Legislation introduced in early 2025 to authorize a $250 bill featuring a living president remains stalled in the House Financial Services Committee, with no floor votes or Senate action as of September 2026. Federal statutes require congressional approval for new denominations and currently bar portraits of living individuals on currency, creating dual barriers that Treasury planning and mock-ups cannot bypass without explicit statutory changes. Recent Democratic calls for inspector general review of agency resources devoted to prototypes have added procedural friction, while Republican lawmakers have shown limited appetite for advancing the measure amid competing priorities. Trader consensus reflects the narrow remaining calendar window and historical patterns of currency redesigns requiring broad bipartisan support. Late-session passage or an unexpected amendment rider could still shift the outcome before year-end.

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.
