$200 Million Lifeline: TRUMP Meme Coin’s Dramatic Battle Against Collapse

Emergency funds flood in as the controversial meme coin fights for survival

The Rescue Package Breakdown

A staggering $200 million rescue plan hits the crypto markets - because what's more stable than throwing massive cash at politically-themed digital tokens? The TRUMP meme coin, once riding high on speculative frenzy, now faces its ultimate survival test as developers scramble to prevent total implosion.

Market Mechanics in Crisis Mode

Liquidity pools drain faster than political promises during election season. Trading volumes spike as panic sets in among holders who bought the hype without considering the fundamentals - because who needs fundamentals when you have memes and market manipulation?

The Last Stand

Community votes trigger emergency protocols while whales position themselves on both sides of the trade. Some see bargain prices, others see sinking ships - typical crypto Tuesday, really. The $200 million injection represents either brilliant strategic maneuvering or the financial equivalent of rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.

Because nothing says 'sound investment' like needing a nine-figure bailout for a token based on internet jokes and political tribalism.

Rescue Plan Targets Market Pressure

According to Bloomberg and people familiar with the effort, the token has lost most of its value since launch, sliding from $75 in January to around $8 today — a drop of more than 90%.

Zanker’s pitch is to build a digital-asset treasury that WOULD buy and support the token to steady trading and rebuild investor interest.

Trump has shown visible support for the initiative; in May 2025 he met privately with leading holders after a social campaign that let top contributors win a place at a dinner. Organizers kept a live leaderboard tied to the token, but the event had little effect on price.

According to Bloomberg, Fight Fight Fight LLC, issuer of the TRUMP token, plans to raise at least $200 million to establish a Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) for accumulating the struggling “Trump memecoin.” The company is run by Donald Trump’s longtime associate Bill Zanker, and…

Token Control And Supply Issues

According to Messari data, only 20% of the total supply is currently unlocked, leaving a circulating market value at roughly $1.5 billion.

The remaining 80% of tokens were locked at launch and are due to be released over time. That high concentration of locked supply, much of it held by entities tied to the US President, is a persistent worry for traders because future releases could swell supply and pressure prices.

While the Trump token flounders, World Liberty Financial’s WLFI has pulled in major backing. Reports show ALT5 Sigma holds about $1.3 billion of WLFI.

CoinGlass data indicates roughly $82 million left the WLFI perpetual market during a recent squeeze, trimming total value locked to $630 million.

Community sentiment tracking slid from 79% to around 75%, and more than 4% of investors shifted from bullish to bearish on certain platforms, according to market trackers.

Meanwhile, Arkham Intelligence flagged that large crypto players have been accumulating WLFI in recent days, with centralized platforms like Robinhood, Bitget, Bitpanda, and Indodax investing over $30 million collectively.

At the same time, exchanges including Binance, MEXC, and Coinbase pared small slices of their WLFI holdings, each selling under 1% of their reserves.
