Trump to Host Third Exclusive Crypto Dinner for Top Coin Holders

Donald Trump is again offering exclusive access to his supporters, planning a "crypto dinner" later this year at his Virginia golf club for top holders of the $TRUMP memecoin. This marks the third major event hosted for buyers of the cryptocurrency.

The top 185 holders of the $TRUMP memecoin will receive invitations to the event, which is promoted as the "Most EXCLUSIVE DINNER IN THE WORLD." Additionally, the 29 highest holders will be eligible for a "special VIP reception."

The $TRUMP coin is described as a memecoin, a type of digital asset built on a cryptocurrency's blockchain but not a fully featured cryptocurrency like Bitcoin. Its value has significantly decreased since early last year, but ownership grants holders a chance to attend events with Trump.

This upcoming dinner follows two previous gatherings. In May 2025, a similar dinner was held at his Virginia club. Earlier this year, Trump delivered a keynote speech at a "crypto and business conference" at Mar-a-Lago.

Beyond the $TRUMP coin, Trump and his family have been involved in other crypto ventures. This includes another memecoin, $MELANIA, and a crypto firm called World Liberty Financial. Last year, a member of the United Arab Emirates royal family reportedly invested $500 million in World Liberty Financial.

While Trump does not directly own the company minting the $TRUMP coin, he reportedly profits significantly from transaction fees and other revenue streams. Financial disclosure forms filed earlier this year indicated that Trump earned $636 million from these sources in the previous year. His ownership stake in World Liberty Financial, along with his sons and other partners, yielded an estimated $799 million in profits in 2025 alone.
