Trump earned $1.5 billion thanks to crypto deals in 2025

US President Donald Trump’s tax returns reveals that he made a significant profit from crypto in 2025. Of the $2 billion Trump earned over the past year, 75% came from crypto-related ventures. The “Trump” memecoin and World Liberty Financial, in particular, proved to be a massive success for the US President.
He also executed around 21,000 stock transactions, though few details regarding these were disclosed.
Critics suggest that the timing of his buy and sell orders was suspiciously precise when viewed alongside his social media posts on Truth Social.
Memecoin
Two days before he was due to be sworn in for a second term in 2025, Donald Trump launched his own memecoin, fittingly named “Trump.” It surged for 48 hours, true to memecoin form, only to crash over the following ten months. Melania Trump did exactly the same thing that weekend.
The 927-page financial disclosure he released reveals that Trump earned approximately $635 million in royalties through Celebration Coins, the company behind the $TRUMP memecoin.
Furthermore, Trump admitted he had also earned more than $500 million from World Liberty Financial, a crypto company founded by his own sons and the children of his special envoy, Steve Witkoff.
According to the White House however, none of these companies (Celebration Coins and World Liberty Financial) were run by the US president himself, and therefore there is no ethical issue.
The American press, of course, is taking a different view and criticizes the president.
