唐納德·特朗普總統的模因硬幣的買家於5月22日從全球匯聚在他的私人鄉村俱樂部的獨家晚宴，俯瞰波托馬克河

An exclusive dinner hosted by President Donald Trump for the top 220 holders of his $TRUMP meme coin at his private country club drew more than 100 protesters on Tuesday, as guests converged from around the globe for the lavish meal and lavish prizes.

總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）在他的私人鄉村俱樂部的$ trump Meme硬幣的前220名持有人周二在周二吸引了100多名抗議者，這是一場獨家晚宴，隨著客人從全球匯聚一家豪華餐和豪華獎品。

The president's guests, who together spent an estimated $148 million on the meme coin to secure their seats at the dinner, began arriving at Trump National Golf Club, just outside Washington, D.C., at around 5:30 p.m. ET.

總統的客人共同花了大約1.48億美元在模因硬幣上，以確保他們在晚宴上確保座位，他開始在美國東部時間下午5:30左右到達華盛頓特區郊外的特朗普國家高爾夫俱樂部。

As guests filed into the event, and President Trump arrived by Marine One helicopter, more than a hundred protesters crowded along the edge of the parking lot along the street. Signs included, "America is not for sale," "stop crypto corruption," and "release the guest list."

當客人參加活動時，特朗普總統由海軍陸戰隊一架直升機抵達，一百多名抗議者沿著街道的停車場邊緣擁擠。包括“美國不出售”的標誌，“停止加密腐敗”和“發布來賓列表”。

Among those in attendance was China-born crypto entrepreneur and billionaire Justin Sun, who posted a video of himself, underscored by triumphant music, entering the ballroom and dressed in a tuxedo. Mr Sun won first place in the dinner contest with his $18.5 million wallet, and is also the largest publicly known investor and an adviser to World Liberty Financial, the Trump family's crypto platform, which has made them hundreds of millions of dollars.

出生於中國的加密企業家和億萬富翁賈斯汀·孫（Justin Sun）的那些人中，他發布了一段自己的視頻，並被勝利的音樂強調，進入宴會廳，穿著燕尾服。 Sun先生與他的1,850萬美元的錢包在晚宴比賽中獲得了第一名，也是特朗普家族的加密貨幣平台世界自由金融的最大公開投資者，也是世界自由金融的顧問，這使他們賺了數億美元。

On Monday, Mr Sun also posted a video of himself visiting the Executive Office Building, part of the White House complex. In February, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission paused its 2023 fraud case against Mr Sun, citing public interest.

週一，孫先生還發布了一段視頻，該視頻訪問了白宮綜合大樓一部分的行政辦公大樓。 2月，美國證券交易委員會以公眾利益為由，暫停了針對Sun先生的2023年欺詐案。

Mr Sun declined to comment but posted on X that he is "grateful for the invitation." The SEC declined to comment.

孫先生拒絕發表評論，但在X上張貼說他“感謝邀請”。 SEC拒絕發表評論。

In a video posted on social media by a meme coin contest dinner guest, Mr Trump told the crowd, "I always put the country way ahead of the business...You become president of the United States, and you want to see people thrive and succeed. The Biden Administration persecuted crypto innovators and we’re bringing them back into the USA where they belong."

特朗普在一場模因硬幣競賽晚宴上發布的社交媒體上發布的視頻中，特朗普對人群說：“我總是把這個國家領先於業務……您成為美國總統，您希望看到人們蓬勃發展並取得成功。拜登政府迫害的加密貨幣創新者，我們將他們帶回了美國的地方。”

In total, investors spent an estimated $148 million on the $TRUMP meme coin to secure their seats at the dinner, with the top-25 holders spending more than $111 million, according to crypto intelligence firm Inca Digital.

據加密情報公司Inca Digital稱，投資者總共花費了大約1.48億美元的特朗普模因硬幣上的1.48億美元，以確保他們在晚宴上獲得席位，而前25名持有人的支出超過1.11億美元。

These top holders enjoyed a private VIP reception with Mr Trump, and the four largest investors also received a limited edition Trump Tourbillon watch that sells for $100,000.

這些頂級持有人與特朗普先生一起享受了私人的VIP招待會，四位最大的投資者還收到了限量版的特朗普陀飛輪手錶，其售價為100,000美元。

A company controlled by the Trump family and a second firm together hold 80 percent of the remaining supply of $TRUMP coins, and have so far earned $320.19 million in fees, including at least $1.35 million after the dinner announcement, according to blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis.

據Blockchain Analytics企業鏈分析公司稱，由特朗普家族和第二家公司控制的公司持有剩餘的$特朗普硬幣的80％，迄今為止，已收取了32019萬美元的費用，其中包括晚餐宣布後至少135萬美元。

More than half of the 220 holders who attended the black-tie event are likely based outside of the United States, according to blockchain analysis.

根據區塊鏈分析，參加黑領帶活動的220個持有人中有一半以上可能是在美國以外的。

In response to criticisms about Mr Trump using his office to enrich himself from the meme coin, White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said on Tuesday: "All of the president's assets are in a blind trust, which is managed by his children. And I would argue, one of the many reasons that the American people re-elected this president back to this office is because he was a very successful businessman before giving it up to publicly serve our country."

白宮發言人Karoline Leavitt在回應有關特朗普先生從模因硬幣中豐富自己的批評，他週二說：“總統的所有資產都處於盲目的信任下，這是由他的孩子管理的。我會爭辯說，我會爭辯說，這位美國人是一個非常成功的商人，因為他是在為公眾提供成功的眾多理由，因為這是一個非常成功的商人。

The Trump Organization did not respond to requests for comment.

特朗普組織沒有回應置評請求。

Mr Vincent Liu, chief investment officer of Taiwan-based crypto market maker Kronos Research, said he had hopes of networking with other top holders and even possibly meeting the president.

總部位於台灣的加密推銷商Kronos Research首席投資官Vincent Liu先生說，他希望與其他頂級持有人建立聯繫，甚至可能與總統會面。

"That kind of access is rare, and it represents how digital assets are entering the mainstream."

“這種訪問很少見，它代表了數字資產如何進入主流。”

Mr Sheldon Zia, founder of the Cayman Islands-based crypto exchange BitMart, posted on X prior to the event that, as a top-25 holder, he was heading to not just the dinner but also to a private VIP cocktail reception before the dinner and a private VIP tour the following day.

總部位於開曼群島的Crypto Exchange Bitmart的創始人Sheldon Zia先生在活動之前發佈在X上，作為25名持有人，他不僅要去晚餐，而且還要前往晚餐前的私人VIP雞尾酒會和第二天的私人VIP巡迴演出。

An initial announcement said the 25 VIPs–the majority of their identities so far unknown–would tour the White House.

最初的公告稱，這25個VIP（迄今為止尚不清楚的大多數身份）將參觀白宮。

That detail has since been deleted from the $TRUMP meme website (www.gettrumpmemes.com).

此後，該細節已從$ Trump Meme網站（www.gettrumpmemes.com）中刪除。

There are also domestic Trump supporters such as Mr Vincent Deriu, a 27-year-old New York consultant who said he already owns "many" Trump-branded watches, "a few pairs of" Trump sneakers, and "more than 50" Trump NFTs. Mr Deriu joined the dinner on Tuesday for $116,000.

還有國內特朗普的支持者，例如27歲的紐約顧問文森特·德里（Vincent Deriu），他說他已經擁有“許多特朗普品牌的手錶”，其中幾雙“特朗普運動鞋”和“超過50個特朗普”的nfts。 Deriu先生於週二以116,000美元的價格加入了晚餐。

Mr Trump spent an hour at the event, where meme coin holders were served an organic field green salad, filet mignon, pan-seared halibut, garlic mashed potatoes and a vegetable medley, followed by a warm lava cake, according to a photo of the gold-lettered menu posted to social media.
