Trump reported crypto earnings for 2025. The declaration lists more than $1 billion, with the main amount coming from two sources: a memecoin bearing his name and a crypto project linked to the president’s family.
The report is massive—927 pages. It was published by the U.S. Office of Government Ethics. This happened almost immediately after a Supreme Court decision that gave the president more influence over independent agencies, including those responsible for the digital asset market.
Where Trump’s Crypto Earnings Came From
The main source of income was CIC Digital—a company associated with Trump’s memecoin. According to the declaration, it received about $636 million in royalties. The token itself appeared just a few days before the January inauguration.
Another $515 million came from the sale of World Liberty Financial tokens. Additionally, Trump reported about $65 million from a stake in the holding structure of this project. About 38% of the DeFi company belongs to an organization linked to the president’s family.

Together, these areas brought in over $1.2 billion. In addition, Trump declared more than $100 million in cryptocurrencies, including bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).
These figures have only intensified the discussion about a possible conflict of interest. The president’s family receives significant income from crypto projects, while his administration directly influences the rules governing this sector.
Supreme Court Decision Adds Fuel to the Fire
Almost simultaneously with the publication of the declaration, the Supreme Court issued a decision in Trump v. Slaughter. Now the president of the U.S. has the right to fire heads of independent agencies, even if there is no specific reason.
The vote was split six to three. The decision also cast doubt on a longstanding practice dating back to the Humphrey’s Executor case, which for decades protected independent agencies from political pressure.
For the crypto market, this story has special significance. The new approach could affect the SEC and CFTC, as these are the agencies that set the rules for the digital asset industry.
Because of this, talk about the intersection of Trump’s politics and business has resurfaced. While his administration gains more influence over regulators, projects linked to his family continue to earn hundreds of millions of dollars in the crypto market.
The president himself was pleased with the court’s decision.
“This decision returns tremendous power to the presidency, where it belongs. It is an honor for me to be the sitting president who, after so many years, won this important and difficult case,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Questions About Trump’s Crypto Projects Are Growing
Most of the attention is now focused on World Liberty Financial. In May 2025, Abu Dhabi’s sovereign fund MGX used the stablecoin USD1 to settle an investment in Binance for $2 billion.

This moment sparked a strong reaction in the U.S.. Money from a foreign sovereign fund passed through a project token connected to the president’s family. After this, Senate Democrats demanded hearings and a separate investigation into the foreign ties of World Liberty Financial.
The White House denies that the deal with the UAE influenced the company’s operations. Meanwhile, some lawmakers are already proposing to ban federal officials from participating in such crypto deals.
Trump’s income was disclosed against the backdrop of a weak market. On Tuesday, bitcoin was trading around $58,500, having lost more than half its value since the October peak.
According to public data, most small investors who bought Trump’s memecoin are currently at a loss. Against this backdrop, his own crypto earnings will raise even more questions, especially as U.S. regulators continue to write the rules for the market.
