Meet ‘Ice,’ ‘Ogle’ and other crypto millionaires who bought a night with Trump

  • The organizers of President Donald Trump's meme coin invited its top 220 purchasers to attend a gala event at his golf club near Washington on Thursday.
  • This event follows a contest whose crypto transaction fees raised millions and attracted primarily anonymous investors linked to the Singapore-based collective MemeCore.
  • MemeCore consists of about 60 members mostly living in China and Southeast Asia, who hold $18 million worth of the coin and secured a seat for a co-founder nicknamed 'Ice'.
  • Cherry Hsu, MemeCore’s chief business development officer, described Trump as an iconic figure in meme culture and mentioned that members playfully expressed a wish for Big Macs to be served at the dinner.
  • The dinner links Trump to global crypto investors aiming to influence his views on industry regulation and leverage presidential access.
