The Trump Coin (TRUMP) made headlines this week after an explosive 70% price surge on April 23, 2025, triggered by news of an exclusive dinner event featuring former President Donald Trump. The dinner, scheduled for May 22 in Washington, D.C., is being touted as a high-profile gathering for the token’s top holders. Only the top 220 TRUMP holders will receive invitations, while the top 25 will gain access to a private VIP reception and a curated tour of a historically significant government building, billed as the “White House Experience.”
Following the announcement, TRUMP briefly hit $16.17—its highest price since March—before stabilizing at $13.39, still representing a massive jump from its previous levels. The token, launched earlier this year to coincide with Trump’s inauguration, has been promoted as the “official” meme coin of the 45th president. The event has generated massive buzz on social media, with supporters, speculators, and critics alike weighing in on what some view as a blend of political celebrity and tokenomics.
This isn’t the Trump family’s first foray into crypto. Melania Trump recently launched her own $Melania token, and both are involved in Liberty One Financial, a firm focused on launching a U.S.-based stablecoin alternative. These initiatives mark a broader strategic move by the Trumps to stake their claim in the growing blockchain and Web3 sectors. Despite early skepticism surrounding TRUMP’s legitimacy and potential, the combination of community hype and real-world utility appears to be giving the token momentum.
The exclusive dinner is not without caveats. Attendees must undergo background checks and meet KYC (Know Your Customer) compliance, including restrictions for individuals from sanctioned regions. While the TRUMP token’s value will undoubtedly fluctuate with market dynamics, events like this illustrate how political branding and digital assets are becoming increasingly intertwined. As May approaches, all eyes will be on both the dinner and whether TRUMP can sustain its newfound bullish momentum in the ever-volatile world of crypto.
