Dinner with the president: Trump meme coin surges on offer to top buyers

NEW YORK (Reuters) -President Donald Trump's meme coin surged more than 60% on Wednesday after a post announcing "the most EXCLUSIVE INVITATION in the world" promised the top 220 buyers of $TRUMP a private gala dinner with the president on May 22. In addition to the dinner at Trump National Golf Club in Washington, D.C., the top 25 holders would get "an ultra-exclusive private VIP reception with the President" as well as a "Special Tour," according to the announcement. The post on a website promoting the $TRUMP coin is the latest in a flurry of cryptocurrency-related forays undertaken by Trump and his family that have garnered them hundreds of millions of dollars in fees alone.
