Holders of the $TRUMP token will have another opportunity to dine with the U.S. President after the company behind the token announced a "gala luncheon" with Donald Trump set for late next month.

The luncheon, scheduled for April 25, comes just under a year after token holders were invited to a previous dinner with Trump. That one was open to the top 220 holders of the token, while this new one will bring in 297, with 29 invited to a VIP tour of Mar-a-Lago, the event venue, the issuer of the token said Thursday.

"Join 18 global giants at one of the world's most historic residences... the exclusive members-only club, Mar-a-Lago," the announcement said. "You'll enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime experience. This event will be a memory you will talk about forever!"

Mar-a-Lago hosted a crypto conference put on by World Liberty Financial, another company co-owned by Trump and his family, last month.

The TRUMP token spiked briefly when the announcement came out, though the price fell back almost immediately. The token is trading at around $2.98, up about 2% on the day's trading. The token's volume is up to its highest level since Feb. 20, 2026.

The token's price is still down significantly from its all-time high of over $46, and even down from the roughly $13 average it traded at during the last dinner announcement in April 2025.

That earlier dinner prompted Democratic lawmakers to lodge protests and raise concerns about Trump profiting off of his own crypto token while simultaneously championing legislation to support the industry and appointing regulators to oversee crypto. These concerns have, in part, delayed legislation sought by the crypto industry.
