Donald Trump and his family recorded over $1 billion in profit from cryptocurrency ventures in 2025, according to a Financial Times report. The President’s growing digital asset portfolio includes meme coins, stablecoins, and DeFi tokens, marking a major shift toward crypto-driven wealth accumulation ahead of his return to the Oval Office.
Trump’s Expanding Crypto Portfolio and Record Profits
According to the Financial Times, Trump’s crypto-linked ventures generated over $1 billion in pre-tax profit during the past year. Much of this income came from World Liberty Financial (WLFI), co-founded by Trump’s sons and Steve Witkoff’s family. The company operates the WLFI governance token and the USD1 stablecoin.
WLFI earned about $550 million from token sales and sold $2.7 billion worth of USD1 stablecoins. Financial filings showed Trump personally received $57.3 million in income from WLFI in 2024. The report added that if stablecoin reserves were invested in short-term U.S. debt, they would have earned about $40 million in interest.
The Financial Times found that most of the family’s crypto income originated from WLFI’s activities, while other projects contributed smaller portions. Eric Trump told the outlet that the $1 billion estimate was “probably more,” referencing ongoing profits from meme coins and token sales.
Meme Coins and Trump Media’s Crypto Pivot
Two meme coins, TRUMP and MELANIA, collectively generated $427 million in trading volume and fees, according to FT data. Both tokens launched days before Trump’s return to office, with the President’s companies reportedly holding 80% of the ventures.
In addition, Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) pivoted to digital assets after a $401 million loss in 2024. The company has since raised billions to purchase tokens and launch Bitcoin investment products. Reports estimate the firm now holds over $3 billion in cash reserves, with Trump owning a 53% stake.
Earlier this year Trump’s net worth grew by $3 billion over 12 months. His administration’s pro-crypto stance, including the GENIUS Act and 401(k) crypto investment order, has strengthened market confidence. Analysts view Trump’s digital asset expansion as part of a broader push to position the U.S. as a “crypto capital,” reflecting both political and economic momentum.
