Summary
- The top 185 holders of the TRUMP meme coin will join President Trump for a gala dinner at his Virginia golf club on November 22, though no individual meetings with him will be allowed.
- This event comes shortly after the Clarity Act's failure in the Senate on September 15, where limitations on Trump's cryptocurrency assets were a major issue.
- In 2025, Trump reportedly made over $635 million from the meme coin, primarily through licensing fees, according to his financial disclosures.
President Donald Trump is set to host another dinner for his prominent meme coin supporters, just weeks after a legislative battle regarding his cryptocurrency interests contributed to the downfall of a key bill for the industry.
The TRUMP meme coin's official account announced on X that the top holders will participate in a "gala dinner" with Trump and three yet-to-be-disclosed "superstars" on November 22. This gathering will take place at Trump National, the Virginia golf club that previously held the token's inaugural dinner in 2024.
According to the event page managed by Fight Fight Fight LLC, which oversees the coin, the top 185 registered holders will receive invitations based on a time-weighted scoring system that favors those who have held more tokens for extended periods, with a cutoff snapshot on November 12.
The 29 highest-ranking holders will enjoy a VIP reception alongside Trump and one of the special guests, while the top four will be awarded an 18-karat gold Trump watch.
However, attendees should not expect to have personal interactions with the President, as the event page clearly states, "No attendees will be granted a private meet & greet with the President."
This announcement follows closely after the Clarity Act, which proposed to establish federal regulations for the crypto market, failed to pass a critical Senate vote by a narrow margin of 49-50. The proposed limitations on Trump's cryptocurrency holdings were a significant point of contention during the discussions.
Trump's financial reports indicate that he earned approximately $635 million from the meme coin in 2025, primarily through licensing royalties. His overall crypto earnings reportedly exceed $1.2 billion, with some estimates suggesting the total could be as high as $1.4 billion.
The upcoming dinner marks the third such event, with the first taking place in May 2025, where the top 220 holders attended, and the 25 VIPs among them averaged investments of around $4.8 million. Trump participated for roughly an hour, leaving some attendees feeling dissatisfied, while over 100 protesters were present outside the venue. At a previous event in April at Mar-a-Lago, one participant mentioned qualifying for the dinner after purchasing only $3,000 worth of the token.
Currently, the TRUMP meme coin is trading at approximately $2.04, with a market capitalization of $576 million, reflecting a decline of over 97% since its launch in January 2025.
