This corporate strategy mirrors President Donald Trump's broader embrace of cryptocurrency. In March 2025, he signed an executive order establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve for the U.S. government, capitalized with bitcoin seized through legal proceedings. The reserve is intended to position the United States as a leader in digital assets and is maintained as a store of value .
Despite the ambitious nature of TMTG's bitcoin investment, the company's stock experienced a decline of over 10% following the announcement, indicating investor concerns about the risks associated with such a significant move into cryptocurrency.
