On May 6, 2025, shares of Freight Technologies – a lesser-known transportation company specializing in supply chain logistics – plummeted to $1.50, losing 30% of their value, just three days after announcing plans to buy TRUMP meme coin to accumulate treasury assets. Is this a smart strategy or a hidden risk? Let's analyze in detail.
Freight Technologies Invests in TRUMP Coin
Freight Technologies, founded in 2015, has signed an agreement with an institutional investor to raise up to $20 million through a convertible bond issuance, with the first tranche of $1 million. According to CEO Javier Selgas, the company will use this money to buy $TRUMP – a meme coin associated with U.S. President Donald Trump – to diversify its crypto treasury and particularly to 'promote fair, balanced, and free trade between the U.S. and Mexico.' He emphasized that Mexico is the U.S.'s top trading partner, and this investment is a way for the company to express its stance on tariff risks.
