Buyers of $TRUMP meme coin pay millions to win dinner with President Trump
- President Donald Trump is hosting an exclusive dinner today at Trump National Golf Club for the top 220 holders of the TRUMP meme cryptocurrency.
- The TRUMP meme coin launched in January 2025 amid controversy, with 80 percent of tokens controlled by Trump-affiliated entities and concerns about cash-for-access.
- The coin, valued over $3 billion, has sharply declined from its $45 peak, with large investors profiting nearly $1.5 billion while hundreds of thousands of smaller holders suffered losses.
- Experts warn that meme coins like TRUMP lack regulation and full risk disclosure, with some lawmakers investigating potential ethics violations and conflicts of interest involving Trump's crypto ventures.
- The dinner and token project highlight ongoing concerns about crypto regulation, financial benefit to Trump's family, and accusations that wealthy actors may buy privileged access through the coin.
