Investors lose 3.8 billion dollars in TRUMP memecoin as President reports 636 million in earnings
Nearly one million investors lost 3.8 billion dollars in the TRUMP memecoin while President Trump reported 636 million dollars in personal earnings from the token.
1. Financial Losses for Investors
An analysis by the cryptocurrency analytics firm Nansen indicates that nearly 1 million people have collectively lost $3.8 billion after investing in the $TRUMP memecoin. Data derived from public blockchain transactions shows that approximately 988,905 accounts experienced losses, representing about two-thirds of all individuals who purchased the token. As of early July 2026, the value of the $TRUMP coin had fallen to $1.69, marking a decline of nearly 98% from its peak price of $75.35.
2. President Trump’s Earnings
President Donald Trump introduced the $TRUMP memecoin three days prior to his 2025 inauguration. Financial disclosures reveal that the President earned $636 million from the token, a figure that constitutes nearly half of the $1.4 billion he reportedly generated from the cryptocurrency industry over the past year. In addition to the $TRUMP coin, the President co-founded a crypto startup called World Liberty Financial with his sons, which issued the $WLFI coin, an asset that has also seen a significant decrease in value.
3. Regulatory Environment
Under the current administration, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has adopted a policy of not regulating memecoins as securities and has dismissed several lawsuits previously filed against cryptocurrency companies. A White House spokesperson stated that the President’s objective has been to establish the United States as a global leader in the cryptocurrency sector.
