Here are TRUMP top holders ahead of exclusive event

As the qualification window for the second Official Trump ($TRUMP) coin event nears, the public leaderboard shows a tight race among top holders competing for seats at the Crypto & Business Conference and Gala Luncheon.

Scheduled for April 25, 2026, in Palm Beach, Florida, the event will host 297 participants ranked by time-weighted reward points, largely driven by sustained token holdings.

President Donald Trump is set to headline the event alongside 18 guests. At the same time, the top 29 participants will also gain access to a private VIP reception with priority seating.

The latest leaderboard shows a user identified as 小x leading with 226.6 million points, narrowly ahead of K at 225.4 million. The gap has tightened as the qualification period from March 12 to April 10 progresses.

Third place is held by 69P4RH…hYLQ with 114.9 million points, just ahead of DwfUHQ…kQz5 at 114.8 million.

On the other hand, Justin Sun ranks fifth with 74.3 million points, followed by Real with 26.9 million. MrG holds seventh at 26.6 million, while MrMa is eighth with 24.5 million. Ninth place is 55zAB9…BjaG with 18.5 million, and $UP rounds out the top ten with 17.9 million.

$TRUMP rally

Notably, the announcement of the second gala has boosted momentum for the $TRUMP token, which rose as much as 60% in a day, climbing from around $2.70 to above $4 before settling in the mid-$3 range. By press, $TRUMP was trading at $3.72, down over 4% in the past 24 hours, while on the weekly timeline, the cryptocurrency has rallied almost 30%.

The event follows the inaugural gala in May 2025, which hosted 220 holders at Trump National Golf Club. The updated format uses a time-weighted system that rewards consistent holding over last-minute buying.

It’s worth noting that all attendees must register and pass a background check, with no guests allowed.

The event listing notes that Trump is scheduled as the headliner but includes provisions for changes, with an alternative NFT reward if the event is rescheduled.

Meanwhile, the event has sparked renewed controversy, with critics calling it a pay-to-play scheme that may grant wealthy investors, including foreign nationals, access to the president through large $TRUMP purchases.

Specifically, lawmakers have raised ethics concerns, citing potential conflicts of interest and financial benefit to the president and his family.
