Trump's memecoin venture, CIC Digital LLC, brought in $636 million, mostly via royalty payments from a deal with Celebration Coins. The company also had at least $60 million in various cryptocurrencies stored in digital wallets. Trump also made nearly $197 million from an equity sale of Stablecoin Holdco.
Outside crypto, Trump's traditional businesses also brought in cash. Mar-a-Lago resort earned $77 million in resort-related revenue, and his Northern Virginia golf club added $25 million.
The 927-page filing includes more than 680 pages of transactions, showing purchases and sales of equities such as Amazon.com Inc., Apple Inc., and Altria Group Inc. Among the stocks most often traded in his portfolio were Nvidia, Microsoft, Netflix, and Exxon Mobil. The document left out over 3,700 deals he made in early 2026, which were separately reported in May. He still has three real estate loans, including mortgages of more than $50 million for Trump Tower and Trump National Doral.
Gifts from friends and sponsors were part of the filing. The president disclosed gifts including 10 World Cup final tickets from FIFA's Gianni Infantino (worth $15,000), 10 US Open tennis tickets from Rolex (worth $25,000), and 10 Super Bowl LIX tickets valued at $50,000.
The president played down his earnings, remarking that he was already rich before taking office. "You know why I'm profiting? Because the stock market's going up," he said at Joint Base Andrews. He also told reporters, "We have funds that run my money."
