President Donald Trump announced an invitation-only gala for the top TRUMP meme coin holders at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, drawing 297 invitees. The guests include 18 attendees whose identities were not disclosed. The gala is scheduled for April 25, 2026, at the private Mar-a-Lago estate.
VIP access will be granted to the top 29 holders, with separate speech sessions. Eligibility is determined as of April 10, 2026 using a time-weighted holdings metric, and attendees must maintain their token balance through April 26 to receive benefits.
This is not the first time Trump has hosted such an event; last year, he invited the top 220 TRUMP holders for a similar gala. At that gathering, seats were prioritized for participants holding more than about $111 million in TRUMP, and total proceeds were about $148 million, with some seats priced as high as $1.5 million. This approach drew criticism from politics and the judiciary.
Following the announcement, the TRUMP token surged roughly 50% in the immediate aftermath. CoinGecko data show the price had fallen to about $2.73 on March 12 before jumping toward $4.50 after the news.
Analysts say the rally may be transient, with longer-term direction depending on real ecosystem expansion, liquidity programs, and sustained demand. As of publication, the price remains well off the all-time high.
