Pump.fun Burns $370M in PUMP Tokens, Commits 50% of Future Net Revenue to Automated Buyback-and-Burn

Pump.fun has burned roughly $370 million worth of previously repurchased PUMP tokens, wiping out about 36% of the token's circulating supply. The burn was executed Tuesday in two on-chain transactions confirmed at 20:52 UTC. At the same time, the Solana-based token launchpad said it has locked 50% of all future net revenue into an irreversible smart contract that will automatically buy PUMP on the open market and burn 100% of the purchased tokens. The program is set to run autonomously for the next 12 months. Pump.fun said its prior approach—routing 100% of revenue into buybacks over the past nine months—failed to build community confidence. The platform attributed the trust gap to uncertainty over what would ultimately happen to the repurchased tokens, despite continued business performance. Tuesday's burn was positioned as a direct attempt to remove that ambiguity by permanently destroying the full stockpile of bought-back tokens. Under the new framework, the automated mechanism spans all three revenue streams—Bonding Curve, PumpSwap, and Terminal. The platform outlined the flow as follows: fees are generated across the product suite; 50% of net revenue is sent automatically to intermediary wallets; those wallets periodically consolidate into dedicated buyback-and-burn addresses; market purchases are executed; and tokens are burned immediately upon receipt. Pump.fun said the process is fully transparent and trackable in real time at fees.pump.fun, requires no human intervention, and will execute without board action or separate public announcements ahead of each burn.
