(Adds details from filing)

June 13 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump reported
hundreds of millions of dollars in income from crypto, golf
clubs and licensing ventures in a public financial disclosure
report released on Friday that provided a glimpse of the vast
business holdings of America's billionaire president.
The annual financial disclosure form, which appeared to
cover the 2024 calendar year, shows the president's push into
crypto added substantially to his wealth but he also reported
large fees from developments and revenues from his other
businesses.
While Trump has said he has put his businesses into a
trust managed by his children, the disclosures show how income
from them still ultimately accrue to the president - something
that has opened him to conflicts of interest. Some of his
businesses in areas such as crypto, for example, benefit from
U.S. policy shifts under him and have become a source of
criticism.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request
for comment.
The financial disclosure was signed on June 13 and did not
state the time period it covered. The details of the
cryptocurrency listings, as well as other information in the
disclosure, suggest it was through the end of December 2024,
which would exclude most of the money raised by the family's
cryptocurrency ventures.
Given the speed at which the Trump family has made deals
during his ascent to the presidency, the filing is already a
time capsule of sorts, capturing a period when they were just
starting to get into crypto but were largely still in the world
of real estate deals and golf clubs.
A meme coin released earlier this year by the president
-
$TRUMP
- alone has earned an estimated $320 million in fees,
though it's not publicly known how that amount has been divided
between a Trump-controlled entity and its partners.
In addition to the meme coin fees, the Trump family has
raked in more than $400 million from World Liberty Financial
, a decentralized finance company. The Trump family is
involved, also, with a bitcoin mining operation and digital
asset exchange-traded funds.
In the disclosures, Trump reported $57.35 million from
token sales at World Liberty. He also reported holding 15.75
billion governance tokens in the venture.
The wealth of the Republican businessman-turned-politician
ranges from crypto to real estate, and a large part on paper is
tied up in his stake in Trump Media & Technology Group ( DJT ),
owner of social media platform Truth Social.
The disclosure showed income from various assets including
Trump's properties in Florida. Trump's three golf-focused
resorts in the state - Jupiter, Doral and West Palm Beach - plus
his nearby private members' club at Mar-a-Lago generated at
least $217.7 million in income, according to the filing.
The disclosure also listed income of $5 million in license
fees from a development in Vietnam.
Trump collected royalty money, also, from a variety of deals
- $1.3 million from the Greenwood Bible (its website describes
it as "the only Bible officially endorsed by Lee Greenwood and
President Trump"); $2.8 million from Trump Watches, and $2.5
million from Trump Sneakers and Fragrances.
Trump listed $1.16 million in income from his NFTs -
digital trading cards in his likeness while First Lady Melania
Trump earned around $216,700 from license fees her own NFT
collection.
