Donald Trump’s money-making ventures enriched him by more than $2bn last year, according to newly released financial disclosures.

The revenue was supercharged by the Trump family’s crypto projects, with the documents showing the US president made more than $1bn (£0.76bn) from crypto – an industry he has sought to deregulate.

The US president now gets most of his income from digital assets that have benefited from his own policies. After returning to office, Trump reversed the Biden administration’s tough stance on the crypto industry with new rules, saying he wanted the US to be the “crypto capital of the world”.

In short, he has been a serious player in a market where he is also a rule-maker.

Trump took in nearly $1.2bn from his crypto businesses last year, the documents revealed, including hundreds of millions from sales of souvenir-type coins stamped with his face.

Others who bought the Trump coins have seen significant losses as their value has plummeted after initial hyped sales.

When accounting for everything – from investments to real estate to royalties to Trump own-brand cologne sales (yes, that is real) – the US president made at least $2.2bn in 2025.

In comparison, in 2024 his enterprises pulled in $622m, before he returned to the presidency.

Previous US presidents have made public efforts to show they would not personally profit from business during their time in office, including putting investments into blind trusts. For his second term, Trump has put his sons in charge of his business.

There is no getting around it – Trump has a personal stake in hundreds of companies, from big tech in Silicon Valley to Papa John’s pizza, Netflix and Victoria’s Secret.

One of the reasons Tuesday’s disclosure is so long, at 927 pages, is because the president has been actively buying stocks, and the US Office of Government Ethics names them all.
