Holders of President Donald Trump’s memecoin can once again compete for a seat at dinner with him. The official $TRUMP site opened registration on Wednesday for a Nov. 22 gala dinner at Trump National Washington D.C., the president’s members-only golf club, with seats for the 185 holders who rank highest on its leaderboard.
The project’s X account announced the event late Wednesday, billing Trump alongside three guests the site calls “Legends,” none of whom have been named yet. “It will be a night to remember!” the post said.
Seats go by a time-weighted score, so wallets that hold more $TRUMP for longer rank higher. Scoring opened Sept. 30, and the final snapshot is set for Nov. 12 at 1 p.m. Eastern. Wallets that sell all their tokens drop off the leaderboard.
The 29 highest-ranked holders also get a VIP reception with Trump and one of the Legends. Attendees receive gifts in person, including a Trump fragrance, and the four highest-ranked VIPs get an 18K gold Trump watch.
The page sets limits on that access. “No attendees will be granted a private meet & greet with the President,” it says. It adds: “There will be no private meetings with The President. No gifts will be accepted.”

Democrats Signal Probes
The dinner was announced days after Reuters reported that Democrats plan to investigate Trump family business dealings, with Trump-linked crypto firms among the areas of interest, if they win the House or Senate in November.
“We will use our subpoena power, absolutely,” Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), the ranking member of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, told Reuters. White House spokeswoman Olivia Wales said in a statement to Reuters that Democrats have “no agenda to improve the lives of the American people.”
In July, Blumenthal, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), the ranking member of the Senate Banking Committee, and three other Senate Democratic ranking members called for hearings into the national security implications of Trump’s crypto holdings. They pointed to disclosures showing about $1.4 billion in crypto income in the first year of his second term, a windfall Trump has defended as legal.
The First Dinner
The first $TRUMP holder dinner took place at the same club on May 22, 2025, for the 220 highest-ranked holders at the time. Ahead of it, Sens. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Warren asked the Office of Government Ethics to investigate, writing in a letter that Americans deserve “the unwavering assurance that access to the presidency is not being offered for sale to the highest bidder in exchange for the President’s own financial gain.”
The token traded at about $2.10 on Friday, roughly 97% below its January 2025 peak of $73.43, according to CoinGecko data.
