U.S. President
Donald Trump
reported hundreds of millions of dollars in income from crypto, golf clubs and licensing ventures in a public
financial disclosure
report released on Friday that provided a glimpse of the vast business holdings of America's billionaire president.
The annual financial disclosure form, which appeared to cover the 2024 calendar year, shows the president's push into crypto added substantially to his wealth but he also reported large fees from developments and revenues from his other businesses.

While Trump has said he has put his businesses into a trust managed by his children, the disclosures show how income from them still ultimately accrue to the president - something that has opened him to conflicts of interest. Some of his businesses in areas such as crypto, for example, benefit from U.S. policy shifts under him and have become a source of criticism.

The financial disclosure was signed on June 13 and did not state the time period it covered. The details of the
cryptocurrency
listings, as well as other information in the disclosure, suggest it was through the end of December 2024, which would exclude most of the money raised by the family's cryptocurrency ventures.
Live Events
Given the speed at which the Trump family has made deals during his ascent to the presidency, the filing is already a time capsule of sorts, capturing a period when they were just starting to get into crypto but were largely still in the world of real estate deals and golf clubs.
A meme coin released earlier this year by the president -
$TRUMP
- alone has earned an estimated $320 million in fees, though it's not publicly known how that amount has been divided between a Trump-controlled entity and its partners.
In addition to the meme coin fees, the Trump family has raked in more than $400 million from
World Liberty Financial
, a decentralized finance company. The Trump family is involved, also, with a bitcoin mining operation and digital asset exchange-traded funds.
In the disclosures, Trump reported $57.35 million from
token sales
at World Liberty. He also reported holding 15.75 billion governance tokens in the venture.
The wealth of the Republican businessman-turned-politician ranges from crypto to real estate, and a large part on paper is tied up in his stake in Trump Media & Technology Group, owner of social media platform Truth Social.
The disclosure showed income from various assets including Trump's properties in Florida. Trump's three golf-focused resorts in the state - Jupiter, Doral and West Palm Beach - plus his nearby private members' club at
Mar-a-Lago
generated at least $217.7 million in income, according to the filing.
The disclosure also listed income of $5 million in license fees from a development in Vietnam.
Trump collected royalty money, also, from a variety of deals - $1.3 million from the Greenwood Bible (its website describes it 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.

‘Our victory will be your victory': Israel's Netanyahu lauds Trump's backing of Iran strikes

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sent effusive birthday wishes to US President Donald Trump on Saturday, praising him as a staunch ally as Israel continued to bombard its arch foe Iran. read more This handout picture released by the Iranian Red Crescent on June 14, 2025, show Iranian Red Crescent volunteers working in a Tehran neighbourhood hit by a reported Israeli strike. (Photo by Iranian Red Crescent / AFP) Israel's air strikes on Iran had the 'clear support' of US President Donald Trump, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Saturday, saying 'Our victory will be your victory. There had been reports in the Israeli press of friction between the two men in recent weeks as Netanyahu threatened to attack Iran, even as the U.S. was in talks with Tehran to secure restrictions on its long-contested nuclear programme. However, within hours of Israel launching its large-scale assault on Friday, Trump said the attacks were 'excellent' and 'very successful'. Netanyahu responded on Saturday by showering the U.S. leader with praise. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'Happy Birthday to you, President Donald J. Trump,' Netanyahu said in a statement. 'You've been an extraordinary leader, decisive, courageous, with a clear vision and clear action. You have done great things for Israel.' With Israeli warplanes attacking sites linked to Iran's atomic programme, Netanyahu framed the operation as part of a broader struggle between free societies and a 'criminal regime in Iran' that seeks to export violence across the world. 'Our enemy is your enemy… We're dealing with something that will threaten all of us sooner or later. Our victory will be your victory,' Netanyahu said in a video statement addressed to Trump on the US leader's birthday. 'This is what Israel is doing with the support, the clear support of the president of the United States, Donald Trump, and the American people and many others in the world.' Iran has repeatedly denied Western accusations that it has covertly sought to develop nuclear bombs and it has accused the U.S. of being complicit in Israel's attacks this week – something Washington has rejected. Netanyahu also extended birthday congratulations to the U.S. military on its 250th anniversary, calling American troops 'guardians of freedom for two and a half centuries'.

‘No Kings' protests: Anti-Trump erupt across US as military parade looms; officials urge calm

Tens of thousands of protesters rallied across the United States on Saturday under the banner of 'No Kings,' denouncing President Donald Trump's leadership as he prepared to headline a massive military parade in Washington to mark the Army's 250th anniversary — which also coincides with his 79th birthday. While no demonstrations were scheduled in the capital itself, rallies swept through nearly 2,000 locations nationwide, from bustling cities to small-town parks. In Philadelphia's Love Park — site of the flagship rally — light rain didn't deter crowds from chanting, singing altered lyrics to 'Y.M.C.A.,' and waving protest signs. Some signs read 'Fight oligarchy' and 'Deport the mini-Mussolinis.' Others addressed immigration with slogans like 'The wrong ice is melting. ' 'It's about defending democracy,' said Karen Van Trieste, a 61-year-old nurse from Maryland who returned to her hometown of Philadelphia to join the protest. 'There's just too much going wrong under this administration.' In Atlanta, the 5,000-person capacity rally outside the state Capitol quickly reached its limit, with overflow crowds spilling onto surrounding streets. A drum circle beat in front of Los Angeles City Hall, while in Charlotte, North Carolina, demonstrators shouted, 'We have no kings.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Live Comfortably: 60 m² Prefab Bungalow for Seniors in Masazir Pre Fabricated Homes | Search Ads Search Now Undo National Guard mobilised amid warnings The 50501 Movement, organisers of the 'No Kings' campaign — a nod to 50 states, 50 protests, one movement — said the effort is aimed at resisting what they describe as Trump's 'authoritarian actions.' The protests come in the wake of widespread anger over recent federal immigration raids and Trump's deployment of National Guard troops and Marines in Los Angeles. In response, governors in Virginia, Texas, Nebraska and Missouri activated the National Guard. Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin warned, 'If you violate the law, you're going to be arrested.' In Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis cautioned protesters not to cross the line near Mar-a-Lago, where a march is planned. Missouri's Mike Kehoe said his state would not 'wait for chaos to ensue.' Some law enforcement agencies, such as California's, placed their officers on tactical alert, cancelling all scheduled leave. In West Virginia, the National Guard was also put on standby. Local officials urge restraint Democratic governors urged protesters to remain peaceful. Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro said security preparations were in place for what could become a 100,000-strong crowd in Philadelphia. Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs and Washington state's Bob Ferguson both called on protesters to avoid violence, with Ferguson warning against giving Trump a reason to deploy federal forces. In Tallahassee, Florida, around 1,000 demonstrators chanted 'dissent is patriotic,' while carrying signs like 'One nation under distress.' Organisers explicitly instructed crowds to avoid clashes with counterprotesters and not to obstruct traffic. Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner underscored that any illegal activity — including by immigration officers overstepping their authority — would be prosecuted. Quoting Martin Luther King Jr., he said, 'If you are doing what Martin Luther King would have done, you're going to be fine.'
