Trump memecoin issuer plans new digital asset treasury firm
The company behind Donald Trump’s official memecoin is reportedly seeking to raise at least $200 million for a new digital asset treasury firm.
- Fight Fight Fight LLC, led by Trump ally Bill Zanker, is raising $200M–$1B for a new digital asset treasury.
- The initiative aims to accumulate TRUMP memecoin tokens after steep price declines.
- The move expands Trump’s growing crypto footprint, alongside ventures in Bitcoin mining and ETFs.
This ambitious move is aimed at stabilizing the struggling token’s price and expanding its reach in the crypto ecosystem.
According to an Oct. 8 Bloomberg report , Fight Fight Fight LLC, the issuer of the Trump ( TRUMP ) memecoin, is spearheading the fundraising. The firm, led by Trump ally and longtime promoter Bill Zanker, is targeting as much as $1 billion, though the final figure is still under discussion. People familiar with the matter noted that the initiative remains in early stages and may not materialize.
The proposed Digital Asset Treasury would focus on accumulating Trump-linked tokens, including the TRUMP coin, which has lost significant value since its January peak. At the time of writing, TRUMP trades at around $8, down from an all-time high of $44.
Reviving the fading Trump memecoin
The DAT project is Zanker’s latest attempt to breathe life into the Trump token, which launched on Solana ( SOL ) shortly before Trump’s second presidential inauguration. The token’s debut featured a cartoon depiction of Trump raising his fist after the assassination attempt, a symbol that fueled its early hype but couldn’t sustain price momentum.
In May, Trump hosted a dinner with top holders of his memecoin as part of a social media campaign by Fight Fight Fight to drive community engagement. Yet, the company’s earlier plan to launch a Trump-branded wallet for trading and storage was shelved following a dispute with World Liberty Financial, another Trump-linked crypto venture.
Notably, World Liberty’s WLFI token is already being accumulated by ALT5 Sigma, a separate digital asset treasury firm. This has drawn comparisons between the two projects, with some analysts suggesting the DAT could serve a similar function, potentially concentrating ownership of Trump-related tokens within a small circle of affiliated companies.
Political crypto ambitions grow
The Trump family’s growing involvement in digital assets has expanded rapidly over the past year, including ventures into Bitcoin mining, stablecoins, and crypto exchange-traded funds. On X, crypto commentators were quick to connect the new DAT plans to Trump’s promise of ushering in a “golden age for crypto,” while critics raised concerns over possible self-enrichment and conflicts of interest.
Meanwhile, memecoin activity tied to the Trump brand continues to stir political and cultural debates, from California Governor Gavin Newsom’s satirical “Corruption Token” to ongoing promotions for Trumpbucks, a USD1 stablecoin tied to World Liberty Financial.
Despite the controversies, Zanker’s latest move shows that the Trump crypto ecosystem is far from slowing down, even if its tokens are no longer rallying as they once did.

It takes an average of 4.8 years from finalizing investment to starting construction of a data center project, and an additional 2.6 years from construction start to becoming operational. Servers usually cannot be installed until after the building structure and racks are completed. For trade partners such as Taiwan (China), South Korea, and Mexico who rely on US data center supply chain demand, the inertia in construction timelines provides at least a one- to two-year buffer for future exports.
Federal Reserve Major Debate: When Should the Tenure of “Number Three” Williams End?
The main point of contention is whether Williams should step down in June 2028, upon completing a full 10-year term, or in June 2027, when he reaches the mandatory retirement age of 65. Analysts point out that the Federal Reserve Board holds ultimate discretion; if he leaves early, Fed Chair Waller would be able to assert greater control over the appointment to this critical position. However, forcing Williams to shorten his term could easily be interpreted as political manipulation. Williams himself is expected to serve until June 2028.
