At current token prices, Donald Trump’s memecoin will make him millions over the next three years as his tokens divest.
We ran several scenarios, taking the average price of tokens as $13.55, as referenced on May 18.
Daily sell-rate baseline: $1.58 million → ≈ 116,600 TRUMP.
Put differently, Trump would need to unload the equivalent of 16%-32 % of the current float, depending on price action, to buy the Qatar jumbo outright.
Accepting the aircraft as a foreign “gift” would trigger Emoluments Clause headaches and almost certainly congressional scrutiny. Should lawmakers stall the deal, the optics could accelerate insider selling as team wallets race to exit before any freeze, effectively shortening the timetable in Scenario B even further.
At the current insider dump rate, Trump could theoretically foot the bill for a Qatar-sourced 747-8i in under 269 days. Double the sell-pressure after the May 26 dinner, and the jet is his by autumn recess; cut the price in half mid-entrée, and he’s grounded well into 2026.
Either way, the memecoin supply is the only thing lighter than the luggage allowance on an EasyJet commercial flight.
Ultimately, continuing to sell newly unlocked tokens could put downward pressure on the price. However, with billions in market cap and daily volume around $1 billion, insider wallet sales could be easily absorbed through smart trading.
TRUMP tokens are held mainly by his base, memecoin traders, and some institutions and companies. These groups would have to match or beat continued insider sales to push the price up so the Trump family could continue to realize daily million-dollar gains.
As of press time, TRUMP fell to $12.40, alongside the broader market decline, lengthening the timeframe the president would need to raise $400+ million.
Although the exercise is theoretical, Trump’s actions during his second term thus far suggest nothing is impossible.
