Former U.S. President Donald Trump, according to data, whose financial value rose by $1 billion after the launch of the memecoin, fueled by the business origins of the idea. NBC News, in turn, says that it was the same idea.

CNN also writes that the biggest investors in $TRUMP did not hold such memecoin results. However, according to materials, Trump may not have had any influence on the token’s price, as the token’s price was driven by the same factors, which $TRUMP bought or sold.

According to CNN data, in 2025, a significant share of the transactions involving Trump’s memecoin were made by companies, as well as by individuals, with the company selling the majority of its shares. CNN adds that Trump’s company is the largest holder of the token, and that an affiliated structure of CIC Digital and Fight Fight Fight LLC controlled 80% of $TRUMP.
