Donald Trump's cryptocurrency business is generating over $1 billion in revenue in 2025, attracting attention from both political circles and the market.

According to crypto-specialized media Benzinga on June 30 (local time), Trump's annual financial disclosure, released on Tuesday, showed that over $1 billion in revenue was generated from crypto-related businesses in 2025. The core pillars of this revenue were World Liberty Financial, a company involving his family, and the Official Trump (Official Trump, TRUMP) memecoin.

According to the data, Trump's income included over $520 million in token sales revenue issued by World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency platform founded by his sons. Revenue from the sale of shares in WLF Holdco LLC, the holding company for WLFI, also totaled over $65 million.

$1.8 million was generated from Ethereum (ETH) staking validator rewards. CIC Digital LLC, an affiliate of the Trump Organization that manages the ownership of the Official Trump memecoin, reported earning over $635 million in royalties for so-called "Celebration Coins".

However, the Official Trump memecoin has fallen by over 97% from its peak since its launch in January 2025. Benzinga noted that last year's financial disclosure recorded $57 million in crypto-related revenue, stating that this disclosure shows a significant expansion of Trump's cryptocurrency revenue streams.

The Trump family's foray into cryptocurrency has been monetized through social media and public appearances promotion, and family name licensing strategies. Forbes estimated Trump's net worth at $6 billion currently, up from $2.3 billion in 2024. Despite price declines, the Trump family secured profits, and the controversy over investor losses is escalating into a political conflict of interest debate.
