President Donald Trump hosted a private evening meal at his Virginia golf course for significant stakeholders in his crypto. Top-tier individuals from business and crypto attended the invite-only event, including Wintermute’s leadership, BitMart’s CEO, and Justin Sun, a Chinese billionaire who is subject to U.S. regulatory probes.
Other attendees included executives from Delphi Digital, CTS International, Hyperithm, Origin, Acheron Trading, Magic Eden, Synthetix, and Kronos. The event attracted guests who held substantial shares in the $TRUMP memecoin, with the top 220 holders receiving invitations to the dinner.
The most significant 25 holders were given V.I.P. access, offering them a closer experience with Trump. These select guests enjoyed an intimate reception before the dinner and an unofficial White House tour the following day.
Trump used the event to promote his cryptocurrency brand while also utilizing his golf club as the venue. Guests gathered on Thursday at the Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia, where they were welcomed by on-site staff and protesters.
Staff checked attendees against printed lists showing their full names and contact details, confirming their eligibility for the invitation-only event.

Those present were previously anonymous, known only by digital wallet IDs that tracked their $TRUMP coin activity. The private nature of the guest list meant many attendees didn’t know who else was invited until arrival. Some chose to reveal themselves online after attending the dinner.
A lawyer who represents Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and a former professional basketball player were also identified among the guests. On Friday, several invitees were also seen entering and exiting the White House, suggesting continued political engagement.
The dinner marked a unique moment where digital investments translated into real-world political access and elite social networking.
