Story Highlights
  • Nearly one million TRUMP memecoin investors collectively lost over $3.81 billion after the token collapsed.

  • Trump reported more than $1.4 billion in crypto income through memecoin and blockchain ventures.

  • TRUMP token has crashed 97% from its $75 peak, wiping out billions in investor wealth.

Nearly one million investors who bought Donald Trump’s official TRUMP memecoin have now lost a combined $3.81 billion, making it one of the biggest retail losses in recent crypto history. Meanwhile, Donald Trump himself reported earning more than $1.4 billion from his family’s crypto businesses during 2025. 

This has raised concerns among investors as retail buyers suffered billions in losses while the project founders earned billions.

Nearly Two Out of Three Investors Lost Money In Trump Coin

According to a report from blockchain , around 988,905 investors who purchased the TRUMP memecoin were in a loss by the end of June 2026.

Together, these investors have lost around $3.81 billion, including both realized losses and paper losses from people still holding the token.

Nansen found that nearly two out of every three buyers ended up losing money after the token’s early rally quickly faded.

As of now, the TRUMP token trades around $1.69, down nearly 97% from its all-time high of $75, reached shortly after its launch.

Early Traders Made Billions While Retail Investors Paid The Price

According to Nansen, the project heavily favored early buyers.

Around 500,000 crypto wallets reportedly made nearly $4 billion in profits by purchasing the token early and selling before the price collapsed.

Meanwhile, nearly one million other wallets absorbed most of the losses after entering the market later, once the hype had already spread across social media.

As the , “a small number of early buyers captured enormous gains while the broad retail majority absorbed the losses.”

Trump’s Crypto Income Crossed $1.4 Billion

While investors watched the token collapse, Trump’s latest financial disclosure showed that his crypto ventures generated more than $1.43 billion in income during 2025.

The filing includes around $635 million from the TRUMP memecoin through Celebration Cards LLC, along with more than $500 million earned from World Liberty Financial, the crypto company launched by his family.

THE BIGGEST ANNOUNCEMENT IN NEWSLETTER HISTORY, folks! I am writing the FULL article on Donald's 900-page disclosure — every scheme, every dollar, every "coincidence" — and I'm explaining ALL of it so even the hedge fund Super Geniuses can follow along!

Overall, Trump’s business ventures generated at least $2.2 billion last year, with crypto becoming one of his biggest income sources.

World Liberty Investors Also Faced Losses

The losses were not limited to the TRUMP token.

Other Trump-linked crypto projects, including WLFI, ABTC, and MELANIA, have also suffered massive price declines, with some falling more than 90% from their highs.

Although Trump reportedly earned around $799 million from the project, the WLFI token now trades roughly 82% below its peak.

The White House has denied any conflict of interest, saying Trump’s businesses are held in a trust managed by his sons and that the President is not involved in his personal financial operations.

AI Capital Expenditure Faces a Dilemma: Accelerating Puts Pressure on Cash Flow, Slowing Down Undermines the Growth Narrative

Nomura Securities believes that the AI investment narrative is mired in an internal contradiction: if hyperscale cloud providers accelerate capital expenditures, their free cash flow will continue to be drained, raising doubts about the sustainability of financing; if they slow down, it would indicate a loss of confidence in AI demand and profitability expectations. Both paths lead to sell-offs. The crowded long positions accumulated during the AI agent boom in September have triggered large-scale stop-losses under negative catalysts, spreading to US Treasury bonds, exchange rates, and commodity markets, resulting in systemic deleveraging.

AI trading collapse: Will Anthropic postpone its "Super IPO"? The "scheduled listing date" in mid-November is approaching.

The time window is extremely tight—according to SEC regulations, the S-1 filing must be submitted by next week at the latest, and prediction markets estimate the probability of a listing within the year at around 80%. The sell-off in the AI sector has cast a shadow over the listing prospects, and the previous plan to go public in September has already fallen through. Several market participants say that Anthropic may face pressure to delay its listing, but some analysts point out that the company's urgent need for capital may drive it to stick to the original plan.
