TRUMP token unlock on 18 November 2026: 28.7M tokens on one tracker, no date from the issuer

The next TRUMP token unlock on the trackers falls on 18 November 2026: 28,695,652 TRUMP, or 2.9% of the 1 billion supply, all for insiders, according to Tokenomics.com. That figure comes from a tracker’s model, not from an announcement. The official TRUMP site gives a 36-month emission period for the creators’ tokens and no amount for any month.

The date is also less sharp than it looks. Insider TRUMP has been released day by day since April 2025, according to CryptoSlate, and Tokenomist says no cliff unlock is scheduled. On that reading, 18 November is a monthly accounting date for tokens that reach wallets in small daily amounts. No time of day is published anywhere, which is why this page lists the whole day in UTC.

What the official terms say about the TRUMP unlock schedule

The token runs on Solana and has a maximum supply of 1 billion. The site gives 200 million as circulating at launch and splits the supply into three blocks: 80% for “Creators & CIC Digital”, 10% for liquidity and 10% for public distribution. Its disclaimer says CIC Digital LLC and Fight Fight Fight LLC together own 80% of the tokens, released over three years, and that each group’s allocation is released on its own schedule. Three service providers share 0.14% on the same terms.

The same page describes CIC Digital as an affiliate of The Trump Organization and names Celebration Cards LLC as the owner of Fight Fight Fight LLC, which holds the site’s copyright. It also states that the token is not distributed or sold by Donald J. Trump or The Trump Organization.

Beyond that, the terms are thin. A pie chart shows slices of 36%, 18%, 18%, 10%, 10% and 8%, without saying which slice belongs to whom. No cliff, tranche or calendar date appears on the page.

What the trackers model for 18 November

Tokenomics.com fills the gap with its own model. It splits the 800 million insider tokens into six “Creators & CIC Digital” allocations of 36%, 18%, 18%, 4%, 2% and 2% of supply, each with a cliff of 3, 6 or 12 months followed by 24 months of linear release. The last three add up to 8%, so the model fits the official pie if that slice groups them, a reading the issuer has not confirmed.

Because the release periods overlap, the monthly amount moves. A flat average of 800 million over 36 months would give about 22.2 million a month; the tracker shows 28.7 million for November. We did not rebuild its calculation. It lists 34 monthly events in all, 14 still ahead, with the next rows on 18 December, 18 January and 18 February, and a final vesting date of 18 December 2027.

Tokenomist, the second tracker we could read on 7 November, gives no amount for 18 November. It says 26.62% of the supply is still locked and that the schedule runs into 2028. Tokenomics.com, for its part, counts 778,260,868 TRUMP released and 22.2% still to come. The two models do not agree, and the issuer has published nothing that would settle it.

In money terms, Tokenomics.com puts the tranche at USD 34.6 million at the price it uses. On CoinGecko data, TRUMP traded at USD 1.18 at 09:17 UTC on 7 November, down 24.7% over seven days, with 281.87 million tokens in circulation and a market capitalisation of USD 332.16 million. At that price the November tranche is worth about USD 33.9 million, by our arithmetic, and equals about 10.2% of the circulating supply. The tracker also prints the tranche as 3.7% of market capitalisation, which CoinGecko’s figures do not support (they give about 10.4%), so we leave that number aside.

When the TRUMP vesting ends: three answers

No final date can be given with confidence. Tokenomics.com stops on 18 December 2027. Tokenomist says only that the schedule extends into 2028. CryptoSlate, writing in April 2025, counted 1,096 daily releases from 20 April 2025, which takes the count to mid-April 2028. The official site says three years and nothing more.

The gap may come from the start date each source uses, the launch in January 2025 or the first release in April. None of the readings is confirmed by the issuer.

How the first insider release went in April 2025

The first insider tranche came three months after the January launch: about 40 million TRUMP, roughly 4.05% of supply, worth about USD 312 million at the time, according to CryptoSlate. Outlets differ on the day. Decrypt and most early coverage gave Friday 18 April 2025, CryptoSlate 19 April. CryptoSlate reported that the tokens were split across four wallets, two of them labelled CIC Digital 1 and CIC Digital 4, and that 24.05% of the supply was unlocked after it.

Daily payouts followed from 20 April at about 0.049% of supply a day, 443,836 TRUMP for CIC Digital 1 and 49,315 for CIC Digital 4. CryptoSlate said four more wallets, CIC Digital 2, 3, 5 and 6, would start receiving theirs in July.

What insider wallets have done with unlocked tokens

Crypto Briefing reported on 3 October 2026 that about 81.87 million TRUMP, worth roughly USD 249 million at the time of the transfers, moved from team-linked wallets to exchanges over eight months, mainly Binance and OKX. That included about 8.4 million TRUMP, some USD 18 million, sent to OKX in September 2026 after a monthly unlock. The report put the team’s remaining holdings at 718 million tokens, or 71.8% of supply.

Read it with care. The article cites research findings without naming the analyst or explaining how the wallets were tied to the team. It describes the transfers as sales of about 8.2% of supply, but a deposit on an exchange does not prove that tokens were sold. The page carries no comment from the TRUMP team.

There is also a plan on the buying side, never confirmed as completed. Bloomberg reported on 8 October 2025, as relayed by The Block, that Fight Fight Fight, led by Bill Zanker, was seeking at least USD 200 million, possibly up to USD 1 billion, for a digital-asset treasury company that could accumulate TRUMP. The deal was then still in development. We found no report that the raise closed.

What can be checked after 18 November

Two questions will have on-chain answers: whether the insider wallets receive what Tokenomics.com modelled, and whether those tokens then move to exchanges. Neither tells you what the price will do. A token unlock adds supply, and Tokenomics.com reports an average move of -6.3% over ten days around past TRUMP unlocks, a statistic about timing, not cause.

The next dated rows on the same tracker are 18 December 2026 and 18 January 2027. Another insider release falls in the same month: Monad’s unlock on 24 November. This page is information, not investment advice.
