He called it
President Trump crypto earnings topped $1 billion in 2025, according to a 927 page federal financial disclosure released Tuesday by the Office of Government Ethics, with a meme coin and a family run crypto venture accounting for nearly all of it.
At a Glance
- CIC Digital, Trump's meme coin business, earned roughly $636 million in royalties
- World Liberty Financial added about $515 million from token sales plus $65 million from equity
- Combined crypto income disclosed exceeds $1.2 billion, plus over $100 million in Bitcoin and Ethereum holdings
- The filing arrived one day after a Supreme Court ruling expanding presidential control over independent regulators
- Bitcoin traded near $58,500 on Tuesday, down more than 50% from its October high
Where the Money Came From
The bulk of the total traces back to a token Trump launched just three days before his January 2025 inauguration. CIC Digital, the entity behind that meme coin, generated about $636 million in royalties over the year, the filing shows.
World Liberty Financial, a decentralized finance venture roughly 38 percent owned by a Trump family entity, contributed another $515 million from token sales and $65 million tied to equity in its holding company. Add those three figures together and the total clears $1.2 billion. Separately, Trump reported more than $100 million in Bitcoin and Ethereum holdings, a stake that links him directly to digital assets his administration now has broader power to oversee.
A Supreme Court Ruling Changes the Landscape
The disclosure landed one day after the Supreme Court decided Trump v. Slaughter, a 6 to 3 ruling that lets presidents remove commissioners at independent regulatory agencies without cause. The decision overturned Humphrey's Executor, a 91 year old precedent that had insulated agencies like the SEC and CFTC from direct White House control. Legal analysts say the ruling reaches the very regulators that oversee crypto markets.
