Photos from within US President Donald Trump's secretive dinner for his top memecoin buyers show attendees were treated to a three-course meal and gift bags

May 23, 2025 at 01:54 pm

Pictures posted online by some of the 220 largest holders of the Official Trump (TRUMP) token — one of several crypto ventures critics have said conflicts with Trump's ethics as president — show attendees were greeted by large posters bearing “Fight Fight Fight,” which also sat atop each table, referencing the company that launched the memecoin.

US President Donald Trump’s top memecoin buyers were treated to a three-course meal and gift bags at a secret dinner as protesters gathered outside to accuse Trump of profiting from the presidency.

Photos from within the event shared on social media on Friday show the 220 largest holders of the Official Trump (TRUMP) token — one of several crypto ventures critics have said conflicts with Trump’s ethics as president — were met with large posters reading “Fight Fight Fight.”

The White House said it would not be releasing a guest list of those who attended the dinner, but Tron CEO Justin Sun, Magic Eden CEO Jack Lu and BitMart CEO Sheldon Xia were among those sharing snaps of the dinner held at the Trump National Golf Club in Virginia.

On the menu was a “Trump organic field green salad” to start, which was followed by a filet mignon and pan-seared halibut with mashed potatoes and vegetable medley, with a lava cake for dessert, according to two photos taken by apparent attendees seen by Cointelegraph.

A video of the event shows that attendees were also given a gift bag containing a black hat.

Sun, who the Securities and Exchange Commission charged with securities laws violations before it dropped the case, was the single largest buyer of Trump’s memecoin leading up to the dinner.

A video shows the Chinese-born crypto entrepreneur, who is also the biggest backer of the Trump’s crypto platform World Liberty Financial, was brought up on stage and ceremoniously gifted a golden Trump-branded watch, which a Trump-linked company sells for $100,000.

Sun’s attendance at the event was highlighted by The Wall Street Journal and other media outlets, with many noting that the dinner may have deepened his ties to Trump and his family.

Attendees confronted by fierce protestors on arrival

Around 100 protestors gathered outside the event and booed attendees as they arrived at the premises, Bloomberg reported.

The protesters were holding signs with messages such as: “Stop Trump’s Crypto Corruptio,” and “Democracy Is Not For Sale,” while another said “Cripto Grift Dinner Bribery On Menu.”

Some protesters called for Trump’s impeachment and removal, while others demanded financial reform in the US.

Trump-linked entities reportedly cashed in around $100 million in trading fees from the TRUMP token that launched two days before Trump was inaugurated as president on Jan. 20.

On March 24, Trump Media also signed a non-binding agreement with Crypto.com to launch a series of “Made in America” exchange-traded products in the US.
