Donald Trump earned nearly $57.4 million from crypto venture in 2024
US President Donald Trump made nearly $57.4 million in 2024 from his cryptocurrency company, World Liberty Financial (WLF), according to a new government report.
The earnings were revealed in a 234-page official US Government Ethics report released for the year ending December 31, 2024.
The report stated that Trump earned this income through 'token sales' from the company, which is involved in the cryptocurrency business.
The 79-year-old Republican is listed as the Co-Founder Emeritus of WLF, while his sons -- Eric Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and Barron Trump -- are also co-founders of the venture.
The company was co-founded by Trump and Steven Witkoff, a well-known American real-estate investor and lawyer.
According to the filing, Trump mainly owns the WLFI protocol and governance platform.
He also controls the token treasury, digital wallets, and the intellectual property of the company.
The document noted that as of the end of 2024, he had certain service agreements with the original founders of World Liberty Financial.
The asset was listed under Miami, Florida. World Liberty Financial runs a stablecoin called the World Liberty Financial Token (USD1), which is tied to the US dollar.
As of Sunday, June 15, 2025, the token was trading 0.35 per cent higher at $1, according to CoinMarketCap.
According to exchange data, the token reached its all-time high of $1.01 on May 12, 2025, while its lowest level was $0.991 on April 16, 2025.
The company claims that its mission is to make financial services more accessible by using open, blockchain-based infrastructure.
'Our goal is to create a fairer system where opportunity isn't limited by location, status, or permission,' says the WLF website.
World Liberty Financial earns money through the sale of its token USD1 and other related products.
Additionally, in March 2025, President Trump signed an executive order to create a 'Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a US Digital Asset Stockpile' as part of his push to position the United States as a global leader in digital asset strategy.

'Full Might Of US Armed Forces Will Come Down': Trump Threatens Iran Amid Israel Conflict
Last Updated: Donald Trump threatened Iran against striking the US in any form amid conflict with Israel and said that the United States forces will come down on Tehran if attacked. President Donald Trump on Saturday (local time) threatened Iran against launching an attack on the United States 'in any way or form", warning that doing so would prompt the country's armed forces to 'come down on you at levels never seen before". He underlined that the Israeli attack on Iran on Saturday night did not have any involvement of the US and therefore any Iranian attack on the US will be consequential. Trump also claimed that he can 'easily" get a deal finalised between Iran and Israel. 'The U.S. had nothing to do with the attack on Iran, tonight. If we are attacked in any way, shape or form by Iran, the full strength and might of the U.S. Armed Forces will come down on you at levels never seen before. However, we can easily get a deal done between Iran and Israel, and end this bloody conflict," Trump posted on Truth Social. His remarks came hours after Israel said it struck Iranian Defence Ministry headquarters, besides energy and nuclear sites, in the overnight attack carried out third night in a row under 'Operation Rising Lion'. A planned round of nuclear talks between the US and Iran, scheduled to be held in Oman today, was called off by the latter. Trump had urged Iran on Friday to agree to a deal with the US over its nuclear programme. Earlier today, the Israel Defence Forces said that they had carried out airstrikes on sites in Tehran linked to Iran's nuclear weapons programmes. Air raid sirens were heard in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv after Iran launched a fresh wave of attacks. Iran's Revolutionary Guards said their missiles and drones targeted Israel's energy systems and facilities that produce fuel for fighter jets. First Published: June 15, 2025, 10:26 IST

"Broken Windows, Shattered Glass": Video Shows US Embassy In Israel Damaged In Iranian Strike
Tel Aviv: The Embassy of the United States in Tel Aviv was temporarily closed after the building sustained minor damage following an Iranian missile strike overnight, US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee confirmed on Monday. Though no injuries or casualties were reported among US diplomatic staff, videos surfaced on the internet showing the consulate building impacted by the concussive force of nearby explosions. Our US Embassy in Israel and Consulate will officially remain closed today as shelter in place still in effect. Some minor damage from concussions of Iranian missile hits near Embassy Branch in Tel Aviv but no injuries to US personnel," Huckabee wrote in a post on X. Our @usembassyjlm US Embassy in Israel & Consulate will officially remain closed today as shelter in place still in effect. Some minor damage from concussions of Iranian missile hits near Embassy Branch in @TelAviv but no injuries to US personnel. — Ambassador Mike Huckabee (@GovMikeHuckabee) June 16, 2025 The videos from the damaged buildings in the coastal hub of Tel Aviv show glass and window panes broken by the force of the missile attack that happened near the building. The embassy was closed for the day after the destruction, and staff were ordered to shelter in safe places, adhering to emergency protocols. Some of the damage inside of the U.S. Embassy Branch Office in Tel-Aviv, caused by this morning's ballistic missile attack by Iran. — OSINTdefender (@sentdefender) June 16, 2025 The attack near the American embassy marks the first direct threat to US diplomatic missions in the region since hostilities between Israel and Iran started that week. Iran unleashed a barrage of missile strikes on Israeli cities early on Monday, after Israel struck military targets deep inside Iran, with both sides threatening further devastation. Israel's Magen David Adom emergency service said five people were killed and 92 wounded on Monday, raising the previous toll of four deaths. After decades of enmity and a prolonged shadow war fought through proxies and covert operations, Israel's surprise assault on Iran last week has touched off the most intense fighting yet and triggered fears of a lengthy conflict that could engulf the Middle East. Israel says its attacks have hit military and nuclear facilities, and killed many top commanders and atomic scientists -- but a senior US official said Sunday that US President Donald Trump told Israel to back down from a plan to kill supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Trump has urged the foes to "make a deal", but told reporters Sunday that "sometimes they have to fight it out" first.

Last Updated: US Embassy In Israel: US Ambassador to Israel said that the Embassy building in Tel Aviv suffered damage in the Iranian missile strikes.

Mike Huckabee, the US Ambassador to Israel, said on social media that minor damage was reported near the branch office in the city after 'concussions of an Iranian missile hit nearby". No US personnel were injured in the incident; however, the US Embassy in the country and its consulate remain closed today due to the ongoing shelter-in-place order.

Some minor damage from concussions of Iranian missile hits near Embassy Branch in @TelAviv but no injuries to US personnel.— Ambassador Mike Huckabee (@GovMikeHuckabee) June 16, 2025 This comes as Israel and Iran continued to fire missiles and drones at each other on Sunday night and early Monday morning. The video emerging from the building showed broken glass and window panes. — OSINTdefender (@sentdefender) June 16, 2025 A day earlier, US President Donald Trump had warned Iran against striking any US assets, threatening 'full might of the armed forces" if they do so. 'The U.S. had nothing to do with the attack on Iran, tonight. If we are attacked in any way, shape or form by Iran, the full strength and might of the U.S. Armed Forces will come down on you at levels never seen before. However, we can easily get a deal done between Iran and Israel, and end this bloody conflict," Trump had said on Truth Social on Saturday (local time), as Israel struck Iran's energy and nuclear sites in a major escalation of the conflict. The ongoing military action by both warring nations has raised fears of missile attacks spiraling into a wider regional conflict. An Iranian top official claimed on camera that Pakistan has told them that they would nuke Israel if it attacks Iran with a nuclear bomb. 'Pakistan has told us that if Israel uses nuclear missiles, we will also attack it with nuclear weapons," Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) general and Iranian National Security Council member Mohsen Rezaei said in an interview. Iran's health ministry has said that Israeli strikes since last Friday — when the first attack took place on nuclear sites — have killed 224 people. Israel launched 'Operation Rising Lion' on June 13 to target Iran's nuclear facilities. In response, Iran launched a counter-operation codenamed 'Operation True Freedom 3'. Ballistic missiles were fired at each other, which have claimed several lives on both sides of the border. First Published: June 16, 2025, 11:10 IST
