Decrypt’s Art, Fashion, and Entertainment Hub. Discover SCENEPresident Donald Trump is hosting a crypto dinner tomorrow for the top 220 holders of his official meme coin, leading to considerable political outrage from a growing group of critics.Four U.S. lawmakers—along with representatives of watchdog groups Public Citizen, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics, and End Citizens United—plan to hold a press conference on Thursday to demand a full release of dinner attendees’ names and “what favors they’re getting.” Prior, Senators Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Adam Schiff (D-CA) had demanded a probe into the event, citing risks of foreign influence given the pseudonymous nature of crypto transactions.While no one yet knows the full list of attendees for Thursday’s event, we do know some of them. From a Chinese-born crypto billionaire to a celebrity meme coin creator and a former NBA star, the crypto gala promises to have a diverse audience.In order to qualify for the dinner with the president, holders of Trump’s meme coin, which trades as TRUMP, were required to register via the GetTrumpMemes official website by providing their full legal name, an email address, phone number, and the Solana wallet that held the tokens.Placements were calculated using a time-weighted average of TRUMP holdings between April 23 and May 12, with the top 220 on the leaderboard being invited to the gala. Plus, the top 25 holders were also invited to an “ultra-exclusive private VIP reception.”So, who made the cut?Justin SunThe top holder of the TRUMP meme coin is Chinese-born billionaire Justin Sun, the controversial founder of the Tron blockchain, prime minister of Liberland, and large investor in the Trump-tied World Liberty Financial project.A cryptocurrency wallet identified by blockchain analysis firm Arkham as belonging to crypto exchange HTX, a company that Sun owns, started to climb the leaderboard shortly after the gala announcement. The wallet, nicknamed “Sun” on the leaderboard, was later revealed to be controlled by the crypto billionaire, and the Kittitian national has since gloated about it on social media.Sun added $435,800 to his TRUMP holdings in the 28 days following the gala announcement in April, according to data from Solana blockchain explorer SolScan, and it now holds $22.04 million worth of the meme coin.Sun landed in the United States on Monday and has been on a publicity tour ever since—visiting a Worldcoin store, a Vast space station, as well as a SpaceX station.Excited to be back in the🇺🇸!
