The organization managing the Official TRUMP memecoin has unveiled plans for its second invitation-only gathering — an upscale luncheon featuring President Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago property in Palm Beach, Florida, slated for April 25.
The reveal occurred on Thursday, March 12, indicating that eligibility extends to the top 297 token holders, with the leading 29 participants gaining exclusive access to a private meet-and-greet with Trump. According to the TRUMP token’s official platform, Trump is designated as the event’s keynote speaker.
Nevertheless, a White House representative informed Politico that this gathering hasn’t been added to the president’s confirmed agenda. Interestingly, the proposed date conflicts with Trump’s publicly announced intention to participate in the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
Qualification standards are determined by time-weighted token ownership tracked from March 12 until April 10. Additionally, all participants must successfully complete a background verification process prior to admission.
The cryptocurrency experienced a modest price surge after the disclosure, rising from a record low of $2.73 to reach $3.06 before pulling back. Currently, TRUMP is exchanging hands between $2.94 and $2.98, representing approximately a 2% daily gain.
Cryptocurrency Remains Far Below Historical Highs
Notwithstanding this modest recovery, the digital asset continues trading approximately 96% beneath its January 2025 all-time high of $73.43. That pinnacle occurred mere days following the token’s introduction prior to Trump’s presidential inauguration.
When the previous dinner event was announced in April 2025, the token was valued at roughly $13 on average. Since that time, it has experienced a dramatic decline.
Market activity for the cryptocurrency surged to levels not witnessed since February 20, 2026, on the date of the gala announcement.
The inaugural gathering for TRUMP token participants took place at a Trump golf facility in May 2025. Tron’s founder Justin Sun attended, allegedly as one of the project’s most significant holders. Infinex creator Kain Warwick also participated after acquiring sufficient tokens to secure a position within the top 25 rankings.
Political Figures and Activists Express Objections
The previous dining event drew protesters to the location. Bloomberg reported that demonstrators voiced their opposition to guests upon arrival. Both U.S. senators and former congressional aides joined the protest efforts.
Democratic legislators voiced strong opposition to the gathering, contending that Trump was generating revenue from a cryptocurrency while simultaneously appointing industry regulators and supporting favorable legislative measures. These concerns led to postponements of crypto-focused bills moving through Congress.
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 served as the venue for a cryptocurrency summit last month, coordinated by World Liberty Financial — a separate digital asset enterprise co-owned by Trump and his relatives.
