In a financial disclosure filed June 13 with the US Office of Government 
Ethics, US President Donald Trump reported earning $57.4 million from World 
Liberty Financial—a crypto venture he launched alongside his sons, Donald Jr. 
and Eric. The form also reveals he holds 15.75 billion governance tokens in 
the project, giving him direct voting power over its direction. Related

Erupt Trump’s Token Windfall According to the disclosure, Trump’s income line 
reads “$57,437,927.” It doesn’t say if he sold tokens, earned staking rewards, 
or used another method. But the number is huge. It hints that he either cashed 
out part of his stake or that an internal valuation put the tokens’ worth very 
high. Massive Fundraising Rounds Based on reports from March, World Liberty 
Financial raised $200 million in its first token sale. A second round pulled 
in $250 million. That brings total fundraising to roughly $550 million. The 
project kicked off in September 2024. It aims to offer DeFi services and 
dollar-pegged stablecoins as an alternative to banks. Big Investors Join In 
Tron founder Justin Sun invested $30 million in November 2024. He got 2 
billion WLFI tokens at an early price of $0.015 each. Web3Port added $10 
million in January 2025, and Oddiyana Ventures also came on board. They didn’t 
say how much that fund put in. These bids suggest major players believe the 
project can grow. Ethics Questions Loom Based on the ethics filing, Trump 
still has roles in related holding companies like CIC Digital LLC and CIC 
Ventures LLC. But income from those is small or zero. The form carries his 
certification that everything is “true, complete, and correct to the best of 
[his] knowledge.” It will be reviewed by the Office of Government Ethics.

disclosure also notes his past digital ventures. He previously reported 
earnings from NFT projects such as Trump Digital Trading Cards. This time, no 
new NFT income shows up. Instead, all the focus is on World Liberty Financial. 
That venture now stands as the biggest piece of his crypto footprint. Critics 
will point to potential conflicts of interest. A sitting president profiting 
from tokens that grant voting power in a financial project raises eyebrows. 
Supporters might argue it’s just savvy investing. Either way, the numbers are 
out in the open now. And the public can see that Donald Trump made a hefty 
gain from a startup he helped launch—and that he still holds sway over its 
future. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from TradingView
