WASHINGTON, United States: Steve Witkoff’s crypto income reached nearly USD 107 million in 2025 through a holding company linked to World Liberty Financial, according to recent financial disclosures.
Witkoff, President Donald Trump’s special envoy, co-founded the cryptocurrency venture with Trump and members of their families. The holding company previously owned Witkoff’s interest in the business.
However, the disclosure does not specify how much of the reported USD 107 million came directly from World Liberty Financial or its underlying crypto assets.
Witkoff has served as one of Trump’s senior negotiators on conflicts involving the Middle East and Ukraine. He was previously listed as a “co-founder emeritus” of World Liberty Financial.
