Summary
$257 million in 2025 income was disclosed by Steve Witkoff, giving Trump’s special envoy an unusually large haul for a government official.
$120 million came from selling a stake in his family’s real estate business, while nearly $107 million flowed through Witkoff Holdings from ventures that included the Trump family’s crypto business.
That filing did not break out how much Witkoff earned from World Liberty Financial, even though he kept a stake in the company until divesting early this year; the holdings total included more than $68 million in cash and about $38 million in cryptocurrency.
World Liberty, founded by the Witkoff and Trump families before the 2024 election, has already generated far larger proceeds for Trump, whose June disclosure showed nearly $800 million from the firm and about $1.4 billion from family crypto businesses overall.
The White House’s release of the still-revisable July filing adds to scrutiny over potential conflicts tied to World Liberty and senior Trump officials’ private business interests.
