Donald Trump has earned over $600 million in 2024, with a significant portion coming from the crypto universe. This figure, drawn from a financial disclosure document signed on June 13, confirms the president’s strategic embedding in the crypto ecosystem. Between a memecoin bearing his name and large-scale DeFi operations, Trump no longer just observes the market: he becomes a central player, with major financial and political stakes.
After the total fiasco of his crypto dinner, the Government Ethics Office (OGE) published the financial disclosure document signed on June 13, 2025, by Donald Trump himself. This document indicates that the president earned over $600 million in revenue in 2024.
These revenues come from a combination of business activities, including his traditional golf clubs, licensing agreements, but especially his recent ventures into the crypto sector.
Two projects stand out clearly. On one hand, the TRUMP memecoin, which alone reportedly generated about $320 million in fees, and on the other hand, World Liberty Financial, a decentralized finance company that has reportedly brought more than $400 million to the Trump family.
The president personally received $57.35 million from the sale of tokens issued by this entity.
These figures are contained in a report that appears to cover the entire 2024 calendar year. It also specifies that Trump holds a considerable quantity of governance tokens, 15.75 billion units, in World Liberty Financial, indicating an influential position within the project.
Here is, in detail, what the document reveals :
This declaration repositions Donald Trump as a leading economic actor, this time within the decentralized economy.
Beyond the amounts received, the nature of the activities Donald Trump has engaged in raises questions regarding his intentions and the real extent of his involvement in the crypto sphere.
Thus, the Trump family began actively taking an interest in cryptos while maintaining their traditional activities, notably in real estate and golf clubs.
This transition to these assets thus seems to have occurred progressively but determinedly, with a fairly sophisticated structuring around World Liberty Financial and the TRUMP memecoin. The detail of the TRUMP revenue distribution remains undisclosed, however, which leaves some opacity around the ultimate beneficiaries.
This lack of clarity fuels discussions about a potential conflict of interest, as Donald Trump is currently the occupant of the White House. At a time when the United States debates crypto regulation, seeing a head of state holding billions of tokens in a DeFi company could pose a problem.
As it stands, there is no indication of illegality, but the overlap between political and private interests remains a sensitive subject. Trump’s incursion into this sector can also be interpreted as an attempt to capitalize on his notoriety to create financial momentum in the digital economy, particularly DeFi, through the exploitation of political branding within a technological framework.
