As part of our ongoing exploration of asymmetric opportunities in the crypto markets, we have decided to make a small, opportunistic bet on Trump Coin ($TRUMP). This position will not replace or alter our core holdings in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, but will instead be structured as a side challenge using a disciplined, incremental approach.
The 52-Week Challenge
We will allocate to Trump Coin gradually over the course of one year. Starting with $1 in week one, increasing by $1 each subsequent week, and continuing through week 52, this strategy will total $1,378 in contributions if completed.
- Initial funding: Early weeks will be financed from our existing cash balances.
- Later weeks: We may allocate a portion of weekly options premiums into Trump Coin, depending on market conditions.
This structured accumulation reduces timing risk and ensures that our exposure scales modestly.
Why Trump Coin?
Unlike our core crypto holdings, Trump Coin is not optionable, meaning we cannot hedge or generate yield from covered call strategies. By adding it, we are explicitly taking opportunistic risk.
Our reasoning is simple: with President Trump in office until 2028, this token remains a powerful narrative asset tied to politics, culture, and market sentiment. The coin has already demonstrated explosive speculative potential, with a previous all-time high near $70. While there is no guarantee that history will repeat, we view a return to those levels as within the realm of possibility during this administration.
Risk Acknowledgment
We are clear that Trump Coin is not a core holding and carries significant downside risk. This allocation is strictly experimental, sized small, and designed as a side challenge rather than a pillar of our portfolio. We may be wrong in our assumptions, and the token could lose significant value.
This is not a trade recommendation, but a transparent outline of our thinking.
Closing Thought
By pursuing this 52-week Trump Coin challenge, we are adding a small but structured exposure to a unique political-meme asset. The upside is speculative, the risk is high, and the allocation is sized accordingly. Our conviction remains strongest in BTC, ETH, and SOL—but selective opportunism is part of our broader strategy.
