Trump Memecoin Issuer Plans Digital Asset Treasury Firm

TheCryptoTimesPublicado em 2025-10-08Última atualização em 2025-10-08

The firm that launched the US President Donald Trump’s official memecoin is now trying to raise at least $200 million to start a Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) company that will help keep the value of the token stable and grow.

According to a report by Bloomberg, Fight Fight Fight LLC, one of the co-founders of $TRUMP, is planning for the DAT. Led by Bill Zanker, a longtime friend and promoter of Donald Trump, the company reportedly plans to raise a total of $1 billion. However, sources have stated that the deal remains under development and could potentially collapse.

Zanker’s planned DAT is his latest effort to save the Trump memecoin, which came out just before the President’s second inauguration but has had trouble keeping up its momentum. 

Interestingly, when the memecoin was released to users through TGE on January 17, 2025, the circulating supply was capped at 200 million, and the maximum cap is one billion. A similar project distribution has been chosen for the DAT. 

Moreover, Trump also held a private dinner for the top holders of his memecoin in May, which the company Fight Fight Fight heavily promoted. The company kept a public leaderboard of investors who could attend, which got people talking on social media.

Data from Messari shows that about 35% of the Trump memecoin supply is currently unlocked, giving it a circulating market value of roughly $1.5 billion. Trump-affiliated entities mostly hold the remaining 65%. It remains locked but is gradually being released into circulation.

At the time of writing, the memecoin was trading at $7.54, more than 11% down since last month, according to data by CoinMarketCap. 

Trump family expanding its crypto ambitions 

Since last year, the Trump family has significantly impacted the crypto space. They started a Bitcoin mining business, a stablecoin project, and a Bitcoin treasury, and supported crypto exchange-traded funds. Their method shows that they want to bring together different parts of the digital asset ecosystem. Moreover, First Lady Melania Trump is also continuing to promote her memecoin, MELANIA, despite the ongoing controversy surrounding unannounced token sales. She did this by sharing an AI-generated video and tagging the token account.

Alexander Shokhin: Business Needs an Interest Rate Below 10% and the Dollar at 90-95 Rubles

Alexander Shokhin, head of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs (RSPP), has advocated for potentially using "non-market" tools to keep the ruble within a target exchange rate corridor. This, he argues on August 21, would help avoid excessive volatility, though he called the topic a separate discussion. Shokhin had previously raised the idea of a currency corridor in late May, noting the ruble's current exchange rate is not fully market-driven due to a limited currency segment and reduced foreign currency demand. He stated that many business community colleagues propose fixing a corridor, even through non-market methods, to ensure predictability. The business community's key targets, as outlined by Shokhin in late December 2025, are a Central Bank key rate of 12%, inflation of 4–5%, and a US dollar exchange rate of 90–95 rubles by the end of 2026. A turning point for investment, he said, would be lowering the rate to 12% with 6% inflation, though truly comfortable business conditions would require a rate below 10%. He stressed the critical importance of currency predictability for corporate investment decisions. From a data analysis perspective, the idea of a ruble corridor is not new. A similar mechanism was used in Russia from 1995 to 1998, where the central bank held the dollar within fixed boundaries through regular interventions. This regime lasted three years before ending abruptly during the 1998 default, illustrating the fragility of rigid targets under external shocks. The macro-economic link is clear: stricter corridors require more reserves to defend against currency pressure. The key unresolved technical aspect is the specific sources and volume of such interventions given the current market's limited liquidity. Whether this discussion remains theoretical or leads to concrete corridor parameters will be seen in the coming months.
