Trump Plans Third Dinner for His Biggest Meme Coin Fans

The top 185 holders of the TRUMP meme coin will dine with the President on Nov. 22 — but no one gets private face time.

President Donald Trump is hosting another exclusive dinner for the biggest buyers of his personal meme coin (a type of cryptocurrency created mainly for hype and community buzz, often with little practical use). This is the third such event, and it comes shortly after a major crypto law failed in the Senate — partly because of concerns over Trump's own crypto profits.

What's happening? The official TRUMP coin account announced a "gala dinner" on Nov. 22 at Trump National, a golf club in Virginia. The invitation depends on how many tokens you hold and for how long.

Here are the key details:

Seats go to the top 185 holders, ranked by a "time-weighted score" (which rewards holding more coins for a longer period).
The top 29 get a VIP reception with Trump and a celebrity guest.
The top 4 receive an 18-karat gold Trump watch.
A final snapshot of holdings is taken on Nov. 12.
No attendee gets a private one-on-one meeting with the President.

Why it matters: The dinner follows the failure of the Clarity Act — a proposed law meant to set federal rules for crypto markets. It fell short in a Senate vote (49-50) on Sept. 15. A big sticking point was restrictions on Trump's own crypto holdings. Critics, including Senator Elizabeth Warren, argued the rules had loopholes that would let the President keep profiting.

The money involved: Trump's financial disclosure shows he earned a huge amount from crypto in 2025:

Over $635 million from the TRUMP coin alone (mostly from licensing royalties).
Total crypto income topped $1.2 billion, with some estimates above $1.4 billion.

The coin's performance: Despite the big profits for Trump, ordinary buyers haven't fared as well. The TRUMP coin now trades around $2.04 and has fallen more than 97% since it launched in January 2025. Its total value (market cap) sits at about $576 million.

In short: another lavish event rewards the biggest fans, even as the coin's price has collapsed and lawmakers debate whether the President should profit from it.
