Barstool Sports founder and internet personality Dave Portnoy has struck gold—thanks to President-elect Donald Trump’s trending crypto meme coin, $TRUMP. Portnoy, known for his bold bets and controversial takes, invested $500,000 into the meme-driven token and woke up to a 200% return overnight.
“I just woke up. Checked $TRUMP coin. I’m up 200% since I bought it yesterday. Sold it. Made a quick milly,” Portnoy posted on X (formerly Twitter). “Prob gonna put it on the Bills tonight. I love Trump’s America! Now I’m back to sleep.”
After cashing out a cool $1 million profit in less than 12 hours, Portnoy confirmed he placed the entire amount on the Buffalo Bills to win Super Bowl 2025 at +550 odds—potentially turning his meme coin success into a $5.5 million payday.
“I made a quick million bucks from 5 PM to like 5 AM,” he said in a follow-up video. “What do you do when you’re plus-a-milly? Let’s go Buffalo. They are f–king due.”
