The Trump token holder faces sudden losses to unlock its first vesting on April 18, and will distribute 40 million tokens worth around $309 million at a 90% discount from peak.
Unlocked tokens account for 20% of current distribution supply, and before-sized portions of supply could introduce fresh volatility when they hit the market. According to Coingecko, the price of a card token has fluctuated between $7.46 and $7.83 over the past 24 hours.
April 18th marks the first unlock event for the card token.
The Trump token is down 89.5% from its all-time high of $73.43, recorded on January 19, just two days after it was released before President Donald Trump’s inauguration. Blockchain Analytics Firm Chainalysys estimates that the value of the token collapsed within the weeks of its debut, with over 800,000 wallets totaling $2 billion in losses.
Profit or loss is only realized at the time of sale. This means that the holder will not bear any actual loss unless it chooses to sell the token. According to the Token website, the unlocked token belongs to “Creators and CIC Digital LLC.”

Who owns the supply of card tokens?
According to the Trump Token website, the two organizations belonging to Trump’s business umbrella are 80% of CIC Digital LLC and Fight Fight LLC, which are 80% of token supply.
According to a report from MarketWatch, CIC Digital, an affiliate of the Trump organization, notes that Trump’s 2024 financial disclosures were trusted by the time it was financially disclosed to the U.S. Federal Election Commission. CIC Digital was previously linked to Trump’s inappropriate token collection.

Fight Fight Fight LLC is another business related to Trump. It is jointly owned by CIC Digital and another company, Celebration Cards LLC. It was formed by Andrew Pierce in Wyoming. Fight Fight Fight LLC is synonymous with Trump’s slogan “Fight Fight Fight,” which cried out to cameras during an assassination attempt during a campaign rally.
The unlock on April 18th represents a “cliff.” This is a large, one-off release of tokens. While other cliff unlocks are first, many tokens are released at a steady pace. For example, between April 19th and 21st, approximately 493,000 tokens will be unlocked every day, according to Dropstab.
