The losses, which total $3.81 billion through the end of June, have sparked sharp criticism from some supporters who say the president leveraged his public trust for personal financial gain.<\/p>\n<p>The data shows that 988,905 buyers of the TRUMP token \u2014 roughly two out of every three buyers \u2014 are currently in the red. The coin was trading at $1.76 on July 3, representing a 97% plunge from its peak price of $75.35. The assessment follows the release of Trump\u2019s annual financial disclosure, which revealed he secured $636 million from the token alongside a broader $2.2 billion haul from his various business ventures in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>According to Nansen, the structure of the venture allowed President Trump to profit from <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/trump-memecoin-ignites-crypto-frenzy-searches-for-buy-crypto-surge-376\/\">transaction fees<\/a> regardless of whether the token\u2019s value rose or fell. Trump frequently used his Truth Social account to urge followers to purchase the coin after its launch three days before his inauguration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is leveraging the power of being president to launch currencies, when he seems trustworthy in the public\u2019s eye,\u201d said Nicholas Pinto, a frequent <span>crypto<\/span> trader and 2024 Trump voter who reported losing roughly half of his $500,000 investment in the token. \u201cIt is almost a legal scam.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The White House rejected allegations that the<a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/trump-defends-1-4-billion-crypto-windfall\/\"> president profited<\/a> at his supporters\u2019 expense.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Trump proudly made the United States the <span>crypto<\/span> capital of the world,\u201d White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly said. \u201cAll actions by President Trump and his administration are taken in the best interest of the American people.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Broader Digital Currency Ventures<\/h2>\n<p>The TRUMP token is one of several digital currency initiatives tied to the president. His family is also widely linked to World Liberty Financial, a <span>crypto<\/span> startup that sells a token called WLFI. Trump\u2019s financial disclosure showed he generated $799 million from World Liberty last year, boosted by a major early 2025 investment from the United Arab Emirates, which purchased nearly half the company.<\/p>\n<p>World Liberty spokesman David Wachsman reportedly attributed the 82% decline of the WLFI token since September to broader market declines affecting major <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/a-quick-introduction-to-crypto\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cryptocurrencies<\/a> like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/price\/bitcoin\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bitcoin<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo one can control the markets,\u201d Wachsman said, adding that the company stands behind the token\u2019s growing utility.<\/p>\n<p>While the majority of retail buyers experienced losses, Nansen noted that approximately 500,000 early and sophisticated buyers captured a combined $4 billion in profits by selling before the market crashed.<\/p>\n<p>Legal experts say federal regulatory changes may insulate the president from immediate government action, noting that the Securities and Exchange Commission announced in February 2025 that it would halt scrutiny of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/what-is-a-memecoin\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">memecoin<\/a> transactions. Additionally, the TRUMP <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/what-is-a-memecoin\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">memecoin<\/a> website featured a disclaimer stating the tokens were intended as an \u201cexpression of support\u201d rather than an investment opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>However, Stephen Gillers, a professor of legal ethics at New York University, said the disclosures might not completely block future civil litigation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTrump back when he was a real estate developer boasted that he plays \u2018to people\u2019s fantasies,&#8217;\u201d Gillers said. \u201cHere he seems to have encouraged supporters to invest with the expectation they could anticipate riches \u2014 even as he himself was cashing out.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/nyt-donald-trumps-trump-token-leaves-nearly-a-million-buyers-down-3-81b\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Bitcoin News ) Key Takeaways President Donald Trump generated a $636 million payout from his TRUMP memecoin while 988,905 buyers lost $3.81 billion.
