Someone just dropped $5.73 million on TRUMP tokens for a chance to eat dinner with the former president, and they're not even the biggest whale in this game.

The May 22 dinner at Trump National Golf Club has turned into the wildest meme coin battle we've seen in months, with over 220 spots up for grabs.

Congress isn’t happy about it, but TRUMP holders are no doubt exuberant about the fact that their beloved meme coin might actually have some fundamental value… even if it’s a steak dinner with the president. 

The Whale Wars Begin

This isn't your average pump and chase, as we watch crypto's biggest players compete for dinner invitations.

One whale, who had already banked $732,000 in profits, decided that wasn't enough and threw another $5.73 million at TRUMP tokens on April 26.

Another address, called "MeCo," pulled 1.195 million tokens worth $15.76 million off Binance the moment the dinner news broke.

It's like watching a group of billionaires compete for the privilege of sitting at the cool kids' table.

How The Dinner Works

The contest isn't just about who has the fattest wallet, as it factors in time-weighted averages, which means both size and stamina matter.

You need to register your wallet, hold tokens from April 23 to May 12, and pray you make the top 220.

The top 25 get VIP treatment with a private tour that everyone's whispering is at the White House.

And here's the kicker – the 220th spot only needed $400 worth of tokens recently, but good luck finding that price now.

The Price Goes Mental

The TRUMP token surged over 50% after the dinner announcement, reaching a $2.7 billion market cap.

Trading fees alone generated $900,000 for Trump's team in just two days.

That whale who dropped $5.73 million? Already up 20% as the token hit $16.

The tokens has basically turned into a casino where the jackpot is dinner with the Don.

Everyone's Mad About This

Senator Chris Murphy called it "the most brazenly corrupt thing a President has ever done."

Critics are having a field day watching a sitting president sell dinner tickets via meme coins.

The White House is doing the whole "it's in a trust managed by his kids" dance to distance Trump from direct involvement.

Meanwhile, crypto degens are too busy checking their leaderboard spots to care about the ethics.

The Security Theater

All winners must pass background checks and cannot be from restricted countries.

Imagine spending millions on tokens only to discover you're on a watchlist – best to check beforehand. 

The whole thing feels like a reality show where the prize is watching Trump eat steak.

What The Heck Is Happening?

This is unprecedented territory – a former president using crypto mechanics to auction off his time.

The leaderboard battle is creating insane buying pressure as whales compete for spots.

Retail traders are getting priced out faster than they can say "diamond hands" on a meme coin they thought was a publicity stunt.

The token's volume and volatility have turned it into the hottest trade in crypto – and we’re still not even halfway done with 2025. 

The Race Heats Up

With the deadline approaching, we're seeing increasingly desperate moves from whales as they try to secure their spots.

The dynamic leaderboard means nobody's position is safe until the contest ends.

Some are predicting the final push could send TRUMP token into price discovery territory.

This whole thing is either genius marketing or the most expensive dinner ever sold – maybe both.
