What to Expect from Donald Trump’s Exclusive Crypto Dinner Tonight
Donald Trump is hosting a high-profile crypto dinner today, and the whole crypto world is watching. Why? Because this isn’t just another gala—it’s the first time a U.S. President is openly supporting crypto with a meme coin of his own: $TRUMP
Trump’s Crypto Comeback
Since launching the $TRUMP coin at the start of his second presidency, Trump has dived headfirst into crypto—NFTs, tokens, and blockchain ventures. Today’s Trump Gala Dinner is a celebration of that push and a strategic move that’s putting crypto right at the center of U.S. politics.
Event Details: When, Where, and Who’s Coming
The Trump crypto dinner is happening tonight, May 22, 2024, at the Trump National Golf Club in Potomac Falls, Virginia.
Guests: 220 top $TRUMP holders
Dinner Starts: 7:00 PM (after a 5:30 PM check-in & security screening)
VIP Bonus: The top 25 holders will get an exclusive White House tour.
The identities of attendees haven’t been fully disclosed, but wallet addresses and on-chain data show a global mix of investors.
Big Money, Big Buzz
Chainalysis reports say Trump’s team made $900K in fees just days after announcing the dinner contest. The top 220 holders combined have spent nearly $394M, averaging over $1.7M each.
Controversy and Criticism
Some are calling the event a “pay-for-access” scheme. Critics like Robert Reich call it political corruption, especially since 19 of the top 25 interacted with Binance, which isn’t operating in the U.S. Eric Trump, however, brushed off protest rumors, claiming “they’re paid actors.”
