Speaking from the White House, Trump responded to inquiries about whether he was personally benefiting from the token, stating that he was unsure if he had profited from it.
The conference primarily focused on the announcement of a $500 billion investment in the “Stargate AI” artificial intelligence infrastructure project. President Trump was joined by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Oracle’s Chief Technology Officer Larry Ellison, and SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son.
When asked about TRUMP, the President appeared uncertain about its details.
“I don’t know where it is. I don’t know much about it other than I launched it, other than it was very successful,” Trump said.
Following his remarks, the token’s value briefly plummeted, prompting reactions from the financial community. Alex Krüger, founder of Aike Capital, highlighted the decline on social media platform X (formerly Twitter).
Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart also weighed in.
“Trump just nuked his own meme coin,” Seyffart noted on X.
Despite the temporary setback, TRUMP quickly rebounded. At the time of reporting, it was trading at $41.24, reflecting a 15% increase in the past 24 hours.

The meme coin’s market capitalization stood at $8.24 billion. This marked a notable increase as the token’s market cap dropped to $7.5 billion after inauguration day.
The “Official Trump” token, launched last week, experienced a rapid surge of over 1,100%, rising from $6 to $75 within 36 hours.
