Analysis Shows Investors in Trump Memecoin Face Potential $3.8 Billion Loss

Nearly 1 million people have collectively lost $3.8 billion after investing in President Donald Trump’s $TRUMP memecoin, according to the cryptocurrency analytics firm Nansen.

The New York Times reports that Nansen’s analysis, relying on blockchain transaction data, revealed that by the end of June, 988,905 accounts had suffered losses linked to the memecoin, indicating that about two-thirds of all $TRUMP investors are affected.

As of Sunday, the $TRUMP token was priced at $1.69, reflecting a dramatic decline of nearly 98% from its peak of $75.35.

The memecoin was introduced by Trump just three days before his inauguration in 2025, following the establishment of the crypto initiative World Liberty Financial alongside his sons. The $WLFI coin has also seen a significant drop in value.

In a recent financial disclosure, the president reported earning $636 million from the $TRUMP memecoin, representing close to half of the $1.4 billion he made in the crypto sector last year.

During Trump’s presidency, the Securities and Exchange Commission determined that memecoins would not be categorized as securities, dismissing multiple legal challenges against crypto enterprises. A White House spokesperson stated to the NYT, “President Trump proudly positioned the United States as the crypto capital of the world.”
