Justin Sun Buys 1.17M TRUMP Tokens—Secures VIP Dinner in Latest Crypto Power Move

Crypto heavyweight Justin Sun just flexed his portfolio dominance—snagging 1.17 million TRUMP tokens to top the holder list. The prize? An exclusive dinner with the token’s namesake, because nothing says ’decentralization’ like oligarchic backroom access.

Sun’s play follows his usual script: throw seven figures at a meme-adjacent asset, grab headlines, and let the speculation machine do the rest. Meanwhile, retail traders scramble for scraps—classic crypto ’democracy’ in action.

Pro tip: Watch the token’s liquidity pools post-dinner. History suggests Sun’s ’strategic holdings’ have a habit of becoming strategic exits when least expected.

Even though MeCo evidently has more token holdings than CASE, MeCo is ranked lower because the holdings are arranged based on a metric called “Time Weighted $TRUMP Holdings.” Time weighted holdings are calculated based on the amount held and the duration of holding. Therefore, the longer traders hold onto their tokens, the higher they will be ranked on the board.

TRUMP surges after exclusive dinner announcement

According to blockchain analytics platform Nansen, the top 100 holders of the presidential meme coin have increased their holdings by around 940,000 tokens within just one hour, shortly after the exclusive dinner announcement was made.

On April 24, the top 100 $TRUMP holders increased their balance by ~940K tokens in just one hour — from 975.36M to 976.30M.

On April 23, the developer team behind the project announced that the top 220 holders of the token would receive an exclusive VIP invitation to a dinner with President Donald Trump. Shortly after, the price of the meme coin skyrocketed as high as 70% as more traders scrambled to acquire more tokens for an audience with the president.

At press time, the meme coin has gone up by more than 7.5% currently valued at $12.96 per token, retracting slightly from its previous high of $16.03 on the day the project team made the announcement. In the past week, the Solana (SOL)-based token has increased by more than 70%.
