ZachXBT Uncovers Creator of Trump-Themed DJT Token, Set to Earn $150K Bounty
The mystery surrounding the viral Trump-themed DJT token on Solana may have been solved, as blockchain investigator ZachXBT said controversial entrepreneur Martin Shkreli has claimed to be one of the project’s creators.
In a post on X, ZachXBT stated that Shkreli directly messaged him, claiming he had over 1,000 pieces of evidence proving he co-created DJT along with someone named “Barron,” potentially referring to Barron Trump – Donald Trump’s youngest son.

The announcement from Shkreli came shortly after ZachXBT publicly applied for the $150,000 bounty from blockchain data platform Arkham to identify DJT’s true creator.
The DJT token, featuring imagery of former U.S. President Donald Trump, had gone viral and sparked speculation about its origins.
ZachXBT provided further on-chain evidence allegedly linking Shkreli to DJT. He highlighted a wallet holding a large DJT stake that sold off $832,000 tokens for the USDC stablecoin.
Notably, this same wallet also held tokens from Shkreli’s Shoggoth.ai project.
