🔹 Funded through a $1.3B convertible notes offering

🔹 Comes after months of speculation around crypto expansion

🔹 Rep. Bryan Steil urged lawmakers to stop adding irrelevant clauses to crypto bills

🔹 Warned that “non-germane” additions are delaying regulatory progress

🔹 Push to pass stablecoin and market structure laws before August recess

🔹 Trump Media confirmed a $2.5B capital raise to buy Bitcoin
