Trump Makes $57 Million from Cryptocurrency Venture, World Liberty Financial

In his 2025 financial disclosure filed with the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, former President Donald Trump reported earning $57.4 million from World Liberty Financial (WLFI). The details, released on June 13th, show a simple figure without specifying the source of income: token sales, staking rewards, or another mechanism. 2025’s public financial report also lists Trump’s holding of 15.75 billion WLFI governance tokens, which grant voting rights in the decentralized structure of the company. WLFI launched its first public token sale in September 2024 and raised $550 million from two subsequent sales, totaling $200 million for the first sale and an additional $250 million for the second sale. This significant amount has driven up the internal valuation of WLFI’s governance tokens to roughly $3.64 per token (though market price is not published). The company boasts support from prominent investors like Tron founder Justin Sun, who invested $30 million in November 2024 and acquired 2 billion tokens at $0.015 each. Web3Port also committed $10 million in January. These investments highlight WLFI’s appeal to institutional investors looking for opportunities in DeFi-focused ventures. Trump’s income from WLFI sets the stage for a crucial debate about presidential offices and private digital asset businesses, particularly within the realm of cryptocurrency.
