- TRUMP meme coin surged 66% after announcing a dinner invite for top token holders at Trump’s golf club.
- Users must rank in the top 220 wallets by holding TRUMP tokens to qualify for the exclusive event.
- Despite recent sell-off concerns, the coin’s unlocks are now paused and price momentum is picking back up.
President Trump’s official Solana-based meme coin, TRUMP, just exploded in value. And all it took was one dinner invite.
Earlier today, TRUMP jumped almost 66% in under an hour, flying from $9.30 to $14.72, according to CoinGecko. That’s its highest price since early March, and the reason? An exclusive dinner with Trump himself—well, sorta.
Dinner at the Trump Club? Only If You’re a Whale
The team behind TRUMP revealed that holders ranked in the top 220 on the official GetTrumpMemes leaderboard will be invited to a private dinner at Trump National Golf Club in D.C. on May 22. But you can’t just buy a bunch of tokens last minute and expect a seat at the table.
The rankings are time-weighted. That means the more tokens you hold—and for longer between April 23 and May 12—the better your chances. Oh, and you’ve gotta register with your legal name, email, phone number, and connect your Solana wallet. Yep, full KYC vibes here.
At the moment, $362K in TRUMP tokens gets you a spot on the invite list. But weirdly, due to what looks like registration delays, wallets with as little as 1 TRUMP are in the top 80. Expect that leaderboard to shuffle fast as more people hop in.
Oh—and there’s a “VIP Reception” too for the top 25 wallets. That tier currently only takes about 300 tokens to get in. Again, subject to change.
Token Price Pumps Despite Unlock Concerns
This pump follows some not-so-great headlines last week. Wallets tied to the TRUMP project reportedly withdrew $4.6M to Coinbase—just before a big token unlock. Reminder: 80% of the token supply is held by insiders. Not exactly ideal.
Analysts had warned this could tank the price. Instead, it’s now heading in the opposite direction. And according to the project’s X (formerly Twitter) page, all those scheduled unlocks? Paused. For now.
“The tokens from the initial cliff and from the following three months of daily unlocks will remain locked, each for an additional 90 days,” the team said.
Meme Coin Madness Keeps On Rolling
Just to keep the energy going—another Solana meme coin story blew up today too. Someone turned $170 into $225,000 by diamond-handing a coin called TROLL, created on Pump.fun. Yep, a Trollface coin. This space is pure chaos.
As for TRUMP, even with today’s rally, it’s still down over 80% from its $73 all-time high post-inauguration. But with this kind of price action (and a golf club dinner on the table), who knows what’s next?
