- Martin Shkreli claims responsibility for the DJT token, created with Barron Trump.
- Blockchain sleuth ZachXBT finds evidence linking Shkreli to DJT cryptocurrency.
- The Trump campaign remains silent amid Shkreli’s DJT token revelation and $150K bounty.
Martin Shkreli, the infamous “Pharma Bro,” has stepped forward to claim responsibility for the creation of the DJT token. This Solana-based cryptocurrency, which bears the name of former President Donald Trump, has been making waves recently. But what led Shkreli to reveal his involvement?
Just days ago, Shkreli vehemently denied any connection to DJT. However, a series of events unfolded that forced him to come clean. First, crypto trader GCR challenged Shkreli with a jaw-dropping $100 million bet on the token’s authenticity.
This bet, initially proposed by another influential trader, Alex Wice, caught the attention of the crypto community. Blockchain sleuth ZachXBT then entered the scene, uncovering evidence linking Shkreli to DJT.
Shkreli Drops the Bombshell
In a direct message to ZachXBT, Shkreli revealed that he has 1000 pieces of evidence, noting that he created the DJT token together with Barron. Yes, you read that right—Barron Trump, the former president’s son, was allegedly involved in the DJT token’s genesis. Shkreli later confirmed this revelation during his X Spaces podcast.

GCR, a known Trump supporter, publicly questioned the token’s legitimacy. He demanded that Donald J. Trump should confirm his role in launching this meme coin.
Trump Campaign Remains Silent
As the drama unfolded, on-chain intelligence firm Arkham stepped in. They posted a $150,000 bounty for anyone who could definitively unveil the DJT token’s creator. The race was on, and the crypto community eagerly awaited the big reveal.
Curiously, the Trump campaign has yet to issue an official statement regarding DJT. Despite the fervor surrounding the token, the former president’s team has remained tight-lipped. Perhaps they’re waiting for more evidence or simply enjoying the spectacle from the sidelines.
