TRUMP Memecoin’s 97% Crash Leaves Nearly 989,000 Investors With Losses, according to a Nansen report cited in the latest review of the token’s investor base. The crypto analytics firm reported that 988,905 buyers had lost money through the end of June, with total losses reaching $3.81 billion.
The figures showed a wide split between retail traders and more sophisticated market participants.
Nansen Report Shows Heavy Retail Losses
The latest tally focused on investors who bought the Trump-linked memecoin after its launch. Nansen’s assessment showed that most retail buyers ended June with losses. Meanwhile, more experienced traders performed better, according to the report.
The losses came as the token fell sharply from its peak. The TRUMP memecoin traded near $1.76 after dropping 97% from its high of $75.35. That steep decline placed many late buyers deep in negative territory.
Notably, the investor losses appeared alongside a separate financial picture for President Trump. His annual financial disclosure showed a $636 million payout tied to the same crypto bet. The filing also showed at least $2.2 billion from all business ventures in 2025.
Financial Disclosure Highlights Crypto Income
The disclosure, signed this week, added more detail to Trump’s broader crypto earnings. It showed more than $500 million from World Liberty Financial, the cryptocurrency venture he co-founded with Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr.
Meanwhile, World Liberty Financial started selling a token called $WLFI after its launch in fall 2024. The venture began as Trump embraced the crypto industry while running for president. The $WLFI token has also declined sharply, according to the provided details.
The same filing drew renewed attention to Trump’s crypto shift. He had previously expressed skepticism about digital assets. However, he later entered the sector through World Liberty Financial and the Trump memecoin.
Notably, the memecoin structure allowed Trump to collect returns from trading activity. The provided details said he profited whether the token price rose or fell. He also promoted the token through his Truth Social account.
Trump Denies Wrongdoing in Crypto Profits
The controversy widened after Trump addressed the financial disclosure in a CNBC interview on Thursday. He denied that the crypto profits involved illegal activity. He also said there was nothing wrong with the earnings.
Meanwhile, Trump linked his view of crypto to U.S. competition with China. He said the United States needed to lead in the industry, similar to artificial intelligence. His comments framed crypto as part of a broader technology race.
The president also responded to questions about his family’s business role. He argued that the size and scope of the presidency created information advantages around many decisions. He said his children could have inside information across ordinary business choices.
However, critics have accused Trump and his family of conflicts of interest tied to World Liberty Financial. The venture has faced scrutiny during his second term, as the latest disclosure showed large crypto-related income beside steep investor losses.
