President Donald Trump Discloses More Than $50 Million in Bitcoin Held in Cold Storage

President Donald Trump holds more than $50 million in Bitcoin, stored in cold wallets, according to his 2025 annual financial disclosure released by the U.S. Office of Government Ethics. The filing is a detailed federal accounting of the president’s personal crypto position since he took office in January 2025.

In total, Trump reported generating more than $1 billion in crypto-related revenue last year, including $635 million in royalties from his memecoin venture and more than $500 million from token sales associated with World Liberty Financial.

The headline figure of over $50 million sits in a single line of the report. Under the entity CIC Digital LLC, an asset described as a “Cryptocurrency Wallet Virtual Bitcoin Key (held in cold wallet)” carries a valuation of “Over $50,000,000,” the highest bracket the disclosure form permits.

The form does not require a precise number above that threshold, so the true size of the holding could exceed the stated floor. The Bitcoin line reported no income for the period, a result consistent with an asset held rather than sold.

The Bitcoin sits inside The Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust, dated April 7, 2014, of which the president is the sole beneficiary. That structure places the holding within the same trust that controls his stake in Trump Media & Technology Group, the parent of Truth Social. 

The cold-storage designation indicates the private keys are kept offline, a method that removes the asset from internet-connected systems and the custody of a third-party exchange.

Bitcoin is one of several digital assets in the cold wallets tied to CIC Digital LLC. The same entity reports an Ethereum key valued between $5 million and $25 million, a staked Ethereum position through a Coinbase staking agreement that produced $510,808 in validator rewards, a USDC stablecoin holding in the $5 million to $25 million range, and a smaller dollar-denominated wallet. 

Across the two largest asset classes, Bitcoin and Ethereum, the disclosed value runs past $100 million.

Separate disclosures also report that Vice President JD Vance holds Bitcoin valued between $250,000 and $500,000. Vance’s holdings have been previously reported.

A second cluster of crypto holdings appears under entities connected to World Liberty Financial, the decentralized-finance venture that carries the Trump name. 

Those wallets include a separate Bitcoin key valued at “Over $50,000,000,” an Ethereum key in the same top bracket, and positions in other crypto. The World Liberty entries also record large income figures tied to token sales, including more than $236 million in net proceeds distributed by World Liberty Financial LLC and a $150 million income figure on the Ethereum line. 

Trump’s disclosure reports more than $500 million in proceeds from token sales tied to World Liberty Financial, the Trump-linked venture behind the WLFI governance token, with the company’s combined wallet entries summing to roughly $527 million. 

The filing also records a $635,068,835 royalty payment under CIC Digital LLC, linked to a meme-coin licensing agreement with Celebration Coins. A related entity, DTTM Operations LLC, lists 15.75 billion World Liberty governance tokens valued in the top bracket.

The disclosure arrives at a moment when the president’s crypto interests intersect with his administration’s policy agenda. Trump has called himself somewhat of an ally of the digital-asset industry, and his government has moved to establish a federal posture toward reserves and regulation. 

The personal holdings detailed in the filing give the public a direct view of the scale of the assets the president owns in the sector his administration oversees.

A sitting U.S. president now reports holding more than $50 million of Bitcoin in self-custody, in cold storage, in the same manner long advocated by Bitcoin holders who prize control of their own keys. 

What the filing does not reveal is when the Bitcoin was acquired, at what price, or how the holding has changed across the year. The form’s bracket system caps reporting at the $50 million ceiling and offers no window into cost basis or timing. 

It’s important to note that the $635 million royalty figure appears as a single line in the filing (recorded under CIC Digital as a license agreement with Celebration Coins, which the document does not explicitly label a “memecoin”), the “more than $500 million” from World Liberty Financial and the “$1 billion” total are aggregations compiled by Bitcoin Magazine. 

The filing’s single stated token-sales line is $236.25 million, and larger figures were found by summing multiple separate crypto-wallet entries. It’s also worth flagging that several of these amounts are described as gross “proceeds from token sales distributed by World Liberty Financial LLC,” so they don’t necessarily represent net income to Trump himself.
