President Donald Trump is putting another dinner on the table for the biggest backers of his TRUMP meme coin, just weeks after a fight over his crypto interests helped sink the crypto industry's top legislative priority.
The official account for the TRUMP meme coin announced Wednesday on X that the token's top holders will attend a "gala dinner" with the president and three as-yet-unnamed "superstars" on Nov. 22. The event will take place at Trump National, the Washington-area Virginia golf club that hosted the token's first dinner last year, and it extends a format that has turned a seat near the president into the token's headline perk.
Seats are reserved for the top 185 registered holders, according to the event page run by Fight Fight Fight LLC, the company behind the coin — a slightly smaller guest list than the 220 who attended the first dinner. Holders are ranked by a time-weighted score that rewards holding more tokens for longer, with a final snapshot scheduled for Nov. 12, meaning the leaderboard will remain in flux until then. The top 29 will receive a VIP reception with Trump and one of the guest "legends," while the top four will be awarded an 18-karat gold Trump watch.
Private face time, however, is not on offer. "No attendees will be granted a private meet & greet with the President," the page states.
The announcement lands just over two weeks after the Clarity Act, which aimed to establish federal rules for crypto markets, failed a key procedural vote in the Senate on Sept. 15 by a margin of 49-50. Restrictions on Trump's crypto holdings were a central sticking point in the bill's failure, and with the measure stalled, the market-structure framework it envisioned remains unrealized.
The final ethics language, which Trump signed off on, would have required covered officials to divest their crypto interests or place them in a qualified blind trust. Democrats said that did not go far enough. Hours before the vote, they sought tighter rules on large crypto holdings, dependent children, and paid crypto promotions. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., argued the language left loopholes that would let the president keep profiting from some of his existing crypto ventures.
The meme coin is among the most lucrative of those ventures, and it is the reason the dinners carry political weight. Trump's latest financial disclosure showed he earned just over $635 million from the in 2025, almost entirely from licensing royalties. His total crypto income topped $1.2 billion, though some estimates place it above $1.4 billion.
The Nov. 22 dinner will be the third such event. The first, held in May 2025 at the same Virginia club, drew the token's top 220 holders, and the 25 VIPs among them had spent an average of $4.8 million. Trump stayed for about an hour, leaving some attendees feeling shortchanged, while more than 100 protesters gathered outside. At an April conference at Mar-a-Lago, one attendee told Decrypt he had qualified after buying just $3,000 worth of the token — showing how small a buy-in has been enough to qualify for access.
TRUMP is currently trading around $2.04, at a market capitalization of $576 million, down more than 97% since its launch in January 2025. Like most meme coins, the token has no underlying product revenue, leaving its value tied to community attention and events like these dinners rather than to fundamentals such as fees or cash flows.
