- Trump earned $57 million through his involvement with World Liberty Financial, holding 15.75 billion governance tokens, but the exact source of the token income remains unclear.
- World Liberty Financial, launched in September 2024, has raised approximately $550 million and attracted major investors like Justin Sun and Web3Port.
Trump has revealed his massive earnings from his connection with World Liberty Financial. This profit disclosure goes to show how much involvement he has in the crypto space.
According to a report filed with the US Office of Government Ethics on the 13th of June, Trump made $57 million profit from crypto linked to his work with World Liberty Financial. The money came from deals and tokens handled by the company, making this one of Trump’s biggest steps into the crypto space.
According to the details of the filing, Trump owns 15.75 billion governance tokens in WLFI, and his number of tokens automatically gives him voting power in the company. However, the details do not cover how these tokens were valued or if they were converted into cash. It only mentions WLFI income as “$57,437,927” without saying if it came from selling tokens, earning rewards, or any other method.
World Financial Liberty Establishment and Trump’s Involvement
World Liberty Financial, a decentralized protocol platform that started in September 2024. The platform has grown its funding compared to its time of inception. The firm collected $200 million during its first public token sale and another $250 million in the second round. Altogether, the company has successfully raised about $550 million.
One of the platform’s major aims is to build tools for decentralized finance and create stablecoins tied to the dollar so as to help with current financial systems. So far, the project has attracted support and major names in the crypto world. For instance, the founder of TRON, Justin Sun, invested $30 million in November 2024 and got 2 billion WLFI tokens at a low price of $0.015 each. Web3Port, another blockchain-based platform, added $10 million in January 2025, and Oddiyana Ventures also joined in, though the amount they put in wasn’t shared.
So far, the filing doesn’t explain how the tokens were valued or used; the large income figure just suggests that Trump may have gained from some kind of token conversion or that the tokens were given a high value for reporting purposes. The fact still remains that the exact way the money was earned remains unclear.
