U.S. President Donald Trump will attend another gala dinner for leading holders of the Official Trump (TRUMP) memecoin on Nov. 22, 2026, at Trump National Washington D.C. The event will reward 185 participants based on their token holdings and comes as critics have argued that similar gatherings offer investors access to a sitting president through a crypto asset associated with him.

Invitations will go to the 185 participants at the top of the TRUMP Coin Club leaderboard. The ranking period began on Sept. 30 and ends on Nov. 12, with positions determined by the number of tokens participants hold and how long they hold them during that period.

VIP access and prizes

The top 29 participants will receive access to a separate VIP reception with Trump and an unnamed special guest, along with front-row seating at the dinner. Organizers emphasized that attendees will not receive one-on-one meetings with the president.

The four highest-ranked participants will receive 18-karat gold Trump watches. Other gifts include TRUMP perfume, a commemorative poster, a collectible card and a Fight Fight Fight watch. Organizers also said three unnamed “legends” are expected to attend.

Participants must register and hold at least one TRUMP token to appear on the leaderboard. After the Nov. 12 snapshot, those in the VIP category must retain at least the number of tokens held when the results were recorded to keep their additional benefits. Selling all tokens during the ranking period removes a participant from the active leaderboards.

TRUMP price reaction

TRUMP rose about 9% following the announcement, climbing from $2.05 to $2.23 before giving back almost all of the increase. The token’s all-time high on Binance was $77.24, recorded on Jan. 19, 2025, according to a TradingView chart of the hourly TRUMP/USDT pair.

Previous events and criticism

This will be the third such event for TRUMP holders. Trump attended a dinner for TRUMP investors at his golf club in Washington in May 2025. A project-related event was also held at Mar-a-Lago in Florida in April 2026.

Several Democratic Party representatives criticized the previous gatherings, arguing that the format created an opportunity to obtain access to the sitting president through investments in a crypto asset associated with him. Organizers of the November dinner explicitly state that attendees will not have private meetings with Trump.

The project’s website describes TRUMP as an expression of support for ideas associated with the brand, rather than an investment instrument or security. It also warns that the token is highly volatile and that leaderboard-related events may affect its price.

Trump family crypto projects have previously led to investor losses of as much as $4.7 billion.
