Trump’s Gala Dinner with $TRUMP Memecoin Holders Set for May 22

Former President Donald Trump has confirmed that a private gala dinner will take place on May 22, 2025, at Trump National Golf Club in Washington, D.C., exclusively for the top 220 holders of the $TRUMP memecoin. The event is part of a fundraising effort for his political action committee, MAGA Inc. In addition to the main dinner, the top 25 holders will have access to a VIP reception, including a photo opportunity and a special tour of the venue.

Each attendee will receive a commemorative NFT minted on the Solana blockchain. The announcement of the gala has sparked a 53% increase in the value of the $TRUMP token, reflecting heightened interest in the event.

The $TRUMP token, launched earlier this year, has generated over $320 million in trading fees. Critics, however, have raised concerns about the ethical implications of such events, pointing out that the dinner blurs the lines between Trump’s personal, political, and official roles. The initiative follows a previous fundraising event at the same venue, which raised $1.5 million per person.

While Trump has claimed to be detached from the financial dealings of the token, his team continues to heavily promote the coin, further fueling participation. As the date of the gala approaches, the intersection of cryptocurrency, politics, and ethics remains a key point of discussion.
