The President of the United States, Donald Trump, has made crypto headlines again due to his appearance at NBC

Within just 100 days of being back in office, his meme coin, $TRUMP, earned over $320 million in trading profits.

President Donald Trump's meme coin, $TRUMP, has made headlines again as the token continues to heat up despite the president's claims of having no involvement in the project.

Within just 100 days of being back in office, Trump’s meme coin $TRUMP has earned over $320 million in trading profits. The token, which was released hours before his return to the White House (inauguration), has seen a spur in the crypto market.

The coin’s price jumped a few hours after it was announced on X.

Recently, some top buyers have been offered a private dinner with the president, making more fuss about the token. But while the administration’s crypto rules are becoming less strict, some experts are getting worried about the president personally profiting from such projects.

$TRUMP Token History

The token was launched on the 17th of January, 2025, and it immediately hit a high of $73.43 just before Trump’s inauguration. After all the hype, the price dropped by almost 85% but saw a jump after Trump offered a private dinner at his Washington Golf Club to top holders on May 22, 2025. The price now trades around the $11 range, and as of the time of writing, it is trading at $11.28.

Trump’s Controversial Comment on $TRUMP

Recently, the president appeared on an NBC News interview where he was asked about the earnings from his meme token. At first, he said he wasn’t getting anything from it. Later, he added, “I haven’t even looked,” and said that if his stock rose while he was doing a good job, “I guess I’m profiting.”

Even with his claims of not having any involvement in the token, two firms linked to Trump’s businesses, CIC Digital LLC and Fight Fight Fight LLC, hold 80% of the total 1 billion supply. In April, CIC Digital unlocked about $454 million worth of $TRUMP tokens.
