Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirmed in late May that the department has prepared designs and mockups for a commemorative $250 bill featuring President Trump to mark the Semiquincentennial, but emphasized that issuance requires congressional action to amend longstanding federal law restricting currency portraits to deceased individuals. The related Donald J. Trump $250 Bill Act (H.R. 1761), introduced in February 2025, remains stalled in the House Financial Services Committee with no floor vote or further progress reported as of mid-June. With only six months left in the calendar year and significant procedural steps needed for passage, enactment, and production, traders assign just an 8-9% implied probability to official issuance by December 31, 2026.

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.
