Organizers behind the Official TRUMP memecoin revealed plans for another exclusive gathering targeting elite token holders — a prestigious luncheon featuring President Donald Trump at his Florida Mar-a-Lago resort, set for April 25.
The Thursday, March 12 announcement revealed that the top 297 token holders would qualify for attendance, with the leading 29 holders gaining additional access to an intimate reception featuring Trump. According to the TRUMP token’s official website, Trump will deliver the keynote address.
Nevertheless, a White House representative informed Politico that the gathering hasn’t been confirmed on the president’s official calendar. The chosen date also conflicts with Trump’s publicly announced intention to attend the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
Qualifying holders must satisfy specific criteria determined by time-weighted token ownership calculated from March 12 through April 10. Additionally, all participants must successfully complete background screening procedures prior to admission.
The cryptocurrency experienced a momentary price surge after the announcement, rising from its record low of $2.73 to reach $3.06 before declining. Currently, TRUMP trades between approximately $2.94 and $2.98, representing roughly a 2% daily increase.
Memecoin Continues Massive Decline From Peak Valuation
Notwithstanding the modest uptick, the cryptocurrency remains approximately 96% lower than its January 2025 all-time high of $73.43. That pinnacle occurred shortly after the token’s debut ahead of Trump’s presidential inauguration ceremony.
When the previous dinner was announced in April 2025, the token averaged around $13 in trading. Since that time, it has experienced a dramatic downturn.
Trading activity for the cryptocurrency reached its most robust level since February 20, 2026, on the announcement date of the gala event.
The inaugural gathering for TRUMP token holders occurred at a Trump golf facility in May 2025. Tron blockchain founder Justin Sun attended as one of the largest stakeholders. Infinex creator Kain Warwick also participated after acquiring sufficient tokens to secure a position in the top 25 rankings.
Political Opposition and Public Demonstrations Have Emerged
The previous dinner event drew protestors to the venue’s exterior. Bloomberg reported that demonstrators vocally confronted arriving guests. Among the protestors were U.S. senators and individuals with former congressional staff experience.
Democratic politicians voiced opposition to the gathering, contending that Trump was generating revenue from a cryptocurrency token while simultaneously appointing regulatory officials to supervise the crypto sector and supporting favorable industry legislation. These concerns resulted in congressional delays for pending crypto-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, arranged by World Liberty Financial — a separate crypto enterprise co-owned by Trump and his relatives.
