A new promotion is offering an airdrop of TRUMP, the official Solana memecoin linked to Donald Trump, to buyers of officially licensed Trump merchandise.
Customers who made purchases from any of Trump’s four authorised online stores before 15 February 2025 can claim three TRUMP tokens, currently valued at around $48.
The claim process requires users to submit the email address used for their purchase.
Eligible buyers have until 1 March 2025 to claim their tokens through the website claim.gettrumpmemes.com.
However, those who purchased Trump NFTs from secondary marketplaces will not qualify for the airdrop.
Launched on 17 January 2025, TRUMP, the official Solana-based memecoin, saw its market cap surge to nearly $14.7 billion before dropping significantly.
The token is now down approximately 78% from its all-time high, trading at $16.30 at the time of writing.
Despite the price drop, the project remains optimistic about the coin’s future, actively promoting community engagement.
The project stated on X,
“$TRUMP is creating the biggest and strongest crypto community the world has ever experienced.”
Trump has previously capitalised on the digital collectibles market.
His first-ever trading card collection, initially sold as NFTs, has recently seen a 17% increase in value over the past 24 hours, now holding a floor price of $187, according to NFT Price Floor.
Beyond digital assets, Trump’s merchandise spans a wide price range.
Items include fragrances priced at $199, NFTs starting at $99, and even a limited-edition 18-karat gold watch available for $100,000.
The TRUMP memecoin airdrop comes amid a broader decline in the cryptocurrency market.
According to CoinGecko, Bitcoin (BTC) has dropped 5.9% in the past month, now valued at $95,597.53.
Ethereum (ETH) has fallen by 17.2%, while Solana (SOL) has seen a 27.6& decline.
Memecoins have also taken a hit, with Dogecoin (DOGE) losing 35% of its value over the last 30 days.
Meanwhile, TRUMP has seen a drastic fall from its peak of $56 last month, reflecting a 63.4% decrease.
A representative for the TRUMP project has yet to disclose how many tokens are allocated for the airdrop or where the promotional coins originated.
