Trump’s $1.4 billion crypto empire revealed
Donald Trump’s digital asset holdings have pushed his net worth into the billions, with a mix of memecoins, Bitcoin, and stakes in crypto ventures forming the core of his portfolio.
The latest Office of Government Ethics filing, released Tuesday, shows his businesses generated over $635 million in royalties from a memecoin tied to his name. Another $600 million came from World Liberty Financial, a crypto firm he cofounded with his three sons and businessman Steve Witkoff.
A separate entity, DT Marks SC, owns 38.5% of Stablecoin Holdco, a Miami-based stablecoin project that contributed nearly $197 million to his earnings. The disclosure doesn’t clarify how these positions produced income.

Beyond the headline numbers, Trump’s crypto reach extends to smaller tokens. DT Marks Defi, another of his companies, pulled in over $5 million from altcoins like LINK, AAVE, ENA, MOVE, and ONDO. It also earned more than $56 million from USDC, a major stablecoin.
World Liberty Financial itself brought in $33 million from Bitcoin and over $150 million from Ethereum in 2025, plus $1.8 million from staked Ethereum. The filing leaves the source of these gains unspecified.
A White House spokeswoman dismissed conflict concerns, stating that “neither the President nor his family has ever engaged—or will ever engage—in conflicts of interest.”

The Trump family’s crypto dealings have drawn outside scrutiny. The Wall Street Journal reported in January that they secretly sold a 49% stake in World Liberty Financial to Aryam Investment 1, a firm backed by Abu Dhabi’s Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the UAE’s national security adviser. Trump’s entities DT Marks Defi and DT Marks SC netted nearly $263 million from that sale.
World Liberty Financial did not respond to requests for comment.
Trump’s disclosure also reveals active trading in stocks tied to crypto. His accounts show repeated buys and sells of MSTR, the ticker for Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), giving him indirect Bitcoin exposure through the company’s vast holdings. He also traded shares of Coinbase and Robinhood.

Michael Saylor, Strategy’s executive chairman and a long-time Bitcoin advocate, has become a visible ally. He attended Trump’s first crypto summit at the White House in March 2025. Eric Trump has previously described a two-decade friendship with Saylor.
The financial ties come as lawmakers debate the Clarity Act, a bill aimed at structuring crypto regulation. Senator Elizabeth Warren warned Tuesday that the legislation must block officials and their families from profiting off the industry. “The crypto legislation heading to the Senate floor must prevent the President, Vice President, senior administration officials, members of Congress, and their families from profiting off the crypto industry,” she said.
Trump’s crypto holdings have grown alongside his administration’s push for a more favorable regulatory environment. Critics continue to question whether his financial interests align with policy decisions.
