Trump memecoin team denies $300K dinner requirement rumors
United States President Donald Trump’s memecoin team denied rumors circulating on social media that holders of the Official Trump (TRUMP) token need at least $300,000 to participate in an upcoming dinner with the president. On April 25, the official X account of the Trump memecoin clarified that there is no $300,000 requirement to join the memecoin project’s dinner event featuring the US president. The rumor stemmed from community members citing the Solana blockchain explorer showing holders on the token’s contract address. At the time of writing, the explorer shows that the 220th-largest holder has 33,114 TRUMP, worth more than $400,000. However, the memecoin team said the explorer doesn’t reflect their criteria. “People have been incorrectly quoting #220 on the block explorer as the cutoff. That’s wrong because it includes things like locked tokens, exchanges, market makers, and those who are not participating. Instead, you should only be going off the leaderboard,” they wrote.

The leaderboard also shows that some addresses with zero current TRUMP holdings remain eligible for the dinner. This is likely due to how long they previously held their tokens.
