Highlights
Donald Trump crypto dinner is all set to happen today, May 22, 2025, after finally revealing the invite list for the eligible investors. People all around the world participated in the Trump Gala dinner, spending millions on their TRUMP meme coin holdings. Interestingly, it is a once-in-a-lifetime event to meet the US President Donald Trump and likely participate in the development of the industry. What to expect? Let’s discuss.
Back in April, Donald Trump promised a crypto dinner for the top TRUMP meme coin holders. Now, the event is all set to take place today, May 22, 2024, hosting 220 top token holders at Trump National Golf Club in Potomac Falls, Virginia.
Although the exact identity of these holders is not yet available, their wallet addresses are revealed. They will go through a full background check before the event begins at 5:30 p.m. The Trump Gala dinner will start at 7:00 p.m. and end at 10:00 p.m. All these guests will meet the 47th US President, and the top 25 will tour the White House.
Some call it a win situation and a reward for the holder, while others call it a “pay-for-access” scheme. Chainalysis reveals that the Trump team earned $900k in fees within two days of the dinner contest announcement. However, Donald Trump has declared that there is no conflict of interest as his family, not he, handles all these crypto projects.
Trump will host a private dinner tomorrow for the top buyers of his memecoin, which has made him the world’s newest crypto billionaire.
The top 25 coin buyers will get a “VIP White House tour.”
Call it what it is: corruption.

The biggest name among the Donald Trump crypto dinner attendees is Justin Sun, the founder of Tron. He has openly revealed that he is the top holder with $75M holdings.
“As the top holder of $TRUMP, I’m excited to connect with everyone, talk crypto, and discuss the future of our industry.”
The next in line is alleged to be MemeCore, a Singaporean crypto company, followed by Kain Warwick, an Australian crypto investor, and hundreds of others. Interestingly, many of these attendees are non-American.
The Bloomberg reports reveal that 19 out of the top 25 holders interacted with Binance, which is not working in the US. Nansen analysis points out that these top 220 Trump Gala dinner invitees have spent nearly $394M, with an average spend of $1,788,994.42.
Many critics and government professionals have objected to this Trump Gala dinner event. A protest is likely in action, but Eric Trump dismissed these claims, calling most of these people paid to protest.
More importantly, significant discussion could be made on crypto regulation and the development of the industry. Interestingly, this is not Trump’s first crypto event, as he has already hosted one with various crypto industry leaders. A similar discussion could take place this time as well.
Additionally, the meme coin price could rally. The token was launched in January and soared to a $15 billion market cap almost immediately. Although the token crashed massively days after, it regained a massive bounce with the Donald Trump crypto dinner news. The Trump coin is trading at $14.35 with $2.87B in market cap, but investors foresee better.
Many experts’ Trump coin price predictions suggest a further rally to $25 or higher. The bull dominance is building in the crypto market, and TRUMP could benefit amid this key Donald Trump Gala Dinner.
