Whale Who Netted $108,000,000 Profit on TRUMP Books Loss on the Memecoin After President’s Truth Social Post

A whale who previously won big on the Official Trump (TRUMP) memecoin booked a loss on the controversial asset over the weekend, according to the crypto tracker Lookonchain.

The whale then sold the TRUMP stash an hour later, booking a $207,000 loss. However, the loss pales in comparison to gains the whale made earlier this year when it spent 1.09 million USDC to buy 5.97 million TRUMP and booked a $108 million profit, according to Lookonchain. The president launched the Official Trump memecoin in mid-January, days before he took office.

Is the US government allowed to sell gold to buy bitcoin?

When President Donald Trump signed an executive order establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR), he ordered David Sacks to assemble a team and plan to buy bitcoin (BTC) for the nation. Sacks’ top appointee, Executive Director of the President’s Council of Advisers Bo Hines, thinks one mechanism for buying BTC is selling gold. Hines called the proposed move a “budget-neutral” way to acquire BTC. The claim that the US should sell its gold sparked immediate debate. Not only does gold have over 5,000 years of history as a sovereign store of value, the metal is a dominant asset on central bankers’ balance sheets. Hines thinks the US may legally sell BTC through at least three methods . The first method is democratically clear: Congressional authorization. In the US, Congress approves the federal budget and has constitutional authority to allocate resources.  One bill among many that is slowly working its way through Congress, Senator Cynthia Lummis’ (R-Wyoming)...
