Crypto-related gains top $1.2bn
The U.S. Office of Government Ethics on June 30 released the 2025 asset report filed by U.S. President Donald Trump. Income related to digital assets, or cryptocurrencies, topped $1.2 billion (about 200 billion yen), prompting concerns from the opposition Democratic Party and others about possible conflicts of interest.
WLF and meme coin ventures also a source of income
Trump received more than $500 million from World Liberty Financial (WLF), a crypto-related company launched by Trump and his relatives. He also recorded proceeds from the sale of shares in WLF's holding company.
Income at CIC Digital, which runs the meme coin business, totaled $636 million, with almost all of it coming from royalties under a licensing agreement with Celebration Coins.
Real estate and merchandise sales also profitable
The report runs to 927 pages. Trump also profited from sales of merchandise such as sneakers and Bibles bearing his name, and received about $4.7 million just from Trump Watches.
Trump, who made his fortune in real estate, also generated substantial income from golf courses and related facilities. He reported more than $290 million in related income from facilities including those in Palm Beach, Florida, in the south, and New Jersey in the east. It also disclosed stock purchases in U.S. Apple, Microsoft and Nvidia, companies with which he has had good relations in his second administration.
Gifts and Vance's report
As gifts, he received 10 tickets to the World Cup final from FIFA President Gianni Infantino, valued at the equivalent of $15,000.
According to Forbes, Trump's personal wealth reached $6.5 billion in 2026, up from $2.3 billion in 2024 before he took office for a second term.
Questions about Trump have intensified since the launch of his second administration. In October 2025, he abruptly pardoned Changpeng Zhao, founder of crypto exchange Binance. Zhao had been convicted of violating anti-money-laundering laws and other offenses.
According to U.S. media, a royal family from the United Arab Emirates invested $500 million in WLF and acquired a 49% stake. The deal was reached four days before Trump took office as president.
The Office of Government Ethics also released Vice President Vance's asset report, which ran to just 17 pages. It listed income from his books as well as crypto holdings worth between $250,000 and $500,000.
