Trump Memecoin Loses Billions for Retail Investors as President Reports Mega Earnings

Data from blockchain analytics firm Nansen shows about 66% of the 1.48 million wallets that bought the $TRUMP memecoin—roughly 988,905—had lost money by the end of June, totaling about $3.81 billion in losses, even as President Trump disclosed $636 million in earnings from the token.

Trump Family Profits Billions From Crypto While Retail Investors Lose Billions, Reuters Says

Reuters’s analysis, cited by Gizmodo/io9, finds the Trump family generated at least $2.3 billion in profit from Trump‑linked crypto since the presidency, while investors lost about $2.3 billion; most profits reportedly came from WLFI, World Liberty Financial’s governance token, with the Trumps taking a 75% cut and holding about 60% of the company, though WLFI says it is not an investment product. The token has fallen from roughly $0.31 to $0.05, and other Trump‑linked assets like the $Trump memecoin are noted. The piece also touches on investor types, legal disputes, and backing from entities such as AI Financial. Overall, it presents a symmetrical but troubling portrait of meme‑crypto where a political family profits while ordinary investors incur losses.
