-

According to the disclosure, Trump owns 15.75 billion governance tokens in World Liberty Financial. These tokens give him voting rights in the protocol.

The document does not say whether this income came from selling tokens, staking, or other activity. It only shows the amount without further explanation.

The disclosure does not include the market value of the tokens. However, the reported figure suggests Trump either sold part of the tokens or the project assigned them a high internal value for reporting purposes.

World Liberty Financial Raised $550M Through Token Sales

World Liberty Financial launched in September 2024. It focuses on DeFi and stablecoins, mainly offering dollar-pegged assets. The project says it wants to create an alternative to traditional financial systems using on-chain solutions.

By March 2025, World Liberty Financial had raised $550 million in total. The first public token sale brought in $200 million, and the second raised another $250 million, according to the company’s own update.

Several large investors backed the project. Justin Sun, the founder of Tron, invested $30 million in November 2024, receiving 2 billion WLFI tokens at a rate of $0.015 per token.

In January 2025, Web3Port added $10 million. Oddiyana Ventures also invested but did not say how much.

Trump Holds 15.75B WLFI Tokens With Voting Rights

Trump’s stake in World Liberty Financial includes 15.75 billion WLFI governance tokens.

These tokens allow him to vote on protocol decisions. The filing does not mention if he has used these rights. It also does not explain how or when he got the tokens.

Trump’s sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, are also involved in the crypto project, according to earlier public statements. The filing confirms their ongoing role but gives no financial details about them.

The document includes the required declaration that the details are “true, complete, and correct to the best of [his] knowledge.” The Office of Government Ethics will now review the report.

No New NFT Income But Digital Asset Holdings Remain

Trump’s previous filings showed income from NFT projects like the Trump Digital Trading Cards, but the new form does not list any earnings from NFTs in 2025.

Those earlier projects featured collectible digital cards tied to blockchain tokens.

Trump still holds roles in CIC Digital LLC and CIC Ventures LLC, both linked to digital asset and tech ventures. The filing lists these companies but shows little or no income from them during the reporting period.

This new report adds to Trump’s record of involvement in crypto, especially in governance token projects like World Liberty Financial.
