TRUMP Memecoin Dinner Event Highlights Crypto’s Political Influence
The final qualifying holder for a dinner with the former U.S. president maintained 4,196 TRUMP tokens, valued at approximately $60,000 during the snapshot period. The net cost of attendance—after accounting for potential 10% liquidation losses—equates to roughly $6,000 per guest for the 220-person event.
This stands in stark contrast to traditional political fundraising mechanisms. A Super PAC previously offered $1 million tickets for a similar gathering, with premium one-on-one meetings priced at $5 million. The memecoin-powered access model demonstrates how blockchain technology is disrupting conventional patronage systems.
