Here’s Who Got Invited to Trump’s Crypto Dinner

May 13, 2025 · 8:25 am ET · Leave a Comment

Wired: “To win a seat under the crystal chandeliers of the great ballroom at the Trump National Golf Club in Washington, the 220 qualifying attendees had to hold or purchase at least 4,196 units of the TRUMP coin—worth about $55,000 at the time of writing.”

“The 25 largest holders will enjoy an even more intimate experience, including a VIP tour and an ‘exclusive reception before dinner with YOUR FAVORITE PRESIDENT,’ according to the website. To qualify for the reception, these VIPs held around 325,000 TRUMP coins on average, worth $4.3 million as of 1:30 pm ET.”

“The biggest spender, an investor going by the name Sun, topped the leaderboard with around 1.43 million TRUMP coins, worth over $19 million.”
