U.S. President Donald Trump filed his first public financial disclosure report of the term on Friday, revealing new details about his assets—including earnings from his family’s involvement in cryptocurrencies, reported Reuters.
The disclosure, signed on June 13, did not specify the time period it covered. However, based on the cryptocurrency details and other information in the report, it appears to cover activity through the end of December 2024—excluding much of the revenue generated later by the family’s crypto ventures.
The Republican businessman-turned-president listed a wide range of holdings, spanning real estate and digital assets. A significant portion of his paper wealth remains invested in Trump Media & Technology Group, the company behind his social media platform, Truth Social.
Income from Trump’s Florida properties featured prominently in the disclosure. His three golf-centric resorts in the state—Jupiter, Doral, and West Palm Beach—along with his private club at Mar-a-Lago, collectively brought in at least $217.7 million, the filing showed.
Trump National Doral — the sprawling golf resort near Miami best known for its Blue Monster course — was the single largest income source for the Trump family, bringing in $110.4 million.
The reported income figures represent gross revenues, not net profits after expenses.
The disclosure highlighted the global reach of the Trump business empire, listing $5 million in licensing fees from a development in Vietnam, $10 million in development fees from a project in India, and nearly $16 million from licensing a project in Dubai.
In addition to real estate, Trump also earned royalties from a range of branded merchandise: $1.3 million from the Greenwood Bible (billed as “the only Bible officially endorsed by Lee Greenwood and President Trump”), $2.8 million from Trump Watches, and $2.5 million from Trump Sneakers and Fragrances.
Trump also reported $1.16 million in earnings from his NFT digital trading cards featuring his likeness. Former First Lady Melania Trump earned around $216,700 in licensing fees from her own NFT collection.
