In a comprehensive financial disclosure filed on June 13, former President Donald Trump reported more than $600 million in income during the 2024 calendar year, with significant earnings from cryptocurrency ventures, golf resorts, licensing deals, and real estate development. The report offers a detailed snapshot of Trump’s extensive financial footprint, underscoring how his business empire has evolved during his presidency, particularly with rapid inroads into digital assets and decentralized finance.
Crypto Windfall Surpasses $370 Million Amid Regulatory Scrutiny
A standout figure in the disclosure was Trump’s earnings from cryptocurrency-related businesses, which exceeded $370 million. A meme coin released under his name—$TRUMP—generated an estimated $320 million in fees alone, though the disclosure did not specify the exact share retained by Trump-controlled entities. Additional revenue came from World Liberty Financial, a decentralized finance firm closely associated with the Trump family, with the former president reporting $57.35 million from token sales and ownership of 15.75 billion governance tokens.
Highlights:
$320 million from meme coin fees tied to $TRUMP token.
