Trump Family Sells Up to $12,000 Freedom 250 Medallions Ahead of White House UFC Card

A federal lawsuit alleges the coin sales and licensing arrangements create ethics and conflict‑of‑interest concerns for the June 14 White House event.

Overview

  • The Trump‑branded medallions opened for preorder on Tuesday, June 9 through RealTrumpCoins.com with four versions priced roughly $249.99 to $11,999.99 and a waitlist for early sign‑ups.
  • Product pages portray the pieces as UFC‑linked collectibles and claim they were “designed” by President Trump and “officially licensed,” with the Trump Organization appearing to license the items.
  • Reporting says some proceeds are expected to benefit DTTM Operations LLC, the family licensing company run by Trump’s sons, which watchdogs cite as a key ethics concern.
  • Freedom 250 remains scheduled for June 14 on the White House South Lawn and is the subject of a lawsuit that cites National Park Service rules and questions who financially benefits; the Justice Department has moved to dismiss the case.
  • The release has drawn sharp public criticism and late‑night mockery, and it extends a pattern of Trump‑family merchandising that could influence public trust, legal scrutiny and how sponsors and agencies handle future events on federal grounds.
