$TRUMP meme coin, which was launched on 17th January 2025, hits the headlines again as President Donald Trump is hosting the ultimate high-stakes dinner party at his lavish Trump National Golf Club in Washington, D.C., on May 22, 2025.
Dubbed “the most exclusive invitation in the world,” the $TRUMP meme coin gala promises a three-course feast, stunning Potomac River views, and a chance to hear Trump buzz on crypto’s future.
The gala offers 220 top $TRUMP coin holders an intimate dinner with the President, while the top 25 get an ultra-exclusive VIP reception and a special tour.
To snag a seat, investors had to hold significant $TRUMP coins from April 23 to May 12, pass a background check, and not hail from a KYC anti-money laundering watchlist country.
Justin Sun, the Tron founder and top $TRUMP holder with $18.6 million in coins, confirmed his attendance on X, expressing excitement to “connect and talk crypto” with Trump. Some Democrats also raise concerns about most foreigners on the leaderboard.
MemeCore, a Singapore-based crypto network, landed second place with an $18 million stake, with their chief business officer Cherry Hsu joking about hoping for Big Macs at the event. Sheldon Xia of BitMart also celebrated his invite on X, hyping Trump’s pro-crypto vision.
More than half of the top 220 $TRUMP coin holders attending the dinner are non-US residents. Bloomberg reports reveal that 16 out of the top 25 holders are from overseas, raising questions about foreign influence in the event.
This detail has sparked concern among critics and politicians about the role international players might have in this crypto-political mix.
Democrats and ethics watchdogs are sounding alarms. Senator Jon Ossoff called the gala an “impeachable offense,” accusing Trump of selling access for personal gain.
Senator Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn, flagged the coin as a potential conduit for foreign entities to curry favor, citing its $2 billion market cap and the Trump family’s 80% control.
Trump’s dinner party may witness crypto hype with political power, redefining access in the digital generation. As the President courts crypto elites, the event highlights his role from crypto skeptic to self-styled “crypto president.”
But with critics decrying corruption, this dinner could spark more than just blockchain buzz, it might be debated for years to come.
It’s an exclusive event hosted by Donald Trump for top $TRUMP meme coin holders at his Trump National Golf Club on May 22, 2025, to discuss crypto’s future.
To qualify, investors needed to hold significant $TRUMP coins between April 23 and May 12, 2025, pass a background check, and not be from a KYC anti-money laundering watchlist country.
