I support the decision to burn the buyback $pump
50% of the revenue to buyback and burn is even better.
So the other 50% of the fee is kept as $SOL and used as and when needed?
today is a turning point for $PUMP and pump fun
I want to give more context on the bigger picture and where we're actually going.
over the past ~9 months, 100% of revenue went into buybacks. basically no other platform in crypto has done that at this scale.
however, we received ongoing feedback specifically on the feeling of a lack of trust - in the certainty of buybacks, in what would happen to the bought-back tokens, even in whether the business itself would be here in a year.
today, weโre changing that.
it started with burning ~$370M worth of $PUMP purchases. ~36% of the circulating supply removed from circulation, forever.
but that isnโt enough. weโve also allocated 50% of our next year of revenue to programmatic buybacks & burns. no more uncertainty for those who believe in us & those weโre proud to call our community.
but why not 100%? the short answer is the business simply needs the other 50% to grow.
a large treasury gives us the flexibility to make big bets over the next 5-10 years, and 50% of ongoing revenue enables us to build better products, infrastructure & reinvest into the ecosystem. I am extremely confident that 50% of the business we're building toward will dwarf 100% of the business we have today.
Finally @pumpfun decided to burn all the $pump token that they bought back.
Starting 29/4/26, they will buy back and burn using 50% of the revenue daily.
The future of $PUMP
We have burned ALL bought back $PUMP tokens, around $370M worth of purchases (~36% of circulating supply), to gain trust with our community.
On top of that, we have initiated a programmatic buyback *and burn* scheme at 50% of revenue for the next year to instill trust, predictability, and sustainability for the underlying ecosystem - and to remove as much of the supply from circulation as possible.
$PUMP is changing; for the better of token holders, the team and the ecosystem.
