President Donald Trump disclosed Sunday earning more than $600 million from cryptocurrency, golf resorts, licensing deals, and other ventures.

The disclosure, covering what appears to be the 2024 calendar year, highlights how Trump’s expanding interests in digital assets have significantly boosted his personal wealth. Overall, Trump reported at least $1.6 billion in assets, according to a Reuters analysis.

While Trump has claimed to place his business holdings in a trust managed by his children, the financial statements show that income from these ventures ultimately continues to flow to the president, fueling ongoing concerns over conflicts of interest. Critics have pointed out that some of his crypto-related enterprises may benefit from federal policy changes under his administration.

“President Trump, Vice President Vance, and senior White House staff have completed required ethics briefings and financial reporting obligations,” said White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt in an emailed response. “The Trump Administration is committed to transparency and accessibility for the American people.”

Signed on June 13, the disclosure does not specify the exact timeframe it covers, though details suggest it spans through December 2024, before a surge in revenue from newer Trump-family cryptocurrency ventures.

A meme coin called $TRUMP, launched earlier this year, alone generated an estimated $320 million in fees. However, how those earnings are divided among Trump-affiliated entities and partners has not been disclosed.

Beyond the meme coin, Trump reported $57.35 million in token sales from World Liberty Financial, a decentralized finance platform. He also disclosed holding 15.75 billion governance tokens in the company. Additional involvement includes a bitcoin mining operation and investments in digital asset ETFs.

Trump’s broader wealth spans from cryptocurrency and real estate to his stake in Trump Media & Technology Group, parent of the social media platform Truth Social.

In passive investments alone, Trump reported over $12 million in income, including from interest and dividends, based on a total portfolio of at least $211 million. Major holdings include Blue Owl Capital Corp and bond funds from Charles Schwab and Invesco.

The disclosure lists income ranges rather than specific totals, meaning the actual value of Trump’s holdings and income is likely higher than what is shown.

Among his Florida properties, Trump’s golf resorts—Jupiter, Doral, and West Palm Beach, as well as Mar-a-Lago, brought in at least $217.7 million. Trump National Doral, famous for its Blue Monster course, was the top earner with $110.4 million in revenue.

Internationally, Trump reported $5 million in licensing fees from a project in Vietnam, $10 million in development fees from India, and nearly $16 million in licensing for a Dubai venture.

Trump also collected royalties from various branded products, including nearly $7 million from a Bible, watches, sneakers and fragrances.

In the digital collectibles space, Trump earned $1.16 million from NFTs featuring his image. First Lady Melania Trump reported approximately $216,700 in license fees from her own NFT collection.
