On-chain data from Santiment reveals a clear redistribution pattern since the event was announced on March 12. The largest holder tier, wallets holding between 10 million and 100 million tokens, trimmed positions from 320.09 trillion to as low as 307.95 trillion in late March.

However, the buying activity picked up after, with holdings increasing to 310.1 trillion on April 12.

Whales in the 1 million to 10 million range moved in the opposite direction. Those wallets added 5.56 trillion tokens during the same period, bringing their holdings to 166.94 trillion.

Wallets in the 100,000-1 million bracket followed a similar trajectory. Their holdings grew 5% from 96.59 trillion to 101.46 trillion. 

BeInCrypto previously reported that the top 297 holders on the leaderboard will earn a seat at the conference. The 29 largest wallets receive VIP access to a private reception with the president.

TRUMP surged over 50% following the March announcement, briefly touching $4.49. However, the token has since given back all of those gains. It traded at approximately $2.8 on April 12.

Overall, in 2026, the meme coin is down by more than 41% and has lost more than 11% over the past month alone. With the event less than two weeks away, the gap between ongoing whale accumulation and falling prices sets up a volatile stretch for TRUMP holders.
