President Donald Trump is planning another dinner for top holders of the TRUMP meme coin, with the event scheduled for Nov. 22 at Trump National in Virginia, near Washington. According to the event page run by Fight Fight Fight LLC, the company behind the token, seats will go to the top 185 registered holders based on a time-weighted ranking that rewards larger and longer-held positions, with a final snapshot set for Nov. 12. The top 29 holders will be invited to a VIP reception with Trump and one guest "legend," while the top four will receive an 18-karat gold Trump watch. The page also states that no attendee will receive a private meet-and-greet with the president. The announcement comes a little more than two weeks after the Clarity Act failed a key procedural vote in the Senate, where restrictions tied to Trump’s crypto holdings became a major point of dispute. Trump’s latest financial disclosure showed more than $635 million in 2025 income from the token, almost all from licensing royalties, while his total crypto income exceeded $1.2 billion.

President Donald Trump is planning another dinner for major backers of the TRUMP meme coin, with the token’s official X account announcing Wednesday that top holders will attend a gala dinner with Trump and three still-unnamed "superstars" on Nov. 22.

The event is set to take place at Trump National, the Virginia golf club in the Washington area that also hosted the token’s first dinner last year.

Top 185 registered holders will get seats

According to the event page operated by Fight Fight Fight LLC, the company behind the coin, invitations will go to the top 185 registered holders. Rankings are based on a time-weighted score that rewards people who hold more tokens for longer periods, with the final snapshot scheduled for Nov. 12.

The top 29 holders will receive access to a VIP reception with Trump and one guest described as a "legend." The top four will also receive an 18-karat gold Trump watch.

The event page adds one clear limitation: "No attendees will be granted a private meet & greet with the President."

Announcement follows failed Senate vote on crypto market bill

The dinner announcement arrived a little more than two weeks after the Clarity Act failed a key procedural vote in the U.S. Senate, 49-50. The bill was designed to establish federal rules for crypto markets.

Restrictions tied to Trump’s crypto holdings became one of the central sticking points in that debate.

The final ethics language, which Trump signed off on, would have required covered officials to divest their crypto interests or place those holdings into a qualified blind trust.

Democrats said that language did not go far enough. Hours before the vote, they pushed for tighter rules covering large crypto holdings, dependent children, and paid crypto promotions. Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts argued that the wording still left loopholes that could allow the president to keep profiting from some of his existing crypto ventures.

TRUMP was listed among his most lucrative crypto ventures

The TRUMP meme coin is described as one of Trump’s most lucrative crypto businesses. His latest financial disclosure showed that he earned just over $635 million from the token in 2025, with nearly all of that coming from licensing royalties.

His total crypto income topped $1.2 billion, while some estimates placed the figure above $1.4 billion.

This will be the third event of its kind

The Nov. 22 gathering will be the third such event. The first, held in May 2025, brought in the top 220 holders. Among them, the 25 VIP attendees had spent an average of $4.8 million.

Trump stayed for about an hour at that event, and some attendees left feeling shortchanged. More than 100 protesters also gathered outside.

At an April conference at Mar-a-Lago, one attendee told Decrypt that he qualified after buying just $3,000 worth of the token.

Token price and market cap

TRUMP is currently trading at around $2.04 with a market capitalization of $576 million, down more than 97% from its launch in January 2025.
