Trump Plans Crypto Dinners to Raise Millions, Targets Wealthy Donors and Meme Coin Holders

Benzinga

Trump is hosting two crypto-themed dinners this month, and both are expected to generate millions in fundraising, according to CNBC. The first is a $1.5 million-per-plate fundraiser hosted by MAGA Inc., featuring David Sacks, a growing crypto policy influencer in Washington. The second allows Trump's token holders to compete for a seat at Trump’s table via a blockchain-based leaderboard. The event promises perks like a VIP White House tour and access to Trump’s circle, but includes fine print that the president’s attendance isn’t guaranteed. Watchdogs have criticized the scheme as potentially corrupt, warning that anonymous wallets make it difficult to trace who’s buying access. The $TRUMP token surged over 50% after the gala was announced.
