President Donald Trump’s crypto venture, World Liberty Financial, brought in more than $500 million from governance token sales|The White House
President Donald Trump’s financial disclosure shows his businesses generated nearly $1.2 billion in crypto-related revenue last year, making digital assets the biggest contributor to his earnings.
His crypto venture, World Liberty Financial, brought in more than $500 million from governance token sales, while CIC Digital LLC earned over $600 million from Trump-themed meme coins, according to the Associated Press. That implies his crypto investments have outperformed his family’s real estate empire amid his push for crypto-friendly regulation.
However, both assets have since lost significant value, with World Liberty tokens down about 80% and meme coins falling from over $74 to around $1.68.
The 927-page ethics filing also shows Trump earned millions from branded products, including $4.7 million from watch sales, and expanded his international real estate business with new projects in the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Romania, and Vietnam.
Ethics advocates say Trump’s expanding business interests during his presidency create a conflict of interest. The White House responds that his companies are run by his sons and that he is not involved in decision-making, rejecting those concerns.
