$2.4 billion in a year: Trump's 2025 haul and the crypto engine behind it
His mandatory financial disclosure, filed this month, puts one year of presidential earnings above his entire first term — and most of it came from digital coins, not real estate.
Wat we eerst wisten
- Trump's mandatory disclosure, filed around July 1, 2026, reports more than $2.2 billion in 2025 revenue and income.
- More than $1.4 billion of that came from crypto, including about $635 million in royalties from an entity tied to the $TRUMP memecoin.
- 2025 income exceeded the roughly $1.6 billion Trump earned across his entire first term.
- Trump says investment decisions are made by outside parties; the disclosure also lists about 21,000 adviser trades in 2025.
Toen nog open
- How conflicts of interest are managed going forward, given no modern precedent to guide oversight.

Waar we op zouden letten
- Any ethics-office guidance, congressional inquiry, or further disclosure amendments tied to the 2025 filing.
