Trump’s Meme Coin Dinner: Which Crypto Celebrities Made the Cut?

Politics meets memecoins in the most surreal crossover of 2025. Who scored an invite—and who got left holding the bag?

From crypto influencers to washed-up celebs, the guest list reads like a who’s-who of speculative hype. No word yet on whether the steak will be served with a side of tokenomics.

One thing’s certain: the afterparty will be funded by retail investors. As always.

The second-largest holder on the leaderboard is Singaporean crypto startup MemeCore. The firm confirmed its attendance via a public post. Established in 2024, the firm aims to build a blockchain for meme coins created as jokes without any inherent value. MemeCore’s chief business development officer Ting Hsu told Fortune that the startup’s anonymous founder will attend the dinner on May 22.

Another notable figure on the list is Australian crypto investor Kain Warwick, as revealed by The New York Times. While not among the top 25 holders, Warwick is the founder of the crypto exchange Infinex.

When he first purchased the meme coins, he admitted through a post that he wasn’t sure whether they were legitimately linked to the President of the United States. He eventually invested money into the tokens after verifying they were real.

Additionally, Bloomberg reported that Danish crypto trader Morten Christensen and four of his trading friends managed to secure a spot on the invite list. He said they each spent just $1,200 to make the cut.

Christensen explained their strategy: buy TRUMP meme coins, short the same amount, then sell the tokens and close the short positions immediately after the dinner winners were announced on May 19.

At press time, the OFFICIAL TRUMP meme coin is up more than 8.8% in the past 24 hours. It is currently trading at $14.41. Over the past month, the token has surged nearly 75%. However, it still trades nearly 80% below its all-time high of $73.43. Its market cap has grown to over $2.8 billion.
