World Liberty Financial among biggest income sources

The filing shows Trump earned nearly USD 550 million through his association with World Liberty Financial (WLF), a cryptocurrency platform launched in September 2024 with the backing of Trump and members of his family.

The filing says the platform raised USD 550 million through the sale of its WLFI token. It also states that Trump and his three sons, through an intermediary firm called DT Marks Defi, acquired 22.5 billion WLFI tokens, now valued at about USD 1.3 billion.

World Liberty Financial expanded its operations in April 2025 with the launch of a US dollar-pegged stablecoin.

Crypto royalties add hundreds of millions

The ethics filing also attributes USD 635 million in royalty income to a licensing agreement linked to the USD TRUMP cryptocurrency, which was launched shortly before Trump’s presidential inauguration in January 2025.

Apart from cryptocurrency, Trump reported earning more than USD 290 million from his portfolio of golf clubs and luxury resorts.

The properties listed include Mar-a-Lago in Florida, Trump National Doral, Trump National Bedminster, Trump National Jupiter, and Trump National Washington, D.C.

The documents also show Trump earned several million dollars through investments in publicly traded cryptocurrency companies, including Coinbase.

Filing details investments, settlements and licensing income

According to the disclosure, Trump’s assets remain held in a trust managed by his eldest son, Donald Trump Jr. The filing says the trust can be dissolved, allowing Trump to regain direct control of the assets after his second presidential term.

The paperwork also outlines stock purchases made during 2025.

On August 18, Trump reported buying shares of Apple, Microsoft and Nvidia, with each investment valued between USD 5 million and USD 25 million. Ethics rules require assets to be disclosed within valuation ranges instead of exact amounts.

The filing also records the purchase of Amazon shares worth between USD 500,000 and USD 1 million on September 23.

Trump further disclosed receiving more than USD 86 million from legal settlements involving ABC, CBS, Meta, YouTube and X.

His reported assets also include gold bullion valued between USD 500,000 and USD 1 million.

The disclosure says Trump received gifts worth more than USD 370,000, most of them consisting of tickets to sporting events.

Additional income came from branding and publishing deals.

The filing also lists USD 4.7 million from Trump Watches, USD 208,486 from The Greenwood Bible, USD 67,634 from Trump Sneakers & Fragrances and USD 35,920 from the ’45’ Guitar. Book sales added another USD 590,730 from Letters to Trump, USD 1.89 million from Save America and USD 552,685 from A MAGA Journey. Trump also reported a USD 200,000 speaking fee from a charity event in Naples, Florida, in December 2022.
