Trump Memecoin Investors Have Lost Nearly $4 Billion
Nearly one million investors in President
Donald Trump's $TRUMP memecoin have collectively lost an estimated $3.8
billion, according to new blockchain analysis by crypto analytics firm Nansen.
The report found that 988,905 wallets were holding losses
as of the end of June, representing roughly two-thirds of everyone who
purchased the token since its launch.
A sharp decline
The $TRUMP memecoin was launched three days before
Trump's inauguration in 2025 and quickly surged to a peak price of more than
$75. It has since fallen by nearly 98%, trading at around $1.69.
Despite the decline, recent financial disclosures show
that Trump earned approximately $636 million from the token, accounting for a
significant share of his crypto-related income.
Crypto remains a White House priority
The losses come as the Trump administration continues to
adopt a pro-crypto stance. The US Securities and Exchange Commission has eased
its approach to regulating memecoins and dropped several enforcement actions
against crypto companies.
According to the White House, the administration remains
committed to making the United States a global hub for cryptocurrency
innovation.
