The team managing the Official TRUMP memecoin has revealed plans for a second exclusive gathering targeting its largest token holders — a formal luncheon event featuring President Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago property in Palm Beach, Florida, set for April 25.
The revelation was made public on Thursday, March 12. According to the announcement, the 297 largest token holders will receive invitations, with the top 29 also granted exclusive access to a private meet-and-greet with Trump. The TRUMP token’s official website identifies Trump as the event’s keynote speaker.
Nevertheless, a White House spokesperson informed Politico that this gathering hasn’t been officially confirmed on the president’s calendar. The proposed date also conflicts with Trump’s publicly announced intention to attend the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
Qualifying participants must satisfy specific criteria determined by time-weighted token ownership calculated between March 12 and April 10. Additionally, all participants will undergo mandatory background screening prior to admission.
The token experienced a modest price surge immediately after the announcement, rising from a record low of $2.73 to reach $3.06 before declining. Currently, TRUMP trades between $2.94 and $2.98, representing approximately a 2% daily increase.
TRUMP Token Continues Struggling Far Below January High
Notwithstanding the recent uptick, the token’s value remains approximately 96% lower than its January 2025 all-time high of $73.43. That pinnacle occurred shortly after the token’s debut, just days before Trump’s presidential inauguration ceremony.
When the initial dinner was announced in April 2025, the token was valued at roughly $13 on average. Since that time, it has experienced a dramatic decline.
Trading activity for the token reached its most significant level since February 20, 2026, coinciding with the gala announcement.
The inaugural gathering for TRUMP token investors took place at a Trump-owned golf facility in May 2025. Notable attendees included Tron creator Justin Sun, reportedly among the largest stakeholders. Infinex founder Kain Warwick also participated after acquiring sufficient tokens to secure a top 25 position on the holder rankings.
Critics and Demonstrators Have Voiced Opposition
The previous dinner event prompted demonstrations outside the location. Bloomberg reported that protesters confronted guests upon their arrival. Among the demonstrators were U.S. senators and former congressional staff members.
Democratic politicians voiced strong opposition to the gathering, contending that Trump was generating revenue from a cryptocurrency token while simultaneously appointing industry regulators and supporting crypto-friendly legislation. These concerns resulted in congressional delays for pending cryptocurrency-related legislation.
The token’s issuer notes on its website that the project “is not political and has nothing to do with any political campaign or any political office or governmental agency,” and states there will be “no private meetings with the President and no solicitations.”
Mar-a-Lago previously hosted a cryptocurrency conference last month, coordinated by World Liberty Financial — another digital asset venture co-owned by Trump and his family members.
