Trump team dumps $500M in TRUMP tokens, retains 85% supply

Source Cryptopolitan

The Trump team has offloaded $500 million worth of their newly launched TRUMP tokens, holding on to 85% of the total supply, according to blockchain analyst Conor.

“From what I can see on-chain, Trump has sold approximately $500 million of tokens so far,” Conor said, adding that every single circulating token has either been sold or provided as liquidity.

Data shows $20 million worth of TRUMP tokens were sent to Bybit in just seven hours, while most of the USDC reserves tied to these transactions were funneled into liquidity provision on Meteora.

How TRUMP tokens are controlled and distributed

This aggressive token dump comes hot on the heels of the TRUMP token’s debut, which the self-proclaimed “crypto president” Donald Trump announced on Truth Social late Friday. Trump described the memecoin as a celebration of “WINNING” the election and his upcoming inauguration.

Since its launch, TRUMP’s price has surged by over 11,000%, hitting an all-time high of $35 just an hour earlier. It has since corrected to $26 as of press time. It has a market capitalization of nearly $6 billion, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

The token was developed on the Solana blockchain and launched with an initial supply of 200 million coins. However, the overall supply is planned to expand to 1 billion over the next three years, as stated on its official website.

Right now, 80% of the tokens remain locked away under the control of two entities: CIC Digital LLC, a Trump Organization affiliate, and Fight Fight Fight LLC, a Delaware-based company registered on January 7.

Both companies will receive undisclosed revenues from the token’s trading activity. Conor pointed out that the terms “public distribution” and “liquidity” listed on the TRUMP website appear to mean “we’re going to sell.”

The token’s website also comes with a disclaimer that reads:

“Trump Memes are intended to function as an expression of support for, and engagement with, the ideals and beliefs embodied by the symbol “$TRUMP” and the associated artwork, and are not intended to be, or to be the subject of, an investment opportunity, investment contract, or security of any type. GetTrumpMemes.com is not political and has nothing to do with any political campaign or any political office or governmental agency.”

Meanwhile, Moonshot said that in the last 12 hours, they were featured on the website as THE way to buy the token. They have since processed nearly $400m in volume, crushed fiat onramp records by orders of magnitude, and brought over 200,000 new people on-chain.

Meteora, Moonshot, Wintermute, and Jupiter may have coordinated with the TRUMP token team in advance.

Prioritize filling the $27,000 gap and even try higher.

Bitcoin briefly loses 2025 gains as crypto plunges over the weekend.Bitcoin experienced a sharp decline this weekend, briefly erasing its 2025 gains and dipping below its year-opening value of $93,507. The cryptocurrency fell to a low of $93,029 on Sunday, representing a 25% drop from its all-time high in October. Although it has rebounded slightly to around $94,209, the pressures on the market remain significant. The downturn occurred despite the reopening of the U.S. government on Thursday, which many had hoped would provide essential support for crypto markets. This year initially appeared promising for cryptocurrencies, particularly after the inauguration of President Donald Trump, who has established the most pro-crypto administration thus far. However, ongoing political tensions—including Trump's tariff strategies and the recent government shutdown, lasting a historic 43 days—have contributed to several rapid price pullbacks for Bitcoin throughout the year. Market dynamics are also being influenced by Bitcoin whales—investors holding large amounts of Bitcoin—who have been offloading portions of their assets, consequently stalling price rallies even as positive regulatory developments emerge. Despite these sell-offs, analysts from Glassnode argue that this behavior aligns with typical patterns seen among long-term investors during the concluding stages of bull markets, suggesting it is not indicative of a mass exodus. Notably, Bitcoin is not alone in its struggles, as Ethereum and Solana have also recorded declines of 7.95% and 28.3%, respectively, since the start of the year, while numerous altcoins have faced even steeper losses. Looking ahead, questions linger regarding the viability of the four-year cycle thesis, particularly given the increasing institutional support and regulatory frameworks now in place in the crypto landscape. Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise, remains optimistic, suggesting a potential Bitcoin resurgence in 2026 driven by the “debasement trade” thesis and a broader trend toward increased adoption of stablecoins, tokenization, and decentralized finance. Hougan emphasized the soundness of the underlying fundamentals, pointing to a positive outlook for the sector in the longer term.
