Trump’s crypto empire just added another massive win to its financial portfolio. A recent government filing shows Donald Trump earned over $57 million from a crypto venture launched before his 2024 election win.
The venture, World Liberty Financial, was created with his sons Donald Jr., Eric, and Barron. It raised around $550 million through two separate token sales. More than 85,000 global investors participated, making it one of the biggest crypto pushes from a political figure.
The income, listed in a 234-page disclosure filed with the Office of Government Ethics, highlights the business success of Trump’s crypto empire. Alongside the digital tokens, Trump also generated $1.1 million from NFT image licensing through his company CIC Digital LLC.
Even more, he holds an Ethereum wallet valued at over $1 million. In May, he hosted a dinner for top holders of his “Official Trump” meme coin. The coin’s value jumped 56% after the event announcement.
While digital assets brought in a significant sum, they weren’t his largest source of income. Trump’s Miami-based company, Trump Endeavor 12 LLC, which manages golf resorts, earned $110 million in 2024. That amount is nearly double his crypto revenue.
Trump’s full business portfolio remains vast. He values at least 22 assets at more than $50 million each. These include Trump Tower, Trump National Doral, and his Turnberry golf resort in Scotland.
Trump’s crypto empire is just one layer of his income streams. He collected $2.8 million from Trump Watches, $2.5 million from Trump Sneakers and Fragrances, and $1.3 million from a Bible he endorsed alongside Lee Greenwood.
Still, controversy surrounds his business ventures. Critics, including lawmakers, have accused him of blurring lines between political power and personal profit. Many on Capitol Hill have called this “open corruption.”
Meanwhile, Trump faces legal battles. His financial disclosure lists 11 outstanding debts, including several over $50 million. These relate to real estate and judgments in ongoing legal cases.
Yet, despite lawsuits and scrutiny, Trump continues expanding his brand. Trump’s crypto empire reflects a clear strategy: monetize every asset, whether digital or physical, and stay ahead of financial trends.
