President Donald Trump’s 2025 annual financial disclosure filed with the Office of Government Ethics reports over $1.4 billion tied to cryptocurrency ventures, according to multiple news outlets that reviewed the document.
What the 2025 financial disclosure filing actually shows
The OGE Form 278 filing is the anchor document behind the headline figure. The disclosure lists financial interests and income ranges but does not provide audited earnings statements, meaning the $1.4 billion total is derived from interpreting reported ranges and asset valuations rather than a single verified line item.

Several outlets, including Forbes, MarketWatch, The Guardian, and Business Insider, independently reviewed the filing and arrived at broadly similar figures. However, the way each outlet aggregated the crypto-related entries varied, and the distinction between income earned, ownership stakes valued, and licensing revenue is not always clear from the disclosure format itself.

This matters because OGE filings use broad value ranges rather than exact dollar amounts for many asset categories. The $1.4 billion figure represents journalists’ best interpretation of those ranges, not a precise accounting.
Which crypto ventures feed the reported total
World Liberty Financial, a decentralized finance project publicly associated with the Trump family, is the most frequently cited crypto venture across secondary coverage of the disclosure. Business Insider reported that crypto income topped $1 billion in the filing, with World Liberty Financial representing a significant share.
The TRUMP meme token, launched in early 2025, is another venture linked to the reported total. Previous reporting has noted that Trump-linked crypto tokens have experienced sharp declines since their peaks, raising questions about whether the disclosed values reflect peak valuations or current market prices.
Separately, crypto gains have been estimated to represent roughly a third of Trump’s net worth, a proportion that underscores how central digital asset ventures have become to the president’s financial profile.
TBS News reported that the Trump crypto playbook has disproportionately benefited family insiders relative to outside investors, a dynamic that the disclosure’s structure does little to clarify.
What the disclosure proves, and what it leaves unclear
The filing confirms that Trump holds substantial financial interests in multiple cryptocurrency ventures. That alone is significant for a sitting president, as it creates potential conflicts of interest with crypto regulatory policy.
What the disclosure does not provide is independently audited revenue, a breakdown of realized versus unrealized gains, or clarity on whether reported values reflect token prices at time of filing or at peak. Trump Media’s Bitcoin treasury has already shown how quickly crypto valuations can shift, making point-in-time disclosure snapshots unreliable as measures of actual wealth.
The MarketWatch review of the filing highlighted that the disclosure covers a broad financial empire beyond crypto, including traditional stock holdings and licensing deals, which makes isolating the precise crypto contribution more difficult.
Until the disclosed crypto holdings are cross-referenced with on-chain wallet data and independent audits, the $1.4 billion figure should be understood as a media-derived estimate from a government filing that uses broad value ranges, not a verified accounting of crypto earnings.
