Donald Trump Discusses Finances: Claims ‘Everybody’s Profiting’ Following $1.4 Billion Income Disclosure and Stock Market Gains
US President Donald Trump stated on Wednesday that he does not manage his personal finances, following the release of financial disclosures showing over $1.4 billion in income from his family’s cryptocurrency ventures. Speaking at Joint Base Andrews before his departure to North Dakota, Trump emphasized, “I don’t get involved … We have funds that run my money.” He attributed his financial gains to the strong performance of the US stock market, claiming, “You know why I’m profiting? Because the stock market’s going up, everybody’s profiting.”
The 2025 annual financial disclosure, filed with the US Office of Government Ethics, revealed that companies associated with Trump earned nearly $800 million from World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency venture he co-founded with his sons. The income included more than $520 million from crypto token sales and over $250 million from the sale of interests in the World Liberty Financial business. Trump shares this income with family members.
Crypto becomes Trump’s biggest source of income
Digital assets have emerged as the largest contributor to Trump’s earnings, with an additional $635 million reported from the sale of his $TRUMP meme coin. The latest disclosure indicates a significant increase in income from World Liberty token sales, which rose from $57.35 million in the previous year to nearly nine times that amount. Trump’s financial profile also includes over $80 million from legal settlements with media companies and $52 million from licensing his name to overseas property developers, primarily in the Middle East. Revenue from Trump’s golf courses and resorts increased by 15% to just over $500 million in 2025, with Mar-a-Lago alone generating $77 million.
White House rejects conflict of interest concerns
Trump’s expanding role in the cryptocurrency sector has raised concerns among ethics experts, particularly regarding policies his administration has enacted that favor the crypto industry. After returning to office in 2025, Trump introduced measures such as federal rules for stablecoins and reduced regulatory enforcement by the US Securities and Exchange Commission and the Justice Department. In response to allegations of conflicts of interest, White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly stated, “Neither the President nor his family has ever engaged — or will ever engage — in conflicts of interest. President Trump proudly made the United States the crypto capital of the world through executive actions.” Financial disclosure rules mandate that US presidents and vice presidents report their income and assets annually. Although Trump’s assets are held in a trust managed by his children, he remains the beneficiary of those assets, which continue to generate income for him.
