In brief
- Trump Billionaires Club is slated to launch at the end of this year on iOS and Android.
- Players can earn the TRUMP meme coin via the game, with $1 million worth to be offered up as rewards.
- The board game-style mobile game will let players make deals and work their way up a leaderboard of billionaires.
A licensed Donald Trump-themed mobile crypto game will debut at the end of this year, according to a post Tuesday on X from the account behind the official Trump meme coin on the Solana blockchain.
The project describes Trump Billionaires Club as “the first and only Trump mobile game for true Trump fans,” and said the game will offer players “a chance to get a share of $1 million in TRUMP coin rewards.”
According to its website, the game plays as a “3D board game where every roll, deal, and decision builds your path to the top.” The gameplay centers on “rolls, luck, and smart decisions” as players climb a “billionaire ladder.” Both crypto and non-crypto versions will be available, though details on how rewards are earned are currently unclear.
Trump Billionaires Club will be available on mobile and web, and does not require any crypto setup. The game is being launched in partnership with the web3 gaming platform Open Loot, co-founded by Decentraland co-founder Ari Meilich.
Officially, the title is a product of Freedom45Games LLC, which holds a license to use Trump’s name. The site notes that the game is “not designed, manufactured, distributed or sold by Donald J. Trump, The Trump Organization, or any of their respective affiliates or principals.”
Freedom45Games LLC was registered last year in Wyoming and uses the same registered agents—Cloud Peak Law—as several other Trump-branded ventures, including Trump watch seller TheBestWatchesonEarth, sneaker company 45Footwear, and one of the Trump meme coin entities, Celebration Cards LLC.
The ultimate owners of Freedom45Games remain unclear. A letter from Senator Richard Blumenthal earlier this year, however, linked the TRUMP meme coin company Fight Fight Fight LLC to longtime Trump ally and entrepreneur Bill Zanker, with whom he co-authored a book in 2007.
The company also states that “the website offerings are not affiliated with any cryptocurrency offering, are not political, and have nothing to do with any political campaign,” despite multiple references to TRUMP and the company name invoking the 45th and 47th U.S. president.
Players can also “turn progress into ownership,” the website claims, with milestones converted into digital collectibles. However, the terms and conditions clarify that all content is owned by Freedom45Games LLC and that players are not granted any ownership rights in the game or its system.
This is not the only Trump-themed crypto game out there. In January, the unofficial Trump’s Empire launched on Telegram, closely resembling X Empire, an Elon Musk-themed game released the year prior. Players begin with a construction company and repeatedly tap to generate income, later unlocking automation and new businesses as they progress.
The news has had little impact so far on the price of TRUMP, the Solana meme coin that was currently trading at $5.76, according to CoinGecko, down nearly 3% over the last 24 hours. It achieved its all-time high price of $73.43 on January 19—shortly after launch—and has since dropped 92% to its recent price.
