Trump's dinner invitation to Large Investors: sincere gratitude or clever marketing?
The "TRUMP DINNER" hosted by Trump will take place on May 22 in Washington, with plans to invite the first 220 TRUMP token holders to participate. Among them, the top 25 token holders will qualify for a private VIP reception with Trump and a special VIP tour of the White House the following day. According to the organizers, Trump will attend the dinner as a guest and will not be fundraising during the event.

This news recalls the recent large-scale unlocking event of the TRUMP token: on April 18, TRUMP unlocked 40 million tokens worth approximately $300 million, accounting for 20% of the total circulation. The timing is so close that it raises questions: the token has just been unlocked, and Trump is hosting a dinner to invite Large Investors. Is this truly a gesture of gratitude towards his supporters, or is it something more calculated?

# Trump Dinner Invitation to Large Investors: Sincere Gratitude or Clever Marketing?

The "TRUMP DINNER" hosted by Trump will be held on May 22 in Washington, and the event plans to invite the first 220 TRUMP token holders to participate, among which the top 25 token holders will receive qualifications for a private VIP reception with Trump and will participate in a special VIP tour of the White House the following day. According to the organizers, Trump will attend the dinner as a guest and will not be fundraising during the event.

This news reminds one of the large-scale unlocking event of the TRUMP token that occurred not long ago: on April 18, TRUMP unlocked 40 million tokens, worth approximately $300 million, accounting for 20% of the total circulation. With the timing so close, one can't help but wonder: Is it a sincere gesture of gratitude to supporters that the tokens were just unlocked and Trump is hosting a dinner inviting Large Investors, or is it a carefully designed market strategy?

!7365229

After the announcement of the dinner news, the price of TRUMP surged rapidly, reaching a high of $14.37 at one point, and as of the time of reporting, it was priced at $12.37, with a daily increase of over 33%.

## Large Investors Act Quickly to Profit

Market analysis shows that after the dinner announcement was released, an investor quickly invested 5 million USDC to purchase 407,467 TRUMP coins at a price of $12.27. Subsequently, this Large Investor sold all of them in less than half an hour, with total profits reaching $731,800.

Another long-time liquidity provider for TRUMP withdrew liquidity from both wallets at around 8 a.m. that day, recovering 211,977 TRUMP (about $2.76 million) and 18,376 SOL (also about $2.76 million). Both wallets are currently among the top 220 holders and are eligible for dinner invitations. It is reported that the investor bought 332,424 TRUMP (about $802,000) at a price of $2.41 on the first day of the token's listing and provided liquidity. At the peak of the token price, the tokens were worth more than $24 million at one point.

However, not all investors are so lucky. On-chain analysts pointed out that a TRUMP token investor sold off their holdings about 20 hours before the good news was announced, realizing a profit of only $483,000, whereas if they had held until after the news was released, the theoretical profit could have reached $4.28 million.

## Can TRUMP Token achieve long-term value growth?

In terms of long-term performance, the TRUMP token has been disappointing. The price soared above $75 on the first day of listing, and the market value once reached about $15 billion, but by January 20 it had plummeted by more than 50%. Investors quickly noticed the high concentration of tokens and the short lock-up period. Considering that 80% of the supply is allocated to Trump-controlled founders and related entities, the current market capitalization of $2.6 billion is hardly considered a reasonable valuation by the market.

!7365247

Although Trump's dinner event has stimulated short-term trading enthusiasm, the long-term trend of token prices is unlikely to undergo substantial changes due to a single dinner. The current price surge is mainly driven by market speculation and Trump's "emotional marketing." In the long run, unless concerns about token concentration and unlocking can be effectively alleviated, TRUMP will find it difficult to reverse the long-term sluggish market performance.

## Trump's NFT Strategy

It is worth noting that the official statement from TRUMP mentioned: if the dinner is canceled or Trump is unable to attend, eligible TRUMP holders will receive a limited edition NFT as compensation. This indicates that Trump is not only paying attention to the Meme coin market but is also continuing to promote the development of NFT projects.

!7365241

Trump has been exploring the NFT space for some time. On May 8 of this year, he hosted an NFT dinner at his resort in Palm Beach, Florida, inviting buyers who purchased at least 47 "MugShot Edition" NFTs to attend. This series consists of 100,000 NFTs, priced at $99 each, and purchasing 47 (for $4,653) qualifies one for dinner with Trump.

Trump's first NFT release can be traced back to December 2022, when he launched 45,000 digital cards featuring him as a superhero, astronaut, western sheriff, and more. These NFTs were issued on the Polygon chain, with the standard edition cards priced at $99, and purchasing 45 cards would grant access to an NFT dinner ticket. According to market data, all NFTs sold out in about 12 hours. In March 2023, when Trump was indicted in Manhattan, the price of these NFTs skyrocketed, reaching a peak of $1,700.

In April 2023, the Trump team launched the second series of trading cards, maintaining a price of $99, which sold out within 5 hours of release, generating total revenue of $4.6 million.

## Conclusion

Whether it is promoting the TRUMP token or NFT projects, Trump seems to be adept at leveraging digital assets to create short-term hype and profits. Whether the TRUMP token and NFTs can achieve long-term value growth is not the most critical factor; the price surge and media exposure in the short term are already sufficient to achieve certain goals. From the current distribution of TRUMP token holders, the concentration of Large Investors remains very high, which may continue to affect the market's long-term confidence in this token.

# 特朗普晚宴邀请持币大户：真诚答谢还是巧妙营销？

特朗普"TRUMP DINNER"晚宴将于5月22日在华盛顿举办，活动计划邀请前220名TRUMP代币持有者参与，其中排名前25的代币持有者将获得与特朗普的私人VIP招待会资格，并在次日参加白宫特别VIP之旅。据组织方表示，特朗普将作为嘉宾出席晚宴，且不会在活动中进行资金募集。

这一消息让人联想到不久前发生的TRUMP代币大规模解锁事件：4月18日，TRUMP解锁了4000万枚代币，价值约3亿美元，占总流通量的20%。时间点如此接近，不禁引发思考：代币刚解锁，特朗普就举办晚宴邀请大户，这究竟是感谢支持者的诚意之举，还是精心设计的市场策略？

!7365229

晚宴消息公布后，TRUMP价格迅速上涨，一度攀升至14.37美元，截至报道时报价12.37美元，单日涨幅超过33%。

## 巨鲸迅速行动获利

市场分析显示，在晚宴公告发布后，一位投资者迅速投入500万USDC，以12.27美元的价格购入了407,467枚TRUMP代币。随后，这位大户在不到半小时内全部抛售，总获利高达73.18万美元。

!7365230

另一位长期为TRUMP提供流动性的投资者在当天早晨8点左右从两个钱包中撤出流动性，收回了211,977枚TRUMP（约276万美元）和18,376枚SOL（同样约276万美元）。目前这两个钱包均位列前220名持有者之列，有资格获得晚宴邀请。据悉，该投资者在代币上市首日以2.41美元的价格购入了332,424枚TRUMP（约80.2万美元）并提供了流动性。在代币价格高峰期，这些代币价值一度超过2400万美元。

!7365246

然而，并非所有投资者都如此幸运。链上分析人士指出，一位TRUMP代币投资者在好消息公布前约20小时清仓，仅实现48.3万美元利润，而如果持有至消息发布后，理论收益可能达到428万美元。

## TRUMP代币能否实现长期价值增长？

从长期表现看，TRUMP代币的走势令人失望。上市首日价格曾飙升至75美元以上，市值一度达到约150亿美元，但到1月20日便暴跌逾50%。投资者很快注意到代币高度集中且锁定期较短的问题。考虑到80%的供应量被分配给特朗普控制的创始人和相关实体，当前26亿美元的市值难以被市场认为是合理估值。

!7365247

虽然特朗普此次晚宴活动带动了短期交易热情，但代币价格的长期走势很难因一场晚宴而发生实质性变化。当前的价格飙升主要由市场投机行为和特朗普"情怀营销"共同推动。从长远来看，除非能有效缓解投资者对代币集中度和解锁的担忧，否则TRUMP难以扭转长期低迷的市场表现。

## 特朗普的NFT战略

值得注意的是，TRUMP官方声明中提到：若晚宴取消或特朗普无法出席，符合资格的TRUMP持有者将获得限量版NFT作为补偿。这表明特朗普不仅关注Meme币市场，同时也在继续推动NFT项目发展。

!7365241

特朗普在NFT领域的探索已有一段时间。今年5月8日，他在佛罗里达州棕榈滩的度假村举办了一场NFT晚宴，邀请了购买至少47个"MugShot Edition"（大头照）NFT的买家参加。该系列共10万张NFT，单价99美元，购买47张（4653美元）即可获得与特朗普共进晚餐的资格。

特朗普最早发行NFT可追溯至2022年12月，当时推出45000张数字卡片，包含他扮演超级英雄、宇航员、西部警长等形象。这些NFT在Polygon链上发行，标准版卡片售价99美元，购买45张可获得NFT晚宴门票。据市场数据，全部NFT在约12小时内售罄。2023年3月，当特朗普在曼哈顿被起诉时，这些NFT价格飙升，最高达到1700美元。

2023年4月，特朗普团队推出第二系列交易卡，维持99美元的价格，在发行5小时后全部售罄，总收益达460万美元。

## 结语

无论是推动TRUMP代币还是NFT项目，特朗普似乎都在精通于利用数字资产创造短期热点和收益。TRUMP代币和NFT能否实现长期价值增长并不是最关键的，短期内的价格飙升和媒体曝光已经足以达成一定目标。从当前TRUMP代币持有分布来看，大户持有集中度仍然很高，这可能继续影响市场对该代币的长期信心。
