Donald Trump’s offer of an exclusive dinner for top holders of the TRUMP token sent shockwaves across the crypto community. The event, slated to take place at his Washington golf club, triggered a surge in demand. This move by a high-profile politician has turned heads, mixing politics and crypto in a way few imagined.
Trump’s Dinner and the Token’s Surge
President Trump will give an exclusive dinner on May 22, 2025, at his Washington golf club for the top 220 TRUMP token holders. To qualify, holders must rank in the top 220 by May 12, verified by connecting their wallets on the official TRUMP token website. The top 25 will gain VIP access to a pre-dinner event and a White House tour. The event is invitation-only with no guests able to attend. Attendees must pass background checks and cover their own travel and accommodation expenses, assuring a secure and private meeting.
The TRUMP token jumped over 70% after Trump announced his special dinner for elite holders. Trading volumes rose as investors hurried to boost their holdings to guarantee a spot, sending the token to its highest level since early March 2025. After the rise, $TRUMP steadied around $13, maintaining robust market activity. The increase reflects growing investor excitement spurred by political events and the promise of exclusive access, keeping the token’s volatility high.
The Dinner’s Security Measures
Strict security is vital for the TRUMP token dinner. Invitations allow one person only, no guests. Attendees undergo background checks and wallet verification, ensuring only legitimate top holders join and protecting the event’s exclusivity and integrity.
Launched on January 17, 2025, the TRUMP token is a Solana-based meme coin related to Donald Trump’s second presidential term. Of the 1 billion tokens, 200 million are public. The remaining 800 million are held by Trump-affiliated firms and will be released progressively over three years to prevent rapid sell-offs. This release plan aims to build lasting value and trust, avoiding the short-term hype seen in many meme coins.
A recent unlock began, releasing $311 million worth of tokens to the market until 2028. Many investors sold shortly after the first unlock and missed the gains that came with the dinner news. To promote price stability, future unlocks are postponed by 90 days, encouraging holders to keep tokens longer amid increasing interest.
