Crypto investors are throwing money at Trump’s latest venture – a $TRUMP token dinner that sent prices soaring 70%. The Solana-based memecoin, now worth $14.31, grants the top 220 holders access to an exclusive D.C. golf club dinner with the former president in May 2025. With some wallets holding over $400,000 in tokens and a market cap of $2.86 billion, speculators are betting big on a seat at the table – though Trump’s attendance isn’t even guaranteed.
The ultimate flex in crypto-land just dropped. Former President Donald Trump is hosting an exclusive dinner at his Washington, D.C. golf club, and the only way to snag an invite is by holding his namesake cryptocurrency. The $TRUMP token, a Solana-based memecoin, shot up 70% on the news before settling at a more modest 43% gain, pushing its market cap to a cool $2.86 billion.
Trump’s latest power move: trade crypto for caviar as his Solana-based memecoin becomes the hottest ticket in Washington.
Here’s the deal: The top 220 holders of $TRUMP tokens, based on their average holdings from April 23 to May 12, get a seat at the table on May 22, 2025. The real kicker? The top 25 whales score an extra treat – a private reception and White House tour. Because nothing says “crypto revolution” quite like a black-tie dinner with Trump at his golf club. The token’s journey started when it was launched pre-inauguration in 2017.
But don’t start picking out your tuxedo just yet. The event comes with more strings attached than a puppet show. Mandatory background checks are required, and if you’re from a country on the AML watchlist, tough luck. No plus-ones allowed, and Trump’s attendance isn’t even guaranteed. Talk about FOMO-inducing fine print. While Bitcoin hovers at market anxiety levels, the dinner announcement seems perfectly timed to capitalize on current market uncertainty.
Investors can grab their tokens through the official website using debit cards or crypto, or through platforms like Crypto.com. Just don’t expect to qualify with custodial wallets – it’s self-custody or bust. The price currently sits at $14.31 per token, though good luck figuring out the total supply – those details are mysteriously absent. Some of the largest wallets have amassed over $400,000 worth of the token.
For the crypto enthusiasts who don’t make the cut, there’s a consolation prize: a limited-edition Trump NFT. How generous. The announcement has already triggered the usual crypto market circus – price spikes, speculative trading, and enough media coverage to fill a Mar-a-Lago ballroom. Fox Business, Hindustan Times, and Coinpedia are all over it.
Critics are raising eyebrows about everything from centralization concerns to potential market manipulation. But in typical Trump fashion, the event’s tagline brushes off the skeptics with a characteristic flourish: “Everything we stand for: WINNING!”
