Trump Company Announces Airdrop of Solana Meme Coin for NFT and Merchandise Buyers

Published February 18, 2025

In a special promotion for President's Day, the team behind Donald Trump’s official Solana meme coin, known as $TRUMP, is set to reward buyers of specific merchandise and collectibles. Those who purchased items from any of the four officially licensed Trump online stores may be eligible to receive an airdrop of the meme coin.

The idea behind this airdrop is to show appreciation for purchasers of merchandise, including Trump’s NFTs. This initiative aims to strengthen the community around the $TRUMP meme coin.

According to a post from the project on X (formerly known as Twitter), they expressed a vision of creating a large and robust crypto community: "TRUMP is creating the biggest and strongest crypto community the world has ever experienced. Today, we are growing the TRUMP community, and we want you to be part of it!"

This promotion coinciding with President's Day is titled “HAPPY PRESIDENT TRUMP DAY!” and adds an extra incentive for buyers. The $TRUMP meme coin first gained traction on January 17, 2025, attracting nearly one million users in just one week—50% of whom were first-time users in the crypto market. It was considered one of the most significant crypto onboarding events in history.

For eligible users who made purchases before February 15, the promotional airdrop will provide 3 $TRUMP tokens, which are valued at about $48 at current market rates. Qualifying purchases can include a range of items, from Trump NFTs priced at $99, to fragrances at $199, and extravagant limited edition watches soaring as high as $100,000.

To claim their tokens, users will need to provide the email address associated with their Trump merchandise order. They have until March 1 to make this claim at claim.gettrumpmemes.com. However, it’s important to note that those who bought Trump NFTs from secondary markets will not be eligible for this drop.

Despite fluctuations in the market, the $TRUMP coin was introduced on January 17 and initially reached a market cap of nearly $14.7 billion. Since then, it has experienced a significant retracement of almost 78%, trading around $16.30 as of now. The promotional efforts by Trump, however, appear ongoing.

The Trump brand also has a history with digital collectibles, having previously sold digital trading cards as NFTs. Recently, a new collection of 360,000 collectible cards was unveiled on the Ethereum scaling network, Polygon. Additionally, licensed Trump digital collectibles have been minted on Bitcoin as Ordinals inscriptions.

Currently, the floor price for Trump's first trading card collection has seen an uptick of 17% in the last 24 hours, with a starting price of $187 noted on secondary marketplaces.
