Tron founder Justin Sun has declared himself the top holder of the $TRUMP meme coin, reportedly owning around $21.9 million worth. This investment secured him the top spot on the token's leaderboard and a VIP seat at a May 22, 2025 dinner with Donald Trump at his Virginia golf club. The dinner is part of a promotional campaign rewarding the top 220 token holders, with extra perks for the top 25. Sun has also invested $75 million in a Trump-backed DeFi project, drawing criticism over the mixing of crypto influence and political access, raising concerns about transparency and ethical implications.
