Trump's Empire Pulled In $57M From Family-Linked Crypto Firm Last Year, Filing Shows
The U.S. President also holds up to $5 million in crypto, $500,000 in gold bars, stakes in various companies, and a vast real estate empire.
Donald Trump’s crypto wallet and branding empire earned tens of millions of dollars last year, with World Liberty Financial netting the U.S. President $57.4 million, according to a newly released federal financial disclosure.
The document, published by the Office of Government Ethics, shows Trump’s personal crypto holdings are estimated to be between $1 million and $5 million. He also declared gold bars as investments between $250,000 and $500,000, various money market funds, equity and Treasury bond holdings, and real estate.
In addition to his crypto holdings and income, Trump seemingly collected over $11 million in royalties tied to branded merchandise.
That includes $3 million for a coffee table book titled “Save America,” $2.5 million from Trump sneakers and fragrances, $2.8 million from watches, $1.3 million for “The Greenwood Bible,” a religious book bearing his name, and $100,000 from non-fungible tokens (NFTs). The latter also brought in $1 million from licensing fees.
Trump’s assets are reportedly held in a trust managed by his children.
While the U.S. President’s financial disclosure document spans 234 pages, Vice President JD Vance filed a 15-page disclosure showing more modest holdings and not mentioning crypto.
The White House didn't immediately respond to CoinDesk's request for comments on Trump's holdings.
