"To make a dent in the U.S. Debt": Shark Tank mentor Mark Cuban shares the possibility of issuing "meme coins" with a twist

Shark Tank investor Mark Cuban recently shared a post via X (formerly Twitter) about helping and making a "dent" in the US Debt using a twist in "meme coins." Entrepreneurs must be aware of Doland Trump's meme coin, also called $Trump, launched earlier this year on January 17, 2025.

Soon after its release, the overall market value for $Trump reached around $14.5 billion by January 19, a day before his inauguration. Referring to the meme coins, Mark Cuban shared a Tweet suggesting a "twist" with which he wanted to help with the US Debt.

Shark Tank investor's Tweet on January 21, 2025, stated:

"If meme coins are the way, maybe I’ll issue one. With a twist. Same terms as $TRUMP. 20% float. Same release schedule. One difference. All the revenue from the sale of the coins go to the US Treasury. The wallet address will be published so everyone can track it. If you want to gamble, gamble. But at least use it to make a dent in the US Debt."

Shark Tank's Mark Cuban suggests a "twist" in meme coin towards helping the US debt

According to the Shark Tank investor Mark Cuban, there is a way for everyone to help make a "dent" in the US debt. As he suggested in his Tweet, similar to the $Trump, a meme coin would be released per the schedule, but with one difference.

Mark stated that the difference would be that the revenue from the meme coin's sale would go to the US Treasury. For those who might be wondering how to track, the investor also had thoughts on it.

Mark mentioned that "wallet addressed" would also be published. Hence, there would be total transparency. As a result, everyone can keep track of everything, including transactions.

After he shared his thoughts about a potential way of helping with the US debt, it received tons of comments from X users, fans, entrepreneurs, and more. The investor also interacted with some of them.

When journalist Brian Krassenstein suggested dividing the revenue between the US treasury and lowering the "price of prescription drugs," Mark replied:

"Wouldn't want to pick favorites. Everyone benefits from lower debt."

Another user inquired about ensuring transparency and "trust in the process" and how individuals would know that the generated revenue was "truly" going to the US treasury. The Shark Tank mentor replied:

"Publish the wallet address. So every transaction can be seen"

According to the US Treasury, the US national debt has reached $36.22 trillion. After Mark shared the Tweet, it sparked a debate among X users and received reactions from many entrepreneurs and individuals.

Entrepreneurs must know how Donald Trump's $Trump meme coin gained 1000% growth in the first two days.
