★ The Brief
What happened
Trump's mandatory 2025 financial disclosure, released June 30, shows he took in at least $2.2 billion in his first year back in office, up from $622 million the year before. About $1.4 billion came from the family's crypto businesses: over $600 million from his $TRUMP memecoin, more from World Liberty Financial's token sales, and over $200 million from unnamed investments. The report shows revenue, not profit.
Who enabled it
Deal or steal?
Trump is both one of crypto's biggest operators and its top regulator, and roughly $1.4 billion of the haul came from the industry he oversees. Over $200 million tracks to the $500 million an Abu Dhabi firm paid for 49% of World Liberty Financial just before his inauguration. Another $600 million came from the $TRUMP memecoin he launched the same week. The money poured in while his own regulators cut crypto enforcement by more than half.
★ Cast your vote
On June 30, 2026, President Donald Trump's mandatory financial disclosure report for 2025, his first year back in office, was released. It showed he reported at least $2.2 billion in revenue, compared with at least $622 million his enterprises reported for all of 2024. About $1.4 billion of the 2025 total came from the family's cryptocurrency businesses, now among his most lucrative holdings. The filing attributed more than $600 million to sales of his $TRUMP memecoin and additional sums to World Liberty Financial's sale of its $WLFI token, of which 75% of each sale was allocated to a Trump business entity after certain expenses, plus more than $200 million to unnamed investments. The report did not explicitly name the January 2025 transaction in which an investment firm tied to the government of the United Arab Emirates bought a 49% stake in World Liberty for $500 million, though the disclosed investment figure aligns with it. Consistent with prior filings, the report discloses revenue rather than profit and does not state whether each business made or lost money. The White House said Trump has no conflicts of interest and acts only in the public interest, and Trump has previously noted that he is exempt from federal conflict-of-interest laws.
