President Donald Trump earned between $1.2 billion and $1.4 billion from his cryptocurrency businesses last year, according to a federal financial disclosure. These ventures, including World Liberty Financial and CIC Digital LLC, which sold meme coins featuring his face, have eclipsed much of the revenue from his long-standing property portfolio. This surge in digital assets helped drive the president's personal net worth from $2.3 billion to $6.5 billion between 2024 and 2026.
Beyond cryptocurrency, Trump generated significant income from international real estate and luxury branding. He received $10.4 million from a property in the United Arab Emirates, $9 million from Saudi Arabia, and $5 million each from properties in Qatar and Bucharest, Romania. Additionally, he earned millions from Trump-branded bibles, sneakers, and $4.7 million from branded watches. The disclosure also noted $80 million in income from legal settlements with companies such as Meta, YouTube, ABC, and CBS.
These combined earnings far outpace the $600 million total income Trump reported in 2024. The filings highlight a stark contrast between Trump's profits and those of his investors, as the value of the tokens and coins plunged following their sale. These financial gains coincide with the president's goal to make the U.S. the crypto capital of the world and his implementation of crypto-friendly policies during his second term, reigniting concerns that he may be profiting from his presidency.
