Trump, the crypto deal makes him even richer: record earnings and assets almost tripled

The documents show that around $550 million would arrive in 2025 from Trump’s participation in World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency startup co-founded in September 2024 with the involvement of the president’s children and the son of the special envoy for the Middle East, Steve Witkoff. Another $635 million would instead be linked to royalties deriving from a licensing agreement on the $TRUMP cryptocurrency, launched shortly before the presidential inauguration in January 2025.

According to Forbes, The president’s activities in the cryptocurrency sector are the main reason for the almost tripling of his personal wealthwhich rose from $2.3 billion to $6.5 billion between 2024 and 2026.

The documentation also highlights additional sources of income: More than $290 million would come from the Trump family’s real estate assets and luxury resorts, including Mar-a-Lago in Florida and the Trump National Doral. Other proceeds include about $86 million from legal settlements with large media and technology companies, and more than $370,000 in gifts, including tickets to sporting events.

The holdings also include investments in listed companies such as Apple, Microsoft and Nvidia, with share packages estimated at between 5 and 25 million dollars each. The filing also shows that Trump received several gifts, including tickets to sporting events worth more than $370,000 in total. Additionally, the president has earned more than $86 million from legal settlements with major media and technology companies.

The release of the statement comes amid growing debate over possible conflicts of interest related to the private affairs of the president, who has said he wants to turn the United States into a “Bitcoin superpower” and has begun dismantling cryptocurrency regulations since taking office. The White House denies all accusations, claiming that the assets are not managed directly by Trump.
