Nearly one million investors who purchased the TRUMP memecoin had recorded combined losses of $3.81 billion by the end of June 2026, according to a Nansen report cited by The New York Times. The findings came as President Donald Trump's 2025 financial disclosure reported hundreds of millions of dollars in crypto-related income from the same token and World Liberty Financial.
According to Nansen, 988,905 wallets that purchased the TRUMP memecoin had unrealized or realized losses through the end of June. The report said those investors represented roughly two-thirds of all buyers.
The analytics firm calculated cumulative losses at $3.81 billion. Meanwhile, the TRUMP token traded at $1.76, down 97% from its peak of $75.35. However, not every trader lost money.
Nansen found that just under 500,000 wallets generated approximately $4 billion in combined profits. The report stated that a relatively small group of early and sophisticated traders captured those gains. Meanwhile, the broader retail market absorbed most of the losses.
According to President Donald Trump's 2025 financial disclosure, he received a $636 million payout linked to the TRUMP memecoin. The same filing also reported $799 million in profit from World Liberty Financial during the year.
The New York Times reported that Trump earned transaction-related income from the memecoin regardless of its market price. The newspaper also noted that Trump promoted the token through his Truth Social account after its launch.
Separately, World Liberty Financial continued selling its WLFI token after its introduction. According to Nansen, 85% of the 26,663 tracked WLFI wallets recorded losses totaling $83 million.
The White House rejected suggestions that Trump profited at the expense of supporters. According to The New York Times, White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly said Trump acted in the best interests of the American people while supporting the United States' crypto industry.
Meanwhile, World Liberty Financial spokesman David Wachsman attributed WLFI's price decline to broader cryptocurrency market conditions. The TRUMP memecoin website also stated that the token was intended as an expression of support rather than an investment opportunity.
