This market will resolve to "Yes" if a $250 bill featuring an image or portrait of Donald Trump is officially issued by the U.S. federal government by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No." Only a $250 bill will qualify. Coins, or other denominations of paper currency will not count. A bill will be considered "officially issued" if the U.S. federal government makes it available for any form of public purchase, order, or distribution. The announcement, proposal, design, or authorization of such a bill without the bill being issued will not count. A qualifying bill must be legal tender. Commemorative notes produced for a limited production run will qualify, provided they carry legal tender status. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the U.S. federal government; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used. Legislative inaction on the Donald J. Trump $250 Bill Act, introduced in February 2025 to authorize a new denomination marking the semiquincentennial, has anchored trader consensus against issuance this year. Federal law requires congressional approval for new denominations and restricts living persons from U.S. currency, and the measure has stalled in the House Financial Services Committee amid limited Republican support and Democratic calls for investigations into Treasury preparations. Early 2025-2026 mock-up work and Treasury statements confirming due diligence have not overcome these procedural and statutory barriers. Passage of authorizing legislation before year-end or unforeseen legal reinterpretations remain the primary scenarios that could shift the outcome.
