According to a guest list shared by a New York Times article and social media, President Trump’s invitations for his cryptocurrency business clients included a Chinese billionaire who is currently facing lawsuits stemming from a dispute with a former basketball player.
The dinner President Trump mentioned was quite the spectacle, showcasing how he leveraged his position for financial gain.
Interestingly, the attendees hadn’t previously met each other. They were identified solely by the pseudonyms linked to their $ Trump Memecoin held in electronic wallets. Most invitations were awarded to the top 220 holders of that memocoin over time.

Some guests even revealed their presence on social media. Reporters and photographers from the Times noted these crypto investors visiting the White House the next day.
