US President Donald Trump has reported over $600 million in income from cryptocurrency ventures, luxury golf resorts, licensing deals, and other business interests.
The document offers a rare window into the extensive and diverse portfolio of one of America’s wealthiest political figures.
The disclosure, believed to cover the 2024 calendar year, reveals Trump’s growing involvement in digital assets has significantly bolstered his financial standing.
Despite previously placing his business holdings into a trust overseen by his children, the filings demonstrate that profits from these ventures still ultimately benefit Trump himself — fuelling ongoing concerns over potential conflicts of interest.
According to a Reuters analysis, Trump declared assets valued at no less than $1.6 billion. His earnings span across real estate, crypto tokens, and licensing fees, suggesting a highly diversified financial strategy.
The report, signed on 13 June, did not specify the exact period covered. However, details within the disclosure — particularly those relating to cryptocurrency transactions — indicate it runs through to December 2024, thereby omitting recent crypto-related revenue.
Among the most notable revelations was Trump’s lucrative foray into cryptocurrency. His meme token, $TRUMP, released earlier in the year, reportedly generated an estimated $320 million in fees.
Additionally, the Trump family earned over $400 million from World Liberty Financial, a decentralised finance firm. Trump personally reported $57.35 million in income from token sales linked to the company, along with ownership of 15.75 billion governance tokens.
The family has also taken stakes in bitcoin mining operations and crypto-based exchange-traded funds, marking a significant pivot from traditional business into digital finance.
Beyond cryptocurrency, Trump’s real estate empire remains a central pillar of his income.
His Florida-based golf properties — including Trump National Doral, Jupiter, and West Palm Beach — along with the exclusive Mar-a-Lago resort, brought in at least $217.7 million.
Doral alone accounted for $110.4 million, making it the top individual income source in his portfolio. These figures reflect gross revenues rather than net profits.
Trump also received royalties and licensing income from a range of products and international developments. These included:
- $16 million from licensing deals in Dubai
- $10 million from a project in India
- $5 million in fees tied to a Vietnamese development
- $2.8 million from Trump Watches
- $2.5 million from branded sneakers and fragrances
- $1.3 million from the Greenwood Bible, marketed as the only Bible officially endorsed by Trump and singer Lee Greenwood
- $1.16 million from sales of Trump-branded NFTs
Meanwhile, First Lady Melania Trump earned approximately $216,700 from her own NFT ventures.
Trump’s passive investment income, comprising interest and dividends, was valued at $12 million, backed by a portfolio worth at least $211 million. Key holdings include shares in Blue Owl Capital, and government bond funds managed by Invesco and Charles Schwab.
Despite efforts by the Trump administration to project transparency, critics argue the president’s continued earnings from ventures that could be influenced by public policy raise ethical questions. Still, a White House spokesperson asserted compliance with all ethics and financial reporting requirements.
“The Trump Administration is committed to transparency and accessibility for the American people,” said Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt in a statement to Reuters.
As Trump continues to straddle political and commercial life, the disclosure captures a moment of transition — with the Trump family expanding into cryptocurrency while maintaining a firm grip on their traditional revenue streams from real estate and branding.
