1. Trump's meme coin debuted on January 18, 2025, at a price of around fifty dollars per coin. It immediately shot up value, and then quickly descended. The insiders made billions. The fund charges a commission on all trades. Shortly after its debut, the price per coin had dropped to about ten dollars. It steadily declined after that. Today, the price is about three dollars per coin.

2. Trump's and his sons' World Liberty Financial debuted around August 25, 2025, at about thirty-five dollar per share. It steadily descended to under two dollars per share where it sits now.

3. Around September 2, 2025, Trump sons' American Bitcoin, Incorporated, debuted around fifteen dollars per share. That night, Eric bragged about his gain, which was over one billion dollars. Afterward, the price steading declined. It is now at about two dollars per share.
