The memecoin TRUMP would reach the treasury of GD Culture Group.
The company's goal is to diversify its treasury (but it is going the wrong way).
GD Culture Group, a company listed on Nasdaq, announced yesterday, May 12, that it will sell up to 300 million dollars in shares with the aim of buying bitcoin... and also the memecoin Official Trump (TRUMP).
Yes, you read that right: a publicly traded company wants to add to its treasury a combination that mixes the world's most solid asset with a speculative token linked to the image of the U.S. president.
The move seems, at first glance, an attempt to imitate the strategy that made Michael Saylor and his company Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), the world's largest corporate holder of bitcoin, famous. But there is a fundamental difference: understanding why bitcoin, and not simply 'crypto', is what makes all the difference. And that is precisely what GD Culture seems not to have understood.
This company that is now entering our radar has a legal base in Nevada, United States, and operations in China through artificial intelligence and e-commerce subsidiaries.
According to the announcement made yesterday, it signed an agreement with an investor from the British Virgin Islands to sell up to 300 million dollars in shares. According to its statement, they will use a 'significant part' of that amount to buy bitcoin and the memecoin Official Trump.
The company referred to this decision as part of a new treasury strategy based on crypto assets, aiming to reflect industry trends and strengthen the balance sheet. However, the inclusion of a highly volatile token with no clear fundamentals like TRUMP raises many red flags.

Nasdaq-listed company copies Saylor, but without understanding Bitcoin
When someone doesn't understand that bitcoin and 'crypto' are not the same... these things happen.

On the right, separated by an inequality symbol (≠), there are several coins with images of popular memes like Doge and a caricature of Donald Trump, representing memecoin-type cryptocurrencies.

This news comes in a context where several companies are starting to look at bitcoin as an alternative reserve. As reported by CriptoNoticias, at least a dozen companies incorporated more BTC into their treasuries in April.
However, copying a financial strategy without understanding its logic is riskier than doing nothing.
Saylor did not buy cryptocurrencies; he bought bitcoin
The difference between having bitcoin and having 'crypto' is not simply terminological: it is structural. Strategy did not bet on what is fashionable, nor did it seek to speculate with the next viral token on social media. Its decision was to acquire a unique, scarce, decentralized, immutable asset programmed to withstand inflation.
Unlike most cryptocurrencies and tokens (including TRUMP), bitcoin has no CEO, cannot be censored, and does not rely on promises or marketing campaigns. It is truly sovereign digital money, which is why it was chosen by Strategy as the cornerstone of its long-term treasury. Therefore, Saylor has a radical and logical approach: bitcoin, and only bitcoin.
