Shock in Trump-Themed Cryptocurrencies: Investors Go Bust While He Earns $1.4 Billion
While cryptocurrencies associated with Donald Trump have cost investors billions of dollars, it has been revealed that the U.S. President has earned over $1.4 billion from this process.
Data shared by blockchain analytics firm Nansen shows that TRUMP meme coin investors are down a total of $3.81 billion. Since its launch in January 2025, two-thirds of the approximately 1.48 million wallets that purchased this asset—meaning 988,905 wallets—are currently valued below their cost basis. It is observed that the minority group in profit consists of those who bought in the first hours of the asset’s release, when the price was still below $1.
TRUMP price reached a historic peak by approaching the $75 level just two days after its launch. However, at the current point, the price has plummeted by approximately 96 percent from its peak, dropping to around $1.79. With this sharp decline, the asset’s market cap has also melted from $15 billion to $425 million.
Sharp Decline in TRUMP Price and Market Cap
The downward trend across the general cryptocurrency market has also deeply affected Trump-themed assets. Bitcoin (BTC) price has lost approximately 50 percent of its value since its record of over $126,000 in October. Reaffirming his support for the crypto world through statements from the podium, Trump continues to defend the income he derives from his commercial ties. Trump states that he has handed over the daily control of his companies to his sons and that the revenues generated are legal.
A similar picture prevails in the World Liberty Financial (WLFI) project, in which the Trump family has a partnership. After the pre-sale phase, WLFI, which began trading on the secondary market, fell more than 80 percent from its peak of $0.33 to the $0.056 level. According to Nansen data, 85 percent of investors who bought from the secondary market are currently waiting at a loss. In this ecosystem, where a total volume of $71 billion has circulated, it is understood that the vast majority of profits are concentrated in just a small group that entered during the very early period.
