US President Donald Trump made more than $1bn (£750m) last year from business dealings in cryptocurrency, according to his mandatory financial report for 2025. In a 927-page disclosure, he reported $635m in royalties from a Trump meme coin that has plunged in value since he launched it days before taking office. He also reported over $500m in income from World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency firm founded by his own sons and the children of his special envoy, Steve Witkoff. Trump also earned millions more from real estate and Trump-themed items. But the White House denied he was profiting from the presidency. White House deputy press secretary Anna Kelly said the president had proudly made the US "the crypto capital of the world". "Neither the President nor his family has ever engaged - or will ever engage - in conflicts of interest," she said in a statement.
