Recent findings from a cryptocurrency analytics firm reveal that retail investors in Trump’s memecoin have generally incurred losses, while more experienced traders managed better outcomes.
Data shows nearly one million individuals who invested in the memecoin linked to President Trump experienced financial setbacks by the end of June. The cumulative loss reached $3.81 billion, as reported by Nansen, the analytics firm conducting the evaluation.
This evaluation coincided with the release of Mr. Trump’s financial disclosure, which indicated he secured a $636 million profit from the same cryptocurrency venture. This profit is part of at least $2.2 billion Mr. Trump amassed through various business activities in 2025.
Mr. Trump benefitted regardless of his memecoin’s market value fluctuations. His earnings increased whenever there were trades involving the tokens. He continually encouraged his followers to trade, using his Truth Social platform to advocate for the coin.
Having once viewed cryptocurrencies skeptically, Mr. Trump changed his stance in 2024. During his presidential campaign, he and his sons established a cryptocurrency company named World Liberty Financial. They launched a coin known as $WLFI, which also experienced a significant decline.
Just before his inauguration, he introduced another investment opportunity, the $TRUMP memecoin. This memecoin, characterized by its novel nature, demonstrated minimal practical application.
