Trump Company Plans to Airdrop Solana Meme Coin to Eligible NFT, Merch Buyers

Buyers of merchandise or collectibles from one of four officially licensed Trump online shops may be eligible for an airdrop of the president’s official Solana meme coin, TRUMP. And that includes initial sales of Trump’s official NFT collections.

The airdrop is part of a President’s Day promotion to reward buyers of the merchandise and further grow the community behind the TRUMP meme coin. 

“TRUMP is creating the biggest and strongest crypto community the world has ever experienced,” the project posted on X (formerly Twitter). “Today, we are growing the TRUMP community, and we want you to be part of it!”

Any user who purchased items from Trump’s official sneakers, watches, fragrances, or digital trading card sites before February 15 is eligible to claim 3 TRUMP tokens, around $48 worth at the current price. Items range in price from $99 for Trump NFTs to $199 for fragrances, all the way up to $100,000 for a limited edition 18-karat gold watch. 

The claim requires users to share the email address that was utilized for their Trump merchandise order. Eligible parties will have until March 1 to claim their TRUMP tokens at claim.gettrumpmemes.com. Users who purchased Trump NFTs from secondary marketplaces are not eligible for the drop.

A representative for the president’s meme coin did not immediately respond to Decrypt’s request for details on where the promotion altokens came from, and how many are being offered in total.

TRUMP, the official Solana meme coin, was launched on January 17 and quickly ballooned to a market cap of nearly $14.7 billion. It has since retraced nearly 78% from its all time high, trading at $16.30 at the time of writing, despite occasional promotions by the president. 

The president has a history of selling digital trading cards as NFTs, most recently releasing 360,000 collectible cards on Ethereum scaling network Polygon. Last January, officially licensed Trump digital collectibles were also minted on Bitcoin as Ordinals inscriptions.

Trump’s first-ever trading card collection is up 17% in the last 24 hours and holds a floor price—or starting price on secondary marketplaces—of $187, according to NFT Price Floor.
