President Donald Trump earned over $1.4 billion from family cryptocurrency projects in 2025, according to financial disclosures published by the U.S. Office of Government Ethics. However, analysis by crypto analytics firm Nansen found that roughly two-thirds of early retail investors in the Trump-backed $WLFI token suffered losses, and 85% of those who bought after secondary market launch lost money, with the token's price dropping 81%.
A new U.S. Office of Government Ethics filing reveals that President Donald Trump earned more than $1.4 billion from family cryptocurrency ventures in 2025, according to the Wall Street Journal. The main source was the $WLFI token issued by World Liberty Financial, a company founded by Trump and his sons in September 2024 — generating $800 million in proceeds for Trump alone.
Yet the token has been a losing proposition for most ordinary investors. Crypto analytics firm Nansen tracked 1.48 million wallets that bought $WLFI after its January 2025 launch, finding that roughly two-thirds suffered losses. A separate analysis of 26,663 wallets that bought after the token began trading on secondary markets in September 2025 showed 85% of those buyers also lost money, according to the report. The token's price has fallen 81% since launch.
The Zioneer previously reported on a federal report showing Trump earned $1.2 billion from crypto last year, a figure now updated by this week's disclosure. The new filing provides fuller detail on Trump's World Liberty Financial stake and the meme-coin sales.
