$TRUMP Promises Private Dinner to Top Meme Coin Buyers
President Donald Trump is offering a private dinner to the biggest buyers of his meme# coin, $TRUMP. The coin's value jumped over 50% on Wednesday after the news came out.
The top 220 coin holders will be invited to a fancy dinner with Trump on May 22 at his private club near Washington. The top 25 will get even more — a special meet-and-greet before the dinner and a VIP tour the next day. An earlier version of the website said the tour would be at the White House, but that detail is no longer there.
This is one of Trump’s latest moves in the world of cryptocurrency. He and his wife launched meme coins around the time of his inauguration. They’re also involved in a crypto exchange called World Liberty Financial.
The Trump administration supports crypto and has loosened some rules set during the Biden years. They even started a national bitcoin reserve.
Some of Trump’s team said they were surprised by the dinner offer, as it wasn’t widely shared before showing up online. The White House hasn't given a clear answer yet, but a spokesperson told Reuters there's no conflict of interest because Trump’s money is managed by his kids.
