In a significant financial disclosure, U.S. President Donald Trump has reported earning $57.4 million from his involvement with World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency venture that he co-sponsors alongside his sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump.
Trump disclosed the information on June 13 in his 2025 financial report to the U.S. Office of Government Ethics. The lawsuit claims that Trump has a significant amount of voting power within World Liberty Financial due to his ownership of about 15.75 billion governance tokens.
The substantial reported revenue suggests either partial monetization of his shares or valuation based on internal financial measures, even if the filing does not detail the structure or current market valuation of these governance tokens. The income is simply categorized in the paper as “$57,437,927,” with no more explanation as to whether the profits came from dividends, staking incentives, token sales, or other financial sources.
World Liberty Financial Secures Funding of $550 Million
Since its September 2024 launch, World Liberty Financial has positioned itself as a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform that focuses on dollar-pegged stablecoins, thereby taking on traditional financial institutions head-on. The business revealed in March that it had earned almost $550 million in two rounds of public token sales, earning $200 million in the first round and another $250 million in the second.
The project has drawn a significant amount of private and institutional funding. In November 2024, Justin Sun, the founder of Tron, committed $30 million to purchase 2 billion WLFI tokens at an initial price of $0.015. Web3Port made a $10 million investment in January 2025, and Oddiyana Ventures joined as a strategic investor; however, the precise financial arrangements were not made public.
Trump’s Growing Portfolio of Digital Assets
A more comprehensive picture of Trump’s digital asset holdings may also be found in his most recent filing. There is no new revenue from non-fungible token (NFT) operations reported in the 2025 file, despite earlier reports revealing money from his NFT-based Trump Digital Trading Cards collection. Even though these businesses are currently making little to no money, Trump is still involved with a number of corporate organizations related to digital finance, such as CIC Digital LLC and CIC Ventures LLC.
