The largest holder of President Trump's cryptocurrency token is entrepreneur Justin Sun, the billionaire revealed Tuesday — earning him an invite to a controversial dinner this week hosted by Mr. Trump for his meme coin's biggest backers.
Sun announced he will attend Thursday evening's dinner at Mr. Trump's D.C.-area golf club — which is open to the 220 largest holders of the $TRUMP meme coin — in a post on X, describing himself as the president's "TOP fan."As the top holder of $TRUMP, I'm excited to connect with everyone, talk crypto, and discuss the future of our industry," wrote Sun, who founded the Tron blockchain and faced a securities lawsuit from Biden-era federal regulators.
The meme coin's website lists the largest holder of $TRUMP as somebody with the username "Sun" who owns about 1.4 million tokens — worth around $19 million at Tuesday's trading price.
In addition to the dinner for the top 220 holders of $TRUMP, the president is also hosting an "Exclusive Reception" at his club in Northern Virginia for the token's top 25 holders. Sun did not immediately respond when asked by CBS News if he would attend the smaller reception.$TRUMP
