On May 22, 2025, the Trump National Golf Club in Virginia will host a special event for the top 220 holders of the TRUMP meme coin. This private dinner, starting at 7 p.m., invites the biggest investors of the TRUMP coin launched by Donald Trump himself during his second presidency.
Here’s what to expect from the event?
What’s on the Agenda?
About two weeks ago, President Trump offered a special invite to the top 220 holders of his TRUMP coin—a fancy dinner at his golf club near Washington, D.C., and a White House tour the next day.
But that’s not all—out of those 220 guests, the top 25 holders will receive an exclusive VIP tour of the White House with Trump himself.
However, the discussions about the future of crypto regulations and industry growth are expected, as Trump has shown ongoing interest in shaping crypto policies.
Who Will Be The Attendees?
In total, these 220 attendees have spent nearly $394 million on TRUMP coins, an average of $1.79 million each. Some major crypto names are joining Trump’s dinner. Leading the list is Justin Sun, founder of Tron, who holds $75 million worth of TRUMP coins.
Another major guest is the mysterious co-founder of MemeCore, a crypto company from Singapore. Though not much is known about them, they’re among the top holders.
Also on the guest list is Australian crypto investor Kain Warwick, who founded Infinex. Interestingly, 19 of the top 25 holders used Binance, a platform currently not operating legally in the U.S.
Political Backlash and Controversies
Despite the excitement, the dinner faces criticism, some people are calling it a “pay-for-access” event. Trump’s team reportedly earned about $900,000 in fees soon after announcing the contest for invitations.
Senator Chris Murphy said the dinner is like a secret meeting where rich people, maybe even from other countries, could try to influence Trump. Even critics like former official Robert Reich have openly called the event corrupt.
Will TRUMP Coin’s Price Be Affected?
Today’s dinner is more than just a social event, it could influence the TRUMP meme coin massively. Since its launch in January 2025, the TRUMP coin quickly hit a $15 billion market cap before experiencing a sharp drop.
However, news of the gala dinner helped boost the coin again, pushing its price to about $14.60, and it is up by 14% in the last 24 hours, with a market cap of $2.92 billion.
Many experts believe the coin could climb further, possibly reaching $25 or more, as bullish trends strengthen in the crypto market.
