Summary
$636 million in 2025 income from the $TRUMP memecoin was disclosed for President Trump, according to a financial filing highlighted in the latest report.
Nearly 1 million crypto accounts lost a combined $3.8 billion on the token, an independent analysis found, underscoring the gap between Trump's gains and investor outcomes.
The coin was launched just days before Trump's 2025 inauguration, tying the profits and losses to a token introduced at the start of his return to office.
The New York Times said it is seeking accounts from people who bought $TRUMP last year to document why they invested, what happened afterward and how they view it now.
