Some users on X claimed that only holders with more than $300,000 in tokens could participate. Others speculated that the wallet ranked 220 on a blockchain explorer was the minimum cutoff. In order to attend the private dinner, you must be within the top 220 holders This means you need at least 27,810.12 $TRUMP which amounts to $357,916.24 for dinner https://t.co/QUXi2i4C2E pic.twitter.com/AlLvlOLvun — Steve (@steoniy) April 23, 2025 The team dismissed both claims, stating that users must register via the official leaderboard and that only time-weighted holdings during the competition will count. Currently, the leaderboard's top wallet, under the pseudonym “Sun,” holds over 1.1 million TRUMP tokens, worth nearly $14 million. The 220th spot was held by “HAR,” with just 35.3 TRUMP tokens, or about $420 in dollar terms. Twenty five wallets are listed as VIPs on the leaderboard, where the cut-off holder sits on over $400,000 worth of TRUMP. The team also addressed concerns about token unlocks affecting the leaderboard, stating that both the cliff unlock and subsequent daily unlocks would remain inaccessible for 90 days, outlasting the competition itself. “We want to say again that the tokens from the initial cliff unlock and the following 3 months of daily unlocks will remain locked, each for an additional 90 days,” it said.
