The team behind Donald Trump’s memecoin, in what is becoming a common ritual, is holding a soirée for the coin’s top holders. Even though the novelty of these gatherings may have worn off, the second Trump coin conference may appeal to those looking for a bargain.
Tickets to the conference and luncheon, scheduled for Saturday, April 25 at the president’s Mar-a-Lago resort, will once again be largely allocated to those with the most $TRUMP coins, but the price to acquire them has become significantly cheaper. While the minimum memecoin holdings to attend the TRUMP dinner at a Virginia golf club in 2025 was roughly $55,000, according to data from the analytics firm Nansen, one apparent invitee for the upcoming conference only held TRUMP tokens worth around $8,460 at the time that the leaderboard closed. Sales of TRUMP-branded merchandise were also factored into the Trump coin leaderboard this time around, so it is not possible to say how much the individual spent in total.
The upcoming conference hasn’t done much to revive the memecoin’s flagging price. On the day of the 2025 memecoin get-together, TRUMP was trading for around $14.67. The token’s price was $2.87 at the time of publication.
A handful of noteworthy crypto figures including Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino, Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood, and Anchorage Digital CEO Nathan McCauley—as well as Mike Tyson—will be in attendance, according to the conference website. The organizers have said a “major announcement” will be made at the event
One familiar face in Trump’s crypto orbit who is not expected to attend is Justin Sun, the Chinese-born billionaire crypto entrepreneur whose wallet from the first Trump memecoin dinner now holds some $5.3 million of TRUMP. Sun sued the Trump-backed crypto platform World Liberty Financial on Tuesday, alleging fraud and “egregious misconduct.”
The president’s memecoin exploits are also continuing to raise eyebrows in Washington. Earlier this month, U.S. Senators Elizabeth Warren, Adam Schiff, and Richard Blumenthal penned a letter to Bill Zanker, the Trump business partner behind the memecoin, arguing the conference tied into the president’s “willingness to use the presidency for personal profit” and requesting Zanker answer a host of questions about the coin and conference by April 22. The senators did not return requests for comment on whether Zanker sent the information.
Although Trump is touted as an attendee on the conference site, the fine print says that the president “may not be able to attend.” Politico reported the event is “not locked in on Trump’s schedule,” and the president may attend the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner instead. In the event that the president is a no-show, the event may be rescheduled, according to the site’s terms and conditions, or attendees may receive a “limited edition TRUMP NFT” in lieu of the president’s attendance.
