President Donald Trump said on Wednesday he is not involved in the day-to-day management of his personal finances, emphasizing that outside funds handle his money. His remarks came a day after his annual financial disclosure for 2025 with the U.S. Office of Government Ethics showed substantial receipts tied to the family's crypto ventures.
Speaking to reporters at Joint Base Andrews as he prepared to fly to North Dakota, the president stated, "I don’t get involved ... We have funds that run my money." He added that many people are benefiting because the stock market has been rising, saying, "You know why I’m profiting? Because the stock market’s going up, everybody’s profiting."
The disclosure filed with the ethics office reported total income in excess of $1.4 billion from his family's crypto-related activities. Within that figure, the filings show that businesses controlled by the president received almost $800 million from World Liberty Financial, a crypto venture co-founded by Trump and his sons.
The reported receipts from World Liberty Financial were detailed into two principal components. More than $520 million came from the sale of crypto tokens, while in excess of $250 million derived from the sale of interests in the World Liberty business. The disclosure further notes that the income is divided among family members.
The president framed the gains in general market terms rather than as the result of any hands-on management, reiterating that professional funds oversee his assets. Beyond his statements at Joint Base Andrews and the figures contained in the 2025 disclosure, the filing itself is the source of the reported amounts and the characterization of their origin in the World Liberty venture.
This disclosure was submitted to the U.S. Office of Government Ethics as part of the usual annual reporting process for 2025. The document attributes the nearly $800 million in receipts to World Liberty Financial and breaks down the sources as token sales and sales of interests in the business, with the president sharing the income with family members.
