A 1978 law requires the president and vice president of the United States to report their income and assets.
According to the document of more than 900 pages, the head of state received nearly $550 million from his links with the start-up World Liberty Financial (WLF).
The Trump clan has given its support and name to this cryptocurrency platform, launched in September 2024.
World Liberty Financial issued its own cryptocurrency, WLFI, whose initial sale raised $550 million.
The Trumps, Donald and his three sons, also collected, through an intermediary company, DT Marks Defi, an additional 22.5 billion WLFI, currently worth around $1.3 billion.
In April 2025, WLF also marketed its stablecoin, a digital currency whose value is backed by a traditional currency, in this case the dollar.
Donald Trump’s tax return also reports, in addition to WLF, royalties received under a licensing agreement linked to the cryptocurrency that bears his name, $ TRUMP, marketed just hours before his inauguration in January 2025.
This supplement reached $635 million, according to the document posted online Tuesday by the OGE.
Donald Trump’s activities in the cryptocurrency sector are the main reason for the virtual tripling of his personal wealth, from 2.3 to 6.5 billion dollars between 2024 and 2026 according to the Forbes magazine website.
The former real estate developer is regularly accused of conflicts of interest, in particular for having invested in the electronic currency industry while he has taken, since his inauguration, several measures to deregulate the sector, causing the price of assets to jump.
In addition to the income from WLF and its cryptocurrency, Donald Trump also earned several million dollars thanks to the shares of several listed companies active in cryptocurrencies, such as the Coinbase exchange platform.
Donald Trump’s assets are housed in a trust administered by his son, Donald Jr. But its statutes provide that the entity can be dissolved at any time, which means that the billionaire could regain control at the end of his second term.
