Pump.fun Buys Back $58M PUMP Tokens; Price Up 4%

Pump.fun, the oldest and largest memecoin launchpad on the Solana (SOL) ecosystem, has announced another token buyback. During the past week, between August 20th and 26th, the launchpad dedicated its revenue to the PUMP token’s repurchase program.

Pump.fun Buys Back $58 Million In PUMP Tokens

According to data from the meme coin launchpad’s website, it has now purchased a total of $58.7 million in PUMP tokens under the buyback program. This represents 4.3% of the token’s total supply. It has a total supply of 1 trillion and a circulating supply of 354 billion.

This development comes after Pump.fun used almost its entire revenue of $10,657,503 last week to buy back $PUMP tokens. The memecoin launchpad noted that it has since reduced the total circulating supply of PUMP tokens by 4.261%.

Meanwhile, this comes just about two weeks after CoinGape reported that the meme coin launchpad had bought back $33 million in PUMP, which represented approximately 1% of the token’s total supply at the time.

PUMP Price Climbs On The News

Amid the announcement of Pump.fun’s buyback, the PUMP price, gained 4% to trade at about $0.003019 during the late North American trading session. Consequently, the PUMP price has rebounded by as much as 20 percent in the past two days.

According to market data from TradingView, PUMP token recorded a 17% surge in its 24-hour average traded volume to hover about $226.3 million. Notably, the mid-cap altcoin, with a fully diluted valuation of about $3 billion, has declined 55.7% from its all-time high (ATH), which was set on July 16, 2025.
