The Trump Organization earned $802 million from cryptocurrency ventures in the first half of 2025, surpassing income from traditional businesses. This figure, based on a Reuters estimate, marks a 17-fold increase from the same period in 2024. Key contributors include World Liberty Financial and the Trump meme coin.
According to a Reuters estimate cited in official disclosures and financial records, the Trump Organization generated $802 million from cryptocurrency during the first half of 2025. This amount exceeded the family's $62 million from real estate and licensing deals in the same period.
World Liberty Financial was the largest source, with token sales of $57 million in late 2024 and $618 million in the first half of 2025, netting a $463 million profit for the Trump family. The Trump meme coin, $TRUMP, with an estimated 50 percent share, brought in $672 million over the same timeframe.
Financial experts highlighted the surge's significance. "The Trump family’s wealth has reportedly surged by more than $800 million, a roughly 17-fold increase, largely tied to crypto holdings and the World Liberty Financial venture," said Kevin Thompson, CEO of 9i Capital Group. Michael Ryan, founder of MichaelRyanMoney.com, noted, "The majority of buyers are foreign entities. Eric Trump was pitching $20 million token packages in Dubai while his father sets U.S. crypto policy."
A lawyer for World Liberty Financial contested the figures, stating, "The Alleged Valuation and Income Analysis of WLFI Is Inaccurate and Misleading."
Alex Beene, a financial literacy instructor at the University of Tennessee at Martin, provided context: "While the Trump family's business ventures may be raising eyebrows given their relationship to the current president, it's not historically unique. Past presidential families have been accused of ‘cashing in’ on their relationship to the Commander-of-Chief."
Thompson described the situation as blurring lines between politics and business, while Ryan called it an unprecedented conflict where the president benefits from an industry he oversees.
