Trump’s 2024 Crypto Earnings Top $58 Million—DeFi Stake Drives Most of the Haul

Donald Trump earned over $58 million from crypto-related ventures in 2024, according to his latest financial disclosure report.

The majority of these gains came from his involvement in World Liberty Financial (WLF), a decentralized finance platform closely linked to the Trump family. Trump reported making $57.4 million from token sales connected to WLF, suggesting he sold part of his holdings during the year. He also holds 15.75 million governance tokens in the platform, giving him substantial voting influence.

In addition to his DeFi earnings, Trump collected more than $1 million from NFT INT, LLC, the entity responsible for licensing his non-fungible tokens. His financial disclosures also included $100,000 in royalties and another $216,000 in NFT-related licensing fees. In total, Trump reported a minimum of $622 million in 2024 revenue across all his ventures and valued his business-linked assets at over $1.4 billion.

These figures do not account for the even more substantial crypto earnings expected in 2025. According to Forbes, Trump has made an estimated $1 billion from crypto ventures since launching his NFT collections in 2022. Much of the projected revenue this year is tied to the memecoin “Official Trump (TRUMP),” which was introduced just before his second term began. Trump’s companies control 80% of the token’s supply and reportedly receive a large share of transaction fees. While the coin’s price peaked around inauguration day before falling, fee revenue has remained strong, reaching about $350 million this year, according to Chainalysis.

WLF’s fundraising also ramped up heading into 2025. After raising $300 million in October 2024, the firm completed a second round in March 2025, collecting another $250 million. Forbes estimates that Trump personally netted around $246 million after taxes from these token sales. Recently, WLF also launched a stablecoin called USD1 and began distributing airdrops to early backers, further expanding its product lineup.

With multiple projects gaining traction and token revenues continuing to climb, Trump’s earnings from crypto appear far from finished. His financial disclosure may be the first glimpse into what could become one of the most profitable years yet in his digital asset ventures.
