Cryptocurrencies
According to the report, Trump reported having received more than US$500 million (R$2.5 billion) in 10 transactions from World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency company founded by him and his sons.
Another US$635 million (R$3.3 billion) came from operations with $TRUMP, a memecoin inspired by memes and internet phenomena.
Another US$196 million (around R$1 billion) came from a "capital contribution from new members of Stablecoin Holdco LLC", from in which Trump holds a 38.25% stake, according to the "Financial Times".
According to Reuters analysis, digital assets have come to represent Trump's main source of income and have benefited from policies adopted during his government.
Shares and investment funds
The report also shows that Trump's investment portfolio brings together shares, investment funds, ETFs and public and private debt securities.
A private debt security works like a loan. Instead of taking money from a bank, the company raises funds from investors and promises to return the amount in the future, with interest.
ETFs work like a "basket" of investments. Instead of buying shares in dozens of companies separately, the investor purchases an ETF that replicates the performance of this set of securities.
In addition, the "Financial Times" highlighted that the report records several stock trades carried out on behalf of Trump at times considered "sensitive" by the market.
The largest purchase of Nvidia shares, for example, occurred on August 18, a week after Trump stated that the manufacturer could sell chips to China if it allocated part of the revenue to the American government.
The largest purchase of Intel shares took place on the same day and preceded by a week the White House's announcement about the acquisition of a 10% stake in the chipmaker.
According to the British newspaper, more than 21 thousand trades were recorded in 2025 through eight investment accounts linked to Trump.
Real estate projects
Trump also declared more than US$50 million (R$259.8 million) in licensing fees related to real estate projects abroad, in countries such as Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Romania, Philippines, Oman, India and Vietnam.
Also according to the "Financial Times", a Trump Organization venture in Scotland, which brings together a golf course and a hotel, generated around 24 million pounds in revenue, equivalent to US$31.8 million (R$165.2 million).
See other venture revenues:
Mar-a-Lago Resort: US$ 77.5 million (R$ 402.6 million);
golf course in Bedminster: US$ 37.6 million (R$ 195.3 million);
golf course in Jupiter, Florida: US$ 31.6 million (R$ 164.2 million);
golf course in Virginia: US$ 24.9 million (R$ 129.4 million).
More than R$ 1 million in gifts
The "Financial Times" also identified more than US$350,000 (R$1.8 million) in gifts and travel reimbursements received by the president.
See some of the gifts received by the American president:
10 tickets to the Super Bowl, with a combined value of US$50,000 (R$259.8 thousand);
15 tickets to the Daytona 500, worth US$ 7,500 (R$ 38.9 thousand);
