The top 297 holders of Official Trump are being invited to a conference and gala at Mar-a-Lago in April, with some eligible for a VIP reception with the President.
The TRUMP memecoin rallied more than 50% in less than 24 hours after its official X account announced on Thursday that top holders of the memecoin will be invited to an exclusive conference at Mar-a-Lago on April 25.
According to a dedicated page for the event on the memecoin’s official site, the “Crypto & Business Conference” will take place at U.S. President Donald Trump’s Palm Beach estate. Invitees include qualifying individuals from the top-297 holders of TRUMP, ranked by a points leaderboard.
The token climbed over 50% in the past 24 hours from around $2.76 to a high of $4.35 earlier today, before pulling back to $3.82 at press time.
The official memecoin of the sitting U.S. president is still down roughly 95% from its all-time high of ~$74, hit just days after its Jan. 17, 2025 launch ahead of Trump’s inauguration.

Robinhood is listed as the preferred platform for the leaderboard.
The move echoes a pattern seen last April, when the announcement of a similar event — this time a presidential dinner, which left many of the attendees disappointed — sent TRUMP and other PolitiFi tokens surging.
Per CoinGecko, other PolitiFi tokens followed TRUMP higher again this time, with the sector gaining over 58% in the past 24 hours. MELANIA — the First Lady’s official memecoin, launched just two days after TRUMP and on the eve of inauguration — is up 13% on the day. MAGA Hat (MAGA) is also up 20% in the past 24 hours.
Last month, WLFI, the native token of Trump family-linked crypto project World Liberty Financial, rallied 30% the day of the firm’s flagship Forum event, also hosted at Mar-a-Lago.
The global memecoin market lost more than 60% of its value in 2025, even as the broader crypto market hit new highs, with total memecoin market cap falling from $93.1 billion in January 2025 to $36.5 billion by January 2026.
The sector has also been repeatedly rocked by rug pull scandals — most recently when former New York City Mayor Eric Adams promoted the NYC token in January, which briefly hit a $580 million valuation before crashing more than 75% amid allegations that a linked wallet pulled $2.5 million in liquidity near the top.
