đ¨ TRUMP SELLS ACCESS FOR CRYPTO CASHâDINNER WITH THE PRESIDENT GOES TO HIGHEST BIDDERS đ¨
Donald Trump is turning cryptocurrency into his latest cash machineâoffering dinner with himself as the prize.
Buyers have poured tens of millions into the $TRUMP meme coin after his team announced that the top 220 purchasers will be invited to an âintimate private dinnerâ next month at Trump National Golf Club in Washington, D.C. Nearly two dozen crypto wallets have each acquired more than 100,000 coinsâtotaling roughly $100 million in just days.
The coin jumped over 60% following the announcement. The top 25 holders are promised a VIP reception and a âspecial tourââbut buried in the terms is a catch: Trump âmay not be able to attend.â In that case, winners will receive a limited-edition Trump NFT.
Jim Heath, a longtime political journalist, called it âunprecedented.â
âThe level of grift from this president and his family, and how theyâve cashed in on the presidency, is staggering. Any other administration would face immediate investigationsâbut with Trump, there are always so many fires burning at once that scandals like this slip through the cracks.â
The Trump familyâs broader push into crypto now includes a new exchange, World Liberty Financial, and a pivot to digital finance by Trump Media & Technology Group, where Trump holds a $3 billion stake. At the same time, his administration has moved quickly to roll back crypto enforcement and weaken oversightâfueling alarm about insider access and conflicts of interest.
Meanwhile, the $TRUMP coin itself has been a rollercoasterâskyrocketing to $74 before crashing to $7 earlier this month. A scheduled release of 40 million new tokens was expected to tank its value even furtherâuntil the team abruptly delayed that release by 90 days, keeping prices temporarily afloat.
