Washington: US President Donald Trump, long associated with hotels, golf courses and real estate, has reportedly seen his income surge to around Rs 22,000 crore over the past year, helped significantly by cryptocurrency-related ventures.
The Trump business group has traditionally earned heavily from hospitality, commercial properties, golf facilities and land-related real estate activity. However, the report says digital currency initiatives have now outpaced those legacy revenue streams.
According to the details, the Trump family entered the crypto sector fully in 2024, launching a new cryptocurrency under the name “World Liberty Financial,” in which Trump and his sons are described as key stakeholders.
A separate cryptocurrency branded as the “Trump meme coin” was introduced before Trump returned to the presidency. After these launches, revenue from crypto projects reportedly multiplied.
The group’s total income is said to have risen from about Rs 6,000 crore in 2024 to roughly Rs 22,000 crore in 2025, with around Rs 11,900 crore attributed to cryptocurrency. The report also notes that during his earlier term, Trump had criticised cryptocurrency as a “scam.”
