Trump's Crypto Empire Booms to $1 Billion in Earnings

Donald Trump's crypto business ventures have catapulted him to over $1 billion in earnings for 2025, according to a federal filing. The president's investments in digital money and various crypto businesses date back to his second term, with Trump announcing at the start of 2025 that he wanted the US to be the 'crypto capital of the world'.

The majority of Trump's crypto earnings came from two sources: World Liberty Financial, which took in more than $500 million from sales of new crypto products, including governance tokens; and CIC Digital LLC, which earned over $600 million from the sale of souvenir-type meme coins stamped with Trump's face.

In addition to his crypto earnings, Trump also made millions from other business ventures, including selling Trump-branded Bibles, sneakers, and watches. The president earned $4.7 million alone from watch sales. Trump's property portfolio, which took decades to accumulate, has been eclipsed by the revenue generated by these crypto businesses.

Trump's move to quash a federal crackdown on the industry, as well as his support for legislation like the GENIUS Act, have contributed to the growth of his crypto business ventures. However, the value of Trump's tokens and coins has plummeted since sales began.
