Trump’s Empire Pulled In $57M From Family-Linked Crypto Firm Last Year, Filing Shows

News

Donald Trumps 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 Trumps 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.

Trumps assets are reportedly held in a trust managed by his children.

While the U.S. Presidents 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.
