The US president, Donald trump, has disclosed cryptocurrency income on a scale with no modern precedent.
Key Takeaways
- Trump’s 2025 financial disclosure was released June 30, 2026, by the Office of Government Ethics.
- It lists $236.25 million in net proceeds from World Liberty Financial token sales.
- The filing details crypto held in cold wallets across ETH, BTC, USDC, USD, and LINK.
- Reviewer notes flag a 45-day extension and late fees for previously unreported transactions.
Donald Trump’s annual financial disclosure for 2025, filed on OGE Form 278e, was certified by the US Office of Government Ethics on June 30, 2026. The 927-page report details hundreds of millions of dollars in crypto-related income, most of it tied to a single venture: World Liberty Financial.
The Document and Two Administrative Flags
The filing is Trump’s annual disclosure as President, signed June 29 and certified June 30, 2026. Two notes in the reviewer comments are worth stating plainly, as factual details rather than interpretation. Trump was granted a 45-day extension to file, and he paid late filing fees related to transactions not previously reported on 278-T forms, meaning some of these transactions are appearing in the annual report rather than in the earlier periodic filings that would normally capture them.
World Liberty Financial, the Income Vehicle
The crypto income runs through DT Marks Defi LLC (formerly DT Tower II LLC), which holds Coinbase accounts and a 38.25% ownership interest in WLF Holdco LLC. World Liberty Financial is the Trump-linked crypto company, co-founded by members of his family, that issues the WLFI governance token and the USD1 stablecoin. The disclosed income is described in the filing as proceeds from token sales distributed by World Liberty Financial.
The single line that has been independently confirmed in coverage of the filing is $236.25 million in net proceeds from those token sales. The filing breaks the broader crypto income across several entries tied to individual wallets.
The Figures, Wallet by Wallet
According to the filing’s Line 124 entries, the disclosed crypto-related income includes:
| Entry | Disclosed Income |
|---|---|
| Token Sales | $236,250,000 |
| Ethereum (cold wallet) | $150,606,931 |
| Sale of equity in WLF Holdco | $65,625,000 |
| USDC (cold wallet) | $56,036,445 |
| USD (cold wallet) | $42,250,000 |
| Bitcoin (cold wallet) | $33,462,160 |
| LINK (cold wallet) | $2,754,611 |
| ETH staking validator rewards | $1,821,628 |
| USDC interest income | $6,995 |
Added together, those Line 124 entries come to roughly $588.8 million in disclosed income, all attributed in the filing to World Liberty Financial token sales and distributions. Ethereum is the largest single holding by income at over $150 million, with its wallet value listed as “Over $50,000,000,” followed by USDC and then Bitcoin, whose wallet value is also listed as “Over $50,000,000.” The LINK wallet value is listed in the $500,001 to $1,000,000 band.
An Actively Staked Position
The filing also shows the Ethereum isn’t sitting idle. It is staked through a Coinbase staking agreement, generating $1,821,628 in validator rewards over the period. That makes it an active, yield-generating position rather than a static cold-storage holding, with the staking conducted through the same Coinbase accounts the disclosure references.
The Celebration Coins Figure, Unverified
One line item warrants separate caution. A section of the filing appears to list a license agreement with an entity called Celebration Coins carrying $635,068,835 in royalties, a figure larger than all the World Liberty Financial entries combined. This number should be treated as unverified for now. The source image is partially watermarked and its context isn’t fully clear, and it has not been corroborated in independent reporting on the disclosure. Until it can be confirmed against the certified filing directly, it shouldn’t be reported as an established figure, only noted as appearing in the document and requiring verification.
Set against the historical record, the scale is the story. The filing shows Trump holding cryptocurrency across multiple cold wallets covering USD, USDC, Ethereum, Bitcoin, and LINK, with the Ethereum position actively staked, and with World Liberty Financial as the primary income vehicle tied back through the 38.25% WLF Holdco stake. The roughly $589 million in disclosed crypto income from World Liberty distributions alone, in a single filing period, has no modern precedent for a sitting US president, no prior occupant of the office has disclosed crypto holdings or income at anywhere near this magnitude.

It started in 2016 with Bitcoin. Like most people at the time, he didn’t fully understand it – so he kept digging. Blockchain, tokenomics, the projects, the cycles. That curiosity never stopped, and eventually pulled him into traditional markets too: equities, commodities, macro. Not because he left crypto behind, but because you can’t properly understand one without the other.
What drives him is straightforward: he wants to know why something is happening, not just that it’s happening. Most market coverage stops at the headline – price up, price down, here’s a chart. Alex finds that kind of reporting actively unhelpful. If you walk away from an article without understanding the mechanism behind the move, what did you actually learn?

He has authored over 200 in-depth analyses and more than 10,000 articles across crypto and traditional finance. He still thinks every day in markets teaches him something new. That’s probably why he hasn’t stopped.
