Donald Trump earned more from cryptocurrency ventures than from real estate in 2025, according to financial filings cited by Cointelegraph. Memecoin sales and royalties were his largest reported source of income for the year.
The figures highlight the growing financial significance of crypto within Trump’s wider business interests. His memecoin-related earnings exceeded the combined income generated by all of his golf clubs.
