Donald Trump Earns $57.4 Million From Cryptocurrency Venture in 2024

Donald Trump earned approximately $57.4 million from his cryptocurrency venture, World Liberty Financial, in 2024, as outlined in a recent US government report. His earnings were derived from token sales, with WLF operating a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar. The firm aims to improve financial accessibility using blockchain technology. Furthermore, Trump signed an executive order to set up a US Digital Asset Stockpile in March 2025.

In a recent report, former US President Donald Trump reportedly earned nearly $57.4 million from his cryptocurrency venture, World Liberty Financial (WLF), in 2024. This information comes from a comprehensive 234-page government ethics report, which was released for the year culminating on December 31, 2024. The report mentions that Trump’s income stemmed from ‘token sales’ conducted by his company, which operates within the cryptocurrency sector.

At the age of 79, Trump holds the title of Co-Founder Emeritus at WLF, alongside his sons — Eric, Donald Jr., and Barron, who are also co-founders. The company, established in partnership with Steven Witkoff, a noted American real estate investor and lawyer, indicates Trump’s significant involvement. As per the filing, he has control over the WLFI protocol and governance platform, token treasury, digital wallets, and the company’s intellectual property. There are specified service agreements existing between Trump and the other founding members of World Liberty Financial as of the report’s end date.

World Liberty Financial is based in Miami, Florida, and operates a stablecoin known as the World Liberty Financial Token (USD1), which is pegged to the US dollar. As of mid-June 2025, the token was reported to be trading at approximately 0.35 percent higher than a dollar. Data from CoinMarketCap shows that USD1 reached its peak value of $1.01 on May 12, 2025, and hit its lowest point at $0.991 on April 16, 2025. The firm’s mission is stated to be focused on enhancing accessibility to financial services through a blockchain-based framework.

WLF asserts that its objective is to foster a fairer financial system where opportunities are not solely dictated by factors such as location or social standing. The website of WLF mentions, “Our goal is to create a fairer system where opportunity isn’t limited by location, status, or permission.” The revenue for World Liberty Financial is generated primarily from the sale of its USD1 token along with other related offerings.

Moreover, in March 2025, Trump took a significant step by signing an executive order aimed at establishing a “Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a US Digital Asset Stockpile.” This move appears to be part of an effort to bolster the United States’ position as a frontrunner in the realm of digital asset strategies.
