The TRUMP memecoin is set to unlock over $300 million worth of tokens this Saturday, initiating a prolonged distribution phase

The TRUMP memecoin will begin a daily drip of tokens this Saturday, starting a prolonged phase of distributing 0.049% of the total 1 billion token supply, currently valued at about $3.8 million.

This follows a major 20% release of the total supply on Jan. 17, primarily used for public distribution and liquidity provisioning, as per DefiLlama data.

However, a tranche on April 19 will see roughly 4.05% of the total supply, equivalent to $311.89 million, distributed to four wallets.

All of the recipients for that tranche are internal stakeholders, including CIC Digital 1 and CIC Digital 4.

After that tranche is complete, the cumulative unlocked portion of the total supply will reach 24.05%.

Then, on April 20, the daily drip begins an automated unlocking cycle that continues for 1,096 days.

Each 24-hour interval will see an additional 0.49 ′ of the total token supply unlocked, which translates to approximately $3.8 million at the current $7.70 token price.

Of that, 443,836 TRUMP (approximately $3.42 million) will go to the CIC Digital 1 wallet, and 49,315 TRUMP (roughly $380,000) to CIC Digital 4.

Other insider wallets, CIC Digital 2, CIC Digital 3, CIC Digital 5, and CIC Digital 6, started receiving their daily $1.58 million payouts in July this year.

The payout will continue every day until mid-April 2028, at which point the emissions schedule will conclude with the full release of all 1 billion TRUMP tokens.

At the time of writing, only 20% of the token supply is in circulation, all attributed to the January event. The remaining 80% is currently assigned to insider and non-circulating designations.

Once the unlocks are complete, the final allocation will see insiders hold 80% of the token supply, while public-sale and non-circulating allocations each represent 10%.

This contrasts with the current state, where insiders hold 0%, and public-sale plus non-circulating tranches split the unlocked supply.

At a token price of $7.70, the memecoin’s fully diluted market capitalization stands at $7.7 billion. With only 200 million tokens circulating, the realized market cap is approximately $1.54 billion.

The April unlocks will raise the circulating supply to nearly 250 million TRUMP, increasing daily with each drip.

The magnitude of insider-controlled token flows and their extended time horizon presents ongoing liquidity and market behavior questions, especially as sell-side pressure compounds in 2026 and beyond.

While TRUMP’s current price has already seen a 30% drop over the past 30 days, the unlock schedule introduces a prolonged period of predictable sell-side availability.

However, it remains to be seen how many of the unlocked tokens will be liquidated, retained, or reallocated.

As the circulating supply surpasses key thresholds—such as the 50% midpoint projected in early 2026—holders may reassess fair value based on insider behavior, exchange liquidity, and broader market sentiment.

Per the unlock schedule, Saturday’s tranche begins a sustained and pre-programmed flow of insider-held tokens into the circulating supply, with implications for both price formation and investor strategy through 2028.
