$TRUMP Meme Coin: Trump Family's $616M Windfall from $700M Investor Loss

The $TRUMP meme coin generated $616 million for the Trump family from sales, but investors lost over $700 million. The token launched on January 17, 2025, and reached a peak price of $75.35 before collapsing to around $2.38.

Out of one billion tokens created, only 200 million were released to the public market, while 800 million (80%) were retained by two companies linked to the Trump family: CIC Digital LLC and Fight Fight Fight LLC.

The token's value dropped nearly 97% from its peak. The bigger picture shows that Trump family-linked firms have accumulated at least $2.3 billion in profits from various crypto ventures since the 2024 election cycle, with comparable losses suffered by investors across these ventures.
