57 Million USD in Cryptocurrency and Still Ongoing: The Connection to Trump's Free World

In a financial disclosure filed on June 13 with the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, U.S. President Donald Trump reported that he earned $57.4 million from World Liberty Financial—a cryptocurrency venture he launched with his sons, Donald Jr. and Eric. The form also revealed that he holds 15.75 billion governance tokens in the project, giving him direct voting rights on the project's direction. Trump's Unexpected Fund According to the revelation, Trump's income stream is "$57,437,927". It is not specified whether he sold tokens, earned staking rewards, or used some other method. But this figure is very large. It implies that he has withdrawn part of his stake or an internal valuation has driven the token's value very high.

Large Fundraising Round According to reports from March, World Liberty Financial raised $200 million in its first token sale. The second round raised $250 million. Thus, the total amount raised reached approximately $550 million. The project was launched in September 2024. This project aims to provide DeFi services and dollar-pegged stablecoins as an alternative to banks. Large Investors Participate Tron founder Justin Sun invested 30 million dollars in November 2024. He received 2 billion WLFI tokens at an initial price of 0.015 dollars per token. Web3Port added 10 million dollars in January 2025, and Oddiyana Ventures also participated. They did not specify the amount that the fund invested. These buy greetings indicate that major players believe the project can grow. Ethical Questions Are Arising Based on the ethics profile, Trump still has a role in related parent companies such as CIC Digital LLC and CIC Ventures LLC. However, the income from these companies is very small or none. The form has his confirmation that everything is "true, complete, and accurate to the best of [his] knowledge". The Office of Government Ethics will review. The disclosure also notes his previous digital projects. Previously, he reported income from NFT projects such as Trump Digital Trading Cards. This time, no new NFT income has emerged. Instead, all attention is focused on World Liberty Financial. That project is now the largest part of his cryptocurrency footprint. Critics will point out the potential conflicts of interest. An incumbent president benefiting from voting rights tokens in a financial project raises many eyebrows. Supporters might argue that it is just smart investing. Regardless of the circumstances, the numbers are now public. And the public can see that Donald Trump has made a huge profit from a startup that he helped launch—and that he still holds control over the future of that company.
