The top 25 holders will be invited to a VIP reception with Donald Trump before dinner, followed by a special tour of the White House. The remaining 195 participants will attend the private dinner without additional programming.

Interestingly, this isn’t the first time Trump has hosted such events. In May 2024, he held a gathering in Florida for collectors of his NFT series.

Market Reaction

The TRUMP memecoin, listed on WhiteBIT, launched on January 17, just days before the presidential inauguration. Since then, it has experienced significant volatility. Its market cap peaked at nearly $15 billion before falling to $2.63 billion. 

However, the latest announcement triggered a rapid spike in price, with the token surging more than 50% in under an hour. While the market later pulled back slightly, TRUMP remains up more than 25% over the past 24 hours, trading above $11.71 at the time of writing.

It is worth noting that 200 million tokens were distributed to investors at the time of launch, with another 40 million unlocked last week. Currently, 80% of the token supply is held by CIC Digital LLC and Fight Fight Fight LLC. These tokens are subject to a scheduled vesting process aimed at preventing excessive pressure on the market.
