On June 13, Donald Trump presented his 2025 financial statement, revealing an impressive crypto balance: $57.4 million from World Liberty Financial (WLF), his family DeFi platform.
Trump owns 15.75 billion WLF governance tokens.
The profits came from token sales and potential passive income.
WLF raised approximately $550M in public rounds, with a VIP airdrop to key followers.
📊 Context and real potential
Trump's total crypto exceeds $400M, including earnings from meme-coin $TRUMP, crypto ETFs, and a mining operation.
His cryptographic figure eclipsed any other individual source in 2024, even surpassing revenues from his resorts and licenses.
🌍 Why does this matter?
1. Crypto as a presidential strategy: shows that global leaders use digital assets as a tool of power, preferring to circumvent central systems.
2. Ethical precedent: NFT, stablecoins, and memecoins: raises questions about conflicts of interest — can a president benefit from the technology they regulate?
3. The market backs it: WLF raised over $550M, including contributions from Justin Sun, Binance, and a $2B fund from Abu Dhabi.
