U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to grant exclusive White House access to top holders of his personal memecoin has ignited bipartisan criticism. Launched in January 2025, the cryptocurrency promised select investors a private dinner with the president and a White House tour—an offer now under fire for potentially monetizing political influence.

Senator Cynthia Lummis, while supportive of Trump’s pro-Bitcoin legislative efforts, publicly questioned the ethics of tying crypto holdings to presidential access. The controversy highlights growing scrutiny over the intersection of digital assets and political privilege.
