President Donald Trump directed a substantial portion of the proceeds from his crypto ventures into traditional investments such as stocks and bonds.
Financial disclosures filed with the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, as reported by Reuters on Monday, show Trump earned more than $1.4 billion in 2025 from crypto-related ventures.
The President held 15.75 billion World Liberty Financial governance tokens, valued at more than $50 million.
Trump-affiliated entities holding at least $160 million worth of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH), plus up to $6 million in other cryptocurrencies including the Trump (CRYPTO: TRUMP) meme coin.
According to a Reuters analysis, Trump’s holdings in stocks and bonds increased at least fourfold over the past year, rising to an estimated $703 million to $2.6 billion by the end of 2025 from $225 million to $608 million a year earlier.
The filings disclose asset values in ranges rather than exact figures, making it unclear how much of the crypto proceeds were allocated to traditional investments.
Timothy Massad, former CFTC chairman, said the disclosures indicate Trump is monetizing crypto ventures for wealth creation; while moving proceeds into less volatile investments such as stocks and bonds to preserve capital.
The White House said Trump’s assets are managed through fully discretionary accounts overseen by independent third-party financial institutions.
Meanwhile, a spokesperson for World Liberty Financial said the company is focused on the long term and believes digital asset technology will underpin the future of financial services.
