Trump’s Financial Disclosure Revealed: Zero Presidential Salary, $1.4 Billion from Crypto

WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump released a 927-page financial disclosure on June 30, revealing he earned over a billion dollars from cryptocurrency ventures during the first year of his second term, 2025, while drawing no presidential salary.
Trump’s total crypto-related income in 2025 alone reached approximately $1.4 billion. The largest share — $636 million — came from CIC Digital LLC, a company affiliated with the Trump Organization, of which $635 million stemmed from a licensing deal with a crypto group called “Celebration Coins,” believed to be linked to sales of Trump’s $TRUMP meme coin.
An additional $236 million came from sales of other crypto tokens, while the sale of equity shares worth over $65 million tied to the Trump family’s crypto venture World Liberty Financial added further to the total. More than $290 million was also disclosed as income from crypto wallets linked to World Liberty Financial.
Trump has frequently complained publicly that he gets “no credit” for forgoing his $400,000 annual presidential salary. At a public event in Rome, he said: “I gave up my presidential salary. I’m the only president who’s ever done that.” However, according to the New York Times, former presidents John F. Kennedy and Herbert Hoover also donated their salaries to charity. US economist Peter Schiff criticized the claim, writing: “Trump has made billions using the power of the presidency. Why does he need a salary? It’s a trivial amount — he gives up his small salary to get publicity.”
The disclosure also revealed that just ten days after his inauguration, Trump’s investment accounts purchased between $143,000 and $445,000 worth of shares in GEO Group, a private prison company and one of the largest contractors for the US immigration agency ICE — amid a rise in immigrant detentions.
Trump also earned $80 million through legal settlements with media organizations including ABC News, CBS News, Meta, and Google, including $10 million from licensing his image for First Lady Melania Trump’s documentary “Melania.” A White House spokesperson said that under Trump’s presidency, “America has proudly become the crypto capital of the world.”
A Trump Organization representative called the filing “one of the most comprehensive financial disclosures ever submitted,” contrasting it with the final disclosures of former presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden, which spanned just eight and eleven pages respectively.
