  • Dave Portnoy turned a $500,000 investment in Trump’s meme coin into a $1 million profit overnight.
  • He bet his entire $1 million gain on the Buffalo Bills to win the Super Bowl for a potential $5.5 million return.
  • Trump’s $TRUMP coin launch, alongside Melania’s crypto venture, has driven over $50 billion in market activity.

Dave Portnoy, founder of Barstool Sports and known for his impulsive antics, turned a casual investment in the Trump meme coin, $TRUMP, into a $1 million windfall overnight. The controversial figure admitted to buying in due to FOMO after Donald Trump’s Friday night announcement and quickly cashed out for a hefty profit.

A Quick Profit and a Risky Bet

Portnoy revealed on X that he initially invested $500,000 in the $TRUMP coin, only to sell it hours later at a 200% gain. “I’m up a million bucks. Now I’m putting it all on the Bills to win the Super Bowl,” he said, placing his $1 million profit on the team at +550 odds for a potential $5.5 million return. His brash move reflects his trademark mix of bravado and humor.

The Trump Crypto Boom

Trump’s announcement of the $TRUMP coin on Friday, with the tagline “It’s time to celebrate everything we stand for: WINNING!” set the internet ablaze. The coin’s launch, alongside Melania Trump’s announcement of her own meme coin, has collectively driven over $50 billion in market activity, further elevating the Trumps’ prominence in the cryptocurrency space.

Meme Coins and American Dreams

In true Portnoy style, he described his journey: “Tell me something more American than turning $500K into $1.5M and putting it all on the Bills for their first Super Bowl win.” His story, blending humor, risk-taking, and meme coin frenzy, highlights the volatile yet captivating world of crypto in Trump’s America.
