Trump Media & Technology Group, the media venture backed by former U.S. President Donald Trump, is making headlines with a bold $2.5 billion move into Bitcoin ($BTC
).
The company has raised the massive sum from approximately 50 institutional investors, allocating 100% of the funds to build a Bitcoin treasury. This includes $1.5 billion in equity and $1 billion in interest-free, convertible senior bonds.
To ensure security and compliance, Trump Media is partnering with well-known crypto custodians Crypto.com and Anchorage Digital. The full purchase and custody arrangements are expected to be finalized by May 29, 2025.
The market responded immediately—Bitcoin surged from $109,400 to $110,300 following the announcement. Analysts suggest this move could signal a major resurgence of institutional interest in digital assets and spark renewed momentum across the crypto market.
