Trump reported $635,068,835 in 2025 royalties from licensing the $TRUMP meme coin.
His company CIC Digital LLC listed the money as royalties from a license agreement with Celebration Coins on a 927-page financial disclosure released June 30, 2026. NBC News found no digital footprint for a group by that name. The coin’s website names Celebration Cards LLC, the owner of Fight Fight Fight, as a recipient of its trading revenue alongside CIC Digital. CIC Digital also reported $493,846 from a sublicense with JBCZ Group. Trump did not divest his assets or put them in a blind trust. The White House said neither the president nor his family has ever engaged or will ever engage in conflicts of interest.

The $TRUMP coin’s official website announced another holders’ gala, pitched as an evening with Trump, for November 22, 2026, in Washington.
The coin’s website lists November 12 as the holder snapshot date. Mother Jones reported the top 185 holders will be invited to Trump’s D.C.-area golf club, with a VIP reception for the top 29. On October 22, Sen. Adam Schiff and eight other Democratic senators wrote to chief of staff Susie Wiles asking for an unredacted attendee log and an accounting of Trump’s gains from the coin. The White House did not respond to Mother Jones.

Admitted
The coin’s own website says a Trump Organization affiliate and its partner own 80% of the 1 billion tokens, and that the affiliate and the partner’s parent company collect the trading revenue.
The owners are CIC Digital LLC, the Trump Organization affiliate, and Fight Fight Fight LLC. Their tokens unlock over three years. Trading revenue goes to CIC Digital and to Celebration Cards LLC, which owns Fight Fight Fight. The site says the coins are not an investment opportunity and that it is not political.

Reported
Reuters estimated the $TRUMP coin had made about $616 million for the Trump family while its buyers lost more than $700 million.
The June 2026 analysis drew on blockchain records and corporate filings and was reviewed by more than a dozen accounting and crypto experts. Across the family’s crypto ventures, Reuters found at least $2.3 billion in profit from investors since Trump returned to office. White House spokesperson Anna Kelly said, “All actions by President Trump and his administration are taken in the best interest of the American people.” The coin’s website, the Trump Organization, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. did not respond.

Reported
Of the 1.48 million wallets that bought $TRUMP, 988,905 had lost money by the end of June 2026, $3.81 billion in all, according to Nansen data.
That was about 66% of the wallets; Fortune cited the figures from Nansen as reported by The New York Times. Nansen’s total adds up the losses of the wallets that lost money and doesn’t subtract what other wallets made. The coin traded at $1.68 on July 7, 2026, down 97% from its high of $75.35, and Mother Jones put it around $1.75 on October 22. The White House referred Fortune to the Trump Organization.

Reported
Trump attended a dinner on May 22, 2025, for the top 220 $TRUMP holders at his golf club outside Washington.
Holders were ranked by how many coins they held and for how long, and the top 25 got a private reception with Trump. He spoke in front of the official presidential seal, Gizmodo reported. Press secretary Karoline Leavitt said, “The president is attending it in his personal time. It is not a White House dinner,” and called it “absurd for anyone to insinuate that this president is profiting off of the presidency.”

Reported
The 220 holders invited to the dinner spent a combined $148 million buying $TRUMP before the event.
The Wall Street Journal reported the total and that many attendees were foreigners. Justin Sun, the top holder, held about $18 million worth of the coin, according to CNN, and posted that he was awarded a “Trump Golden Tourbillion” watch. The White House called it a private event.

Reported
Fight Fight Fight sought to raise at least $200 million for a company that would buy $TRUMP tokens.
Bloomberg reported in October 2025 that the effort, led by longtime Trump promoter Bill Zanker, could raise as much as $1 billion but was at an early stage and might not happen. About 65% of the supply was then held by Trump-related entities and locked under vesting schedules, Cointelegraph reported.
