The annual report also included $80 million in income from settlements tied to lawsuits he filed against companies like ABC, CBS, Meta and YouTube.

Donald Trump earned more than $635 million from a licensing agreement with a cryptocurrency group specializing in “meme” coins bearing his name last year, an amount that pushed his total crypto holdings past $1 billion, according to a lengthy financial disclosure form he released Tuesday.

The figures from 2025 — the first year of Trump’s second term — were disclosed to the U.S. Office of Government Ethics in a 927-page document. By comparison, President Barack Obama’s final disclosure form was eight pages, while President Joe Biden’s was 11 pages. Vice President JD Vance’s form for last year is 17 pages.

Trump’s meme-coin earnings came on top of more than $236 million worth from additional crypto token sales, and an additional sale of equity worth more than $65 million associated with Trump family crypto venture World Liberty Financial. There’s also more than $290 million classified as income from cryptocurrency wallets associated with World Liberty.

        Malicious yes, predators yes, corrupt yes, fucked up yes, stupid? No. You think you can become a president and make billions by scamming stealing and lying? Try it, it’s not that easy. We need to stop underestimating them. They will take everything they can and leave us to die.

        Dumb governments for dumb peoples. Social media and smartphone addiction created this. But Trump is surely not stupid, he just shamelessly hoards what he can (mainly illegally I suppose - but laws won’t bring him down) from bamboozled citizens.

        To clarify: dumb peoples is meant for the each and every population in the world…

      The 635M was in licensing, so he got hundreds of millions to give permission to name shitcoins “Trumpcoin” or something. I’m not sure why they lump it together with crypto holdings though.

    And that’s just the stuff he discloses. I would not put it past him to have a lot of deals running, and of course there is always his grifting family to take into account, too.

    I’m sure it’s fine. Why would a cryptocurrency group have an online presence? It’s not as if the technology is entirely dependent on a network connection or anything:

    The $635 million was earned from a group called “Celebration Coins.” No digital footprint could be found for the group, and a representative for the Trump Organization did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday night.

      He’s a garbage excuse for a human. Sadly, our society largely rewards people like him. All it takes is the wrong person in the right place at the right time.
