Top bidders to attend Trump meme coin dinner appear foreign-based

Summary

Many of the top buyers competing for seats at President Trump's upcoming meme coin dinner used cryptocurrency exchanges that do not allow U.S. customers. This suggests that many participants are from outside the United States. The event, scheduled for November 22, will feature President Trump speaking to the largest holders of the $TRUMP meme coin.

Key Facts

  • The dinner will be held on November 22 at Trump National Golf Club near Washington, D.C.
  • Only the top 185 holders of the $TRUMP meme coin are invited; the top 29 get special VIP access.
  • Over half of the top 100 holders used crypto exchanges like Binance, Bybit, and MEXC, which do not allow U.S. users.
  • Using these exchanges suggests the holders are likely outside the U.S. since U.S. customers are banned.
  • President Trump earned at least $635 million last year from a licensing deal linked to the $TRUMP coin.
  • An affiliate of the Trump Organization earns money every time the $TRUMP coin is traded.
  • The $TRUMP token’s value has dropped by more than 95% since its highest point in January 2025.
