Posted On May 5, 2025
President Donald Trump refuted claims that he is financially benefiting from his Official Trump (CRYPTO: TRUMP) meme coin during an interview that aired Sunday.
What Happened: In a wide-ranging interview with NBC News, Trump was asked about his potential financial gains from the Solana (CRYPTO: SOL)-based cryptocurrency, to which he responded, “I’m not profiting from anything.”
“I haven’t even looked,” Trump said, implying he was unaware of the coin’s gains and the market valuation it has spawned since launch. “If I own stock in something, and I do a good job, and the stock market goes up, I guess I’m profiting.”
