Donald Trump made more than $1bn (£750m) from cryptocurrency in his first year back in the White House, according to his 2025 financial disclosure report. The document, running to 927 pages, was released by the US Office of Government Ethics and details the president's sprawling business interests.
Vice-President JD Vance's report, by contrast, is a mere 17 pages. Both surpass Joe Biden's disclosure for his last year in office, which ran to just 11 pages. But it is the sheer breadth of Trump's earnings that stands out.
“Trump's 2025 finances show over $1bn from crypto, millions from Bibles and perfume, and Melania's documentary earnings.”
It pays to put your name on products – especially if your name is Donald J Trump. His coffee-table book, Save America, generated $1.8m (£1.38m) last year. The Trump-embossed Bible brought in $208,000. Branded trainers and fragrances, including the Victory 47 perfume for women retailing at $249 a bottle, added $67,000. Even the “American Eagle” limited edition guitar raised around $36,000 from Maga musicians.
Melania Trump also cashed in. The first lady made $10.7m from her eponymous documentary, produced by Amazon at a cost of $40m. She is credited as a producer and subject. The film, which followed her in the run-up to Trump's second inauguration, generated $7m at the box office in 2025. She also earned $6m from selling non-fungible tokens – a type of cryptocurrency – and $520,000 from her book, Melania.
Beyond merchandise, Trump's disclosure reveals 21,285 share trades during 2025. One notable holding was Nvidia, the chipmaker that last October became the first publicly-traded firm valued at $5tn. Nvidia, long at the centre of US-China tensions over trade and national security, agreed with the White House last summer to invest billions in US chip manufacturing, sending its share price soaring. Then in August, the Trump administration said Nvidia had agreed to pay it 15% of revenue from selling one of its AI chips to China. Later that month, investors acting on behalf of Trump purchased between $5m … the figure is cut off in the disclosure.
The sheer scale of Trump's financial empire – from cryptocurrency to Bibles to share trades – raises inevitable questions about conflicts of interest as he governs from the Oval Office.
