A small logistics technology company in the United States, Freight Technologies, announced that it will invest $20 million in purchasing Trump Meme Coins (TRUMP) as a cryptocurrency reserve, aiming to strengthen its geopolitical position and advocate for U.S.-Mexico trade.

Recently, Freight Technologies (FRGT), a small logistics technology company focused on U.S.-Mexico cross-border trade, announced an unusual plan: to invest up to $20 million to purchase the official Trump Meme Coin $TRUMP and include it in the company's cryptocurrency reserves. This decision quickly sparked market discussions, not only because the investment amount is four times the company's market value, but also due to the close association of the TRUMP token with U.S. President Trump, which has led to widespread discussions about corporate motives, political influence, and potential conflicts of interest. A new strategy of 'crypto politics' for corporations? It is understood that Freight Technologies (FRGT) is a company with a market value of about $4.8 million, whose core business focuses on using technology to enhance the efficiency of cargo transport between the U.S. and Mexico. The company's CEO, Javier Selgas, stated in a press release on April 30: We believe that increasing the official Trump token is an excellent way to diversify our cryptocurrency funding and an effective way to advocate for fair, balanced, and free trade between Mexico and the United States. Notably, prior to this, Freight Technologies had invested $8 million in supporting AI tools through the FET token. The company publicly stated that the goal of purchasing TRUMP tokens is to 'strengthen its technological and geopolitical position,' especially to 'advocate for fair, balanced, and free trade between the U.S. and Mexico.' To support this massive investment, Freight Technologies established a convertible note financing mechanism with an institutional investor, and the first $1 million in funding has been secured, which will be specifically used to purchase TRUMP tokens. The connection and controversy of political meme coins TRUMP is a meme coin directly associated with U.S. President Trump, and its existence carries a strong political connotation. This connection not only makes it unique in the cryptocurrency market but also raises widespread attention and controversy. For example, recent holders of TRUMP tokens had the opportunity to receive invitations to private dinners with Trump or tours of the White House, which sparked criticism from some political figures, such as Senator Jon Ossoff, who argued that this could constitute a clear case of 'selling access to the presidency.' Although the announcement of Freight Technologies' investment in TRUMP meme coins did not lead to an immediate price surge for the token; FRGT's stock price soared over 200% after the news was released last week, briefly jumping from $0.95 to over $3, but there was a significant pullback on Friday, closing at $2.08, indicating extreme market volatility. The intertwining future of corporations, politics, and digital assets Although it is not new for publicly listed companies to purchase digital assets as reserves, such as Strategy and Semler Scientific investing heavily in Bitcoin. However, the strategy of Freight Technologies differs from these companies as it explicitly ties its investment goals to influencing specific trade agreements. While Freight Technologies' investment in TRUMP tokens appears to be a case of merging corporate strategy, blockchain technology, and political marketing tactics, the true intentions behind it, the feasibility of the strategy, and the potential financial and reputational risks deserve in-depth analysis and ongoing attention.
