Donald Trump will host the biggest holders of a cryptocurrency he launched earlier this year for dinner, the company overseeing the currency said Wednesday, sending its price surging.

"Get $TRUMP. Have Dinner with President TRUMP!" suggests a promotional message posted on the official website of the cryptocurrency named after the US president.

The $TRUMP memecoin was launched at the end of January, a few hours before the Republican billionaire's inauguration.
