Three weeks after launching a contest that offered a dinner with Donald Trump, the TRUMP leaderboard is now officially locked.
The competition, which ran from April 23 to May 12, ranked wallets based on their time-weighted average $TRUMP holdings. The top 220 participants secured an invitation to a formal gala dinner with the former president, scheduled for May 22 at Trump National Golf Club in Washington, D.C. The top 25 were promised an additional VIP reception and White House tour arranged by the event’s organizers.
With the leaderboard now finalized, attention is shifting to the final rankings – and the sharp price drop that followed.

How Much Did You Need To Qualify?
According to leaderboards, the 220th and final qualifying spot closed at an average of 4,196 tokens – just 15 ahead of the first wallet to miss the cut. Depending on when tokens were acquired, qualifying for the dinner likely required between $40,000 and $60,000 in holdings.
To enter the VIP tier, wallets needed a time-weighted balance of at least 169,760 tokens, as seen in the wallet ranked #25. That wallet currently holds zero $TRUMP, suggesting the user sold immediately after the competition ended.
The top spot was taken by a wallet named “Sun”, with a weighted average of 1,319,042 tokens. Second place, “MeCo”, followed with 1,267,394. The gap between second and third was significant – “CASE”, in third, had just 423,091.
Winners began receiving messages from the event organizers on May 13, along with a statement from the project team:
If you were in the top 220 on the leaderboard, check the email you signed up with for details on the Dinner with President Trump as soon as possible. There will be background checks that need to be completed before your attendance is confirmed.
Price Pulls Back After Leaderboard Locks
The competition’s end triggered a reversal in token price. On May 13, $TRUMP dropped more than 10%, trading near $12.80. Earlier in the week, the token briefly returned to $14 before sliding again. Its highest point during the event was over $16, reached in late April.
The drop comes after weeks of leaderboard-driven volatility. Several high-ranking wallets have now exited their positions entirely.
NFT Rewards and Trump Points Program Announced
In an announcement posted after the leaderboard closed, the project team confirmed that every user who registered for the competition will receive a TRUMP NFT as a thank-you. Additional digital collectibles will be sent to the 220 qualifying wallets after the gala dinner concludes. These are expected to be unique from the general distribution.
There is also a third category of reward. Any wallet that holds the same amount of $TRUMP on May 22 as it did when the leaderboard closed will receive a limited-edition Trump Diamond Hand NFT.
The team has also launched a Trump Points Program, which allows holders to connect their wallets and start earning points toward yet-to-be-announced perks. The next phase of the TRUMP project is to be revealed at the dinner.
What’s Next?
While the leaderboard event created short-term momentum and media attention (along with some controversy, including calls for impeachment) the next stage for the token is still unclear. The event is moving forward, but without new announcements, some holders may continue to exit their positions.
The newly introduced points system and NFT drops are designed to reward ongoing participation, but it remains to be seen whether these incentives will be enough to stabilize interest beyond the core fanbase.
Dogwifhat (WIF) also tried to bring memecoins into the physical world, with the idea of putting its logo on the Las Vegas Sphere. It got attention and funding – but the project didn’t succeed. We covered the full story here.
