The numbers are in. Cryptocurrency analytics firm Nansen has completed its tally of the Official Trump (TRUMP) meme coin buyers, and the results are stark. The report was first published by the New York Times.
As of the end of June 2026, 988,905 wallets that purchased $TRUMP have recorded losses, roughly two out of every three buyers of the coin. Their combined losses total $3.81 billion.
Nansen's analysis was made possible by the nature of blockchain technology. Since crypto transactions are publicly recorded on a digital ledger, it allows analysts to trace purchases from individual wallets and calculate profit and loss positions at scale.
At the time of writing, the $TRUMP coin was trading at $1.76, down almost 97% from its peak price of $75.35. Anyone who bought at or near the top and kept holding is sitting on near-total losses.

The report does not tell only one side of the story. Just under 500,000 wallets have recorded profits from $TRUMP, totaling $4 billion in gains.
But Nansen's own characterization of that figure is important, it "reflects a small number of early buyers capturing enormous gains while the broad retail majority absorbed the losses."
The pattern is consistent with how meme coins typically move. Sophisticated early traders, often using automated programs, buy in fast, ride the initial surge, and exit before slower retail buyers arrive. Those retail buyers become the exit liquidity.
While many retail investors saw their investments collapse, the outcome was very different for President Donald Trump. According to his 2025 financial disclosure filed with the U.S. Office of Government Ethics on June 29, 2026, he received $635 million in royalty income, including the $TRUMP coin.
The filing shows his total verified crypto-related income at approximately $1.23 billion, making crypto a larger source of income than his traditional real estate business.
Meanwhile, a Reuters investigation published in June 2026 estimated that investors suffered roughly $2.3 billion in combined realized and unrealized losses at the end of April as the token plunged more than 95% from its peak.
The meme coin's market capitalization has fallen to about $393 million, much lower than $27 billion at launch.
Trending on TheStreet RoundtableNansen also tracked losses on World Liberty Financial's $WLFI token, though that data is less complete since many transactions occurred on exchanges whose data is not publicly visible.
Of the 26,663 wallets Nansen could track, 85% recorded a loss, totaling $83 million in losses against $23 million in profits.
Today, $WLFI trades at $0.057, down 82% from its Sep. 1, 2025 peak of $0.3313.
