Envoy Steve Witkoff reports $107M from the company that held his World Liberty stake
Witkoff, the president’s special envoy, reported $107 million in 2025 income from the holding company that owned his stake in World Liberty Financial, the Trump family’s crypto venture. Bloomberg reported the figure on September 8, 2026.
What happened
Steve Witkoff is a New York real estate developer and a longtime friend of Trump’s. He co-founded World Liberty Financial with the Trump family in 2024, and his son Zach runs it. Trump named him special envoy, a diplomatic post in which he has negotiated for the United States in the Middle East and with Russia.
On September 8, 2026, Bloomberg reported, from a disclosure obtained by a government watchdog, that Witkoff had reported about $107 million in 2025 income from a holding company he owns, up from $34 million in 2024. That company held his World Liberty stake.
In May 2025 World Liberty said Witkoff was divesting from the firm and had no financial interest in its deals. The White House later said he had fully divested. The holding company also owns resorts, golf and hotel operations and residential real estate ventures, and the filing did not break out income by asset, so how much of the $107 million came from World Liberty is not known.
Trump’s own filing reported about $526 million from World Liberty token sales for 2025. The $107 million is Witkoff’s income, not the Trump family’s, so it is logged here and not counted in the family’s take.
Who benefited
Witkoff, a serving U.S. envoy, reported $107 million for the year he served, more than three times his 2024 figure. The income came from a company that held his stake in the president’s family venture.
Who wanted something
No counterparty is named in the record, and the filing does not break out income by asset. To the extent the income came from World Liberty, it reflects token buyers who, as other entries show, included foreign investors and parties with business before U.S. regulators.
Who lost out
Witkoff negotiates for the United States abroad while a company he owns, which held a stake in a venture funded by foreign investors, paid him $107 million. The public filing does not show where the money came from.
Why it matters
A sitting envoy reported nine-figure income in the year he served, from a company tied to the president’s family business. The disclosure does not say how much was World Liberty and how much was real estate, and the divestment the White House describes cannot be checked against it.
