POTUS headlines the herd for top TRUMP holders as price surges 50% after ATL

The TRUMP token rose from an all-time low following news that Donald Trump will host an exclusive investor gala.

President Donald Trump has announced an exclusive gala and conference for leading Trump Official Investors (TRUMP) to be held at Mar-a-Lago in April 2026.

Reacting to the news, the token surged by more than 50% just after hitting a new low.

Second Trump Gala event

The TrumpMeme X account described the April 25 gathering at Mar-a-Lago as “the world’s most exclusive crypto and business conference and gala dinner.” The announcement invited the top 297 holders of the TRUMP commemorative coin to join the US president and 18 other unknown figures at the event.

The website also offers an “exclusive bonus” that offers VIP reception and chats with 29 qualified members. According to the release, VIP eligibility is based on TRUMP shares at the weighted time of participants recorded on April 10, 2026. Additionally, investors must maintain at least one balance by April 26 to retain full VIP benefits.

This is not the first time that Trump has held such an event. Last year, the president hosted a similar gala dinner for 220 of the coin’s biggest investors. At that conference, participants with more than $111 million in TRUMP took first place. In total, the event raised nearly $148 million, with some seats worth up to $1.5 million for attendees.

As a result, critics have argued that the president is profiting directly from his office, linking his access to crypto investments. Some legal experts also described the dinner as a “simple bribe,” meaning investors paid for influence.

TRUMP Sign Rallies 30%

Prior to the news of the TRUMP gala, the meme coin had been in a downward spiral, going from around $5.80 in January to a new low on March 12, when it hit $2.73, per CoinGecko data.

However, it rallied immediately after the announcement, first hitting $4.50 before gradually reaching the $4 level, where it was at the time of writing.

The project team is trying to revive interest in the meme coin through new ecosystem initiatives. Last month, it announced plans for productivity and liquidity programs through Camino warehouses, new market makers and a fund to support ecosystem projects.

However, these efforts did not lead to increased trading activity and the price mostly stuck to its downward spiral. But now, the new price is showing an improvement of more than 30% in the last 24 hours, and longer timeframes are also turning green. In seven days, TRUMP gained more than 25%, while the increase in two weeks was about 15%.

On a monthly basis, the meme coin has increased by more than 28%, although it is still down about 60% year-to-date and will be about 95% as of January 2025.
