-page filing reveals the extraordinary scale of the Trump family’s pivot into digital assets since his return to the White House.
The headline figure: more than $1.4 billion from cryptocurrency ventures alone — far outpacing much of his traditional real estate and resort income. The single largest line item was $635 million in royalties tied to a licensing agreement with Celebration Coins, the entity behind the $TRUMP meme token that launched shortly before his inauguration. That token has since lost more than 95% of its peak value, raising questions about the timing and ethics of a sitting president profiting from a volatile digital asset while in office.
The disclosure, as the New York Times noted, “pulled back the curtain on his secretive business operations,” offering the most detailed public accounting yet of how Trump has monetized the presidency in ways without precedent in modern American history.
