- Donald Trump’s family gains over $1 billion pre-tax from various crypto ventures.
- WLFI token generates approximately $550 million despite a 57% decline from peak.
- Presidential meme coins $TRUMP and $MELANIA produce a combined $427 million profit.
President Donald Trump and his family have accumulated more than $1 billion in pre-tax profits from cryptocurrency-related businesses, according to Financial Times analysis. The calculation includes only realized gains from digital assets, including tokens, meme coins, and decentralized finance platforms.
Eric Trump stated the actual figure is “probably more” than the calculated amount when asked about the $1 billion estimate. The ventures span multiple cryptocurrency product categories, including WLFI tokens, presidential meme coins, stablecoins, and digital trading cards.
Forbes reported separately in September that the President’s net worth increased by $3 billion over a twelve-month period. Trump has maintained business interests while in office rather than divesting like previous presidents.
WLFI token leads revenue generation
The largest earnings source comes from the WLFI token associated with World Liberty Financial. The token generated approximately $550 million despite declining 57% from its September peak value.
WLFI remained non-tradable by investors until September, when public trading commenced. Trump disclosed receiving $57.3 million in personal income from World Liberty Financial in his latest financial statement for 2024.
Presidential meme coins $TRUMP and $MELANIA represent the second-largest revenue contributor at a combined $427 million. The Official Trump project website indicates that Trump companies “collectively own” 80% of the meme coin enterprise.
The $MELANIA website lists MKT World, a Trump family company, as the sole entity mentioned. Profit distribution details for meme coin ventures remain unclear based on public disclosures.
The Official Trump meme coin has dropped more than 91% from its January 2025 peak. Trump hosted an exclusive dinner in May 2025 at a golf club for the top 220 token holders, with Tron founder Justin Sun holding the largest position.
Stablecoin and trading cards add revenue
World Liberty Financial launched the USD1 stablecoin alongside its token offerings. The company has sold approximately $2.71 billion worth of USD1 to date.
If proceeds from USD1 sales were invested in short-term U.S. government debt, World Liberty Financial would generate between $40 million and $42 million in interest and fees from backing assets. This is a potential additional income from the stablecoin operation.
Digital trading cards featuring images of the President in various costumes have generated “several million dollars” according to the Financial Times report. Exact revenue figures for this product line were not disclosed.
