Trump Had a Billion-Dollar Windfall After Returning to the White House

financeJul 1, 2026241,540

The mandatory 2025 financial disclosure, released Tuesday, shows the Trump family’s cryptocurrency businesses generated about $1.2 billion after President Trump returned to the White House. The filing lists roughly $635 million in memecoin royalties and about $515 million from sales of the World Liberty Financial token, together accounting for the bulk of the crypto revenue. The disclosure is nearly 927 pages and also reports other large items including about $290 million from golf properties and roughly $86 million in media settlements, while noting more than $105 million owed to E. Jean Carroll and the New York attorney general. The TRUMP coin’s reported market price fell from $74 at launch to $1.68 by the time of the filing. White House spokesperson Anna Kelly responded to questions by saying there are no conflicts of interest. The returns underscore a concrete tension cited in reporting: Trump is both a major operator in the cryptocurrency industry and the nation’s top policymaker on crypto regulation, a fact likely to intensify scrutiny of his administration’s crypto policies and oversight.
