The Washington Post: Trump’s income in 2025 is unprecedented for US presidents

The growth of US President Donald Trump’s fortune in 2025 is unprecedented for American leaders.

Such assessments were provided by the newspaper The Washington Post (WP).

As noted in the publication, none of the previous US presidents received such income while in office as that reported by President Donald Trump this week. "According to the president’s latest financial disclosure, his income soared last year to more than $2.2 billion, driven by investments in cryptocurrency and related projects," the outlet emphasizes.

Trump’s financial disclosure was published on June 30 by the Office of Government Ethics. The US president received income of about $2.2 billion in 2025, including more than $1 billion from cryptocurrency-related operations. He earned, in particular, about $500 million from sales of cryptocurrency by World Liberty Financial. His sons Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. hold leadership positions in the company. The head of the Washington administration also received about $600 million in royalties from the sale of the digital currency $TRUMP.

The American leader indicated in his 2025 disclosure that his fortune exceeds $2.4 billion. However, as the publication emphasizes, his assets are almost certainly worth more, given the rules for preparing financial reports. According to Forbes magazine’s estimate, the total value of Trump’s assets reached about $6.5 billion in March 2026.

Experts interviewed by the newspaper’s journalists noted that the US president’s income from cryptocurrency projects may indicate potential conflicts of interest. They pointed out that the Washington administration is actively engaged in regulation in the digital currency sector.

According to information Trump previously indicated in financial disclosures, he received at least $440 million in 2019, and in 2024, before the start of his second term as president, he earned about $600 million.
