President Trump has been ordered to pay $5 million to E. Jean Carroll, but it won't make much of a dent in his finances. The president's 2025 financial disclosure shows he took in almost $1.2 billion from cryptocurrency dealings alone last year, largely driven by digital assets tied directly to his brand and family, the BBC reports. The 927-page report lists $635 million in royalties from a Trump-branded meme coin launched three days before his inauguration—despite the token's steep drop in value since. The disclosure shows that in total, Trump pulled in at least $2.2 billion last year, reports the New York Times.
Trump also reported more than $500 million from World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency company created by his sons and the children of his special envoy Steve Witkoff; the Trump family is entitled to 75% of its proceeds. The filing notes hundreds of millions of gains in financial market investments and additional millions from familiar territory: real estate and Trump-themed merchandise such as Bibles, guitars, and watches. He made $4.7 million from the Trump-branded watches alone and took in $77 million from Mar-a-Lago, a 50% jump from the previous year, the AP reports. The disclosure also lists payouts from settlements with companies including ABC, Paramount, and Meta.
The haul marks a sharp rise from the roughly $600 million in income disclosed for 2024, the year before Trump returned to office. Responding to questions about potential conflicts, White House deputy press secretary Anna Kelly said Trump has made the US "the crypto capital of the world" and insisted that neither he nor his family has engaged in conflicts of interest, the BBC reports. "All actions by President Trump and his administration are taken in the best interest of the American people—and any so-called 'reporters' pushing otherwise are recycling the same, tired, false narrative that Democrats and the legacy media have been pushing for a decade," she said.
