By his own account.

Announced by Eric Trump in August, the family’s crypto company debuted in a livestream on X with Trump, his sons and business partners, seven weeks before the election. It sells a governance token, WLFI, and later a stablecoin, USD1. Barron Trump, then 18, was named its “DeFi visionary.”

The crypto entrepreneur announced the purchase three weeks after the election. The Securities and Exchange Commission was then pursuing a civil fraud case against him.

ABC agreed to pay $15 million as a “charitable contribution” toward a future presidential foundation and museum, plus $1 million in legal fees, over George Stephanopoulos’s on-air statement that Trump was “found liable for rape.” The jury had found him liable for sexual abuse.

Four days before the inauguration, Aryam Investment, backed by Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed, the UAE’s national security adviser, agreed to pay $500 million for 49 percent of the company. Eric Trump signed the deal. The buyers paid up front, “with $187 million going to Trump family entities and at least $31 million going to Witkoff family entities.” The Wall Street Journal reported the deal a year later.

Trump launched a meme coin. Two companies, one of them a Trump Organization affiliate, “collectively own 80%” of the supply, and CIC Digital and its partner “will receive trading revenue,” according to the coin’s website. The token’s value “initially soared to $15 billion,” then lost most of it within days.

He did not divest or place his assets in a blind trust, as recent predecessors did. They sit in a revocable trust overseen by Donald Trump Jr., which he can amend or revoke.

Meta agreed to pay $25 million over his suspension after January 6, most of it toward the library. It also faced a Federal Trade Commission antitrust case headed for an April trial that could force it to unwind its purchases of Instagram and WhatsApp.

X agreed to pay about $10 million, according to reports citing one person familiar with it; the disclosure lists $8 million. Its owner, Elon Musk, was running the administration’s cost-cutting effort. “It’s resolved,” Trump’s lawyer said.

The Securities and Exchange Commission and Sun asked a court to pause the fraud case while they considered a resolution. It was settled in March 2026 with a $10 million penalty paid by his company.

A memo from Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche shut down the National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team.

At a crypto conference in Dubai, World Liberty’s Zach Witkoff announced, “We are excited to announce today that USD1 has been selected as the official stablecoin to close MGX’s $2 billion investment in Binance.” MGX is chaired by the same UAE security chief behind the World Liberty stake. World Liberty earns the interest on its stablecoin’s reserves, which Fortune estimated “could net as much as $80 million over a year.”

Two weeks later the White House announced a 5-gigawatt AI campus in Abu Dhabi to be built by G42, the state AI firm the same official heads. In November the administration authorized G42 to buy advanced Nvidia chips. No reporting shows the investments and the approvals were linked: “There’s no evidence that the chips are related to the two billion in World Liberty crypto,” 60 Minutes reported.

The Defense Department accepted a Boeing 747-8 from the government of Qatar to fly as Air Force One; Trump has said he wants to keep it in his presidential library after leaving office. “Only a FOOL would not accept this gift on behalf of our country,” he posted.

Trump attended a dinner at his Virginia golf club for the 220 largest holders of his meme coin, who had spent “a combined $148 million on the token for the chance to be there.” The top holder was Justin Sun. The White House said, “The president is attending it in his personal time. It is not a White House dinner.”

The Securities and Exchange Commission dismissed its civil case against Binance and its founder, Changpeng Zhao, “in the exercise of its discretion and as a policy matter.”

Paramount agreed to pay $16 million toward the library over a “60 Minutes” interview with Kamala Harris; the unedited footage had confirmed she was accurately quoted. FCC Chair Brendan Carr said the settlement had “nothing to do with the work that we’re doing at the FCC.” Commissioner Anna Gomez called it “a desperate move to appease the Administration and secure regulatory approval of a major transaction currently pending before the FCC.” The FCC approved the Skydance merger on July 24.

YouTube agreed to pay $24.5 million: $22 million to the Trust for the National Mall for his White House ballroom. Weeks earlier Google’s chief executive had thanked the administration for its “constructive dialogue” after a ruling in the Justice Department’s search case against Google. Trump posted, “This MASSIVE victory proves Big Tech censorship has consequences.”

Dar Global, a developer tied to the Saudi government, announced a roughly $1 billion Trump Plaza in Jeddah. Its chief executive later said its projects with the Trump Organization are valued together at around $10 billion.

Trump signed a “full and unconditional pardon” for Changpeng Zhao, who had pleaded guilty to anti-money-laundering violations; Binance had paid more than $4.3 billion. That spring, an Emirati fund’s $2 billion investment in Binance had been closed in World Liberty’s stablecoin. Asked about it on 60 Minutes, Trump said, “I don’t know who he is.” Zhao: “There’s no deal, there has never been any discussions.”

The Pentagon announced a $620 million loan commitment to Vulcan Elements, a rare-earth magnet startup that 1789 Capital, the firm where Donald Trump Jr. is a partner, had invested in three months earlier. ProPublica later reported that the White House initiated it: “The call came from the White House: We have to get this done,” a person involved said.

The Office of Government Ethics released the 927-page filing. Because many amounts are ranges, NBC noted, “it is impossible to state exactly how much Trump earned last year.” The Trump Organization: it “demonstrates a level of financial transparency unmatched in presidential history.”

Asked about the windfall as he boarded the Qatari jet on its first flight as Air Force One, Trump said he does not “get involved” in his finances: “I’ve made a lot of money before I became president, and they invest my money, and I don’t talk to them.” He called it “the blind account.”

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, led by a Trump appointee, granted World Liberty Trust Co. preliminary conditional approval for a national trust bank charter. Sen. Elizabeth Warren: “Donald Trump is now the first President in history to own and oversee his own bank.”

The Senate voted 49-50 against advancing the crypto market structure bill, with four Republicans opposed. Democrats wanted stricter enforcement and a requirement for the president to divest crypto holdings; last year’s stablecoin law, the AP noted, “did not extend to Trump or his family.”

The coin’s official site announced a November 22 dinner with Trump at his Virginia club for the coin’s top holders, ranked by their “time-weighted $TRUMP holdings as of Nov 12, 2026, 1 PM Eastern.” ABC News reported that 185 top investors will attend, “the third such gathering since his return to office.” The prizes include an 18-karat gold Trump watch. The White House referred Politico to the host organization, which did not respond.
