On March 5, data from GMGN Monitoring shows Solana meme coin $memecoin has seen a steady uptick recently, extending gains today to push its market cap to roughly $7 million—currently sitting at $6.5 million—with an 85% 24-hour gain and ~$1.2 million in trading volume.

BlockBeats notes that meme coin trading is highly volatile, heavily reliant on market sentiment and hype, and lacks tangible value or use cases. Investors should exercise caution.

However, subsequent investor disclosures show 2025 actual full-year revenue was ~$13 billion: beating the early $10 billion target but missing the peak $20 billion annualized forecast. Growth slowed in the second half of 2025: CNBC and other outlets estimate mid-year annualized revenue at $10 billion–$13 billion, with year-end annualized at ~$5.5 billion. By contrast, direct rival Anthropic saw its annualized revenue rise from ~$4 billion in mid-2025 to ~$9 billion by year-end (driven by enterprise clients and products like Claude Code).
