On May 22, 2025, the Trump National Golf Club in Virginia will host a special event exclusively for 220 top investors of the meme coin TRUMP – a cryptocurrency launched by former President Donald Trump during his second presidential term.
What’s Special About the Event?
About two weeks ago, Trump extended a special invitation to those holding large amounts of TRUMP coin – a lavish dinner at his private golf course near Washington D.C., starting at 7 PM on May 22, along with a White House tour the following day.
The highlight is that the 25 holders of the most TRUMP coin will get to participate in a VIP tour with Trump himself at the White House. This event is not only a chance to meet and dine but also an opportunity for crypto 'sharks' to discuss the future of the cryptocurrency industry, including policies and new regulations that the Trump administration may propose.
Who Will Attend the Dinner?
A total of 220 guests have invested nearly 394 million USD in TRUMP coin, averaging about 1.79 million USD per person. Among them are many big names in the crypto world:
Justin Sun – the founder of TRON, is holding 75 million USD worth of TRUMP coin.
The anonymous co-founder of MemeCore – a crypto company from Singapore – is also one of the top investors.
Kain Warwick – the founder of the Infinex platform from Australia, is famous in the DeFi community.
Notably, 19 out of the 25 top holders have used the Binance platform – an exchange that is no longer legally operating in the U.S.
Political Controversy and Criticism
Although much anticipated in the crypto community, the event has faced criticism from politicians. Some call it a form of 'paying for access to power.' According to various reports, Trump's team has raised nearly 900,000 USD in transaction fees just days after announcing the invitation program.
Senator Chris Murphy has warned that the event could be a place for the wealthy and foreigners to try to influence the President. Meanwhile, former official Robert Reich bluntly called the event public corruption.
How Will TRUMP Coin Fluctuate?
Not just a party, this event could significantly impact the value of TRUMP coin. Since its launch in January 2025, this coin has reached a market capitalization of 15 billion USD before a sharp drop.
However, news of the dinner and the White House has created a positive effect, with the price of TRUMP coin rising 14% in the past 24 hours, reaching 14.60 USD with a current market capitalization of 2.92 billion USD.
Some experts predict that if the upward trend continues and market sentiment remains positive, the price of TRUMP coin could exceed 25 USD in the near future.
Conclusion
The lavish dinner at Trump National Golf Club is not just a gathering of big players in the crypto industry, but also an iconic event marking the growing influence of cryptocurrency in U.S. politics. TRUMP coin, backed by the current president, is showing that in the digital age, politics and blockchain are becoming more closely intertwined than ever.
