#TrumpMediaBitcoinTreasury Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG), the parent company of Truth Social, announced in May 2025 a $2.44 billion fundraising effort to establish a significant Bitcoin treasury, positioning itself among the largest corporate Bitcoin holders in the U.S. The deal involves issuing $1.44 billion in common stock at $25.72 per share and $1 billion in 0% convertible senior secured notes with a 35% premium, involving approximately 50 institutional investors. The net proceeds of about $2.32 billion will primarily fund the acquisition of Bitcoin, to be held alongside TMTG’s existing $759 million in cash and short-term investments, boosting its liquid assets to over $3 billion. Crypto.com and Anchorage Digital will provide custody for the Bitcoin holdings.

CEO Devin Nunes framed the move as a strategic step to align with “America First principles,” describing Bitcoin as an “apex instrument of financial freedom.” The treasury is intended to diversify assets, protect against perceived financial discrimination by traditional institutions, and create synergies for TMTG’s platforms, including Truth Social, Truth+ streaming, and the upcoming Truth.Fi fintech brand. This initiative follows a broader trend of companies like MicroStrategy, which holds $63 billion in Bitcoin, adopting cryptocurrencies as treasury assets to hedge against inflation and fiat currency risks.

The announcement initially caused TMTG’s stock (DJT) to drop 9-10% due to investor concerns over the high-risk nature of cryptocurrency investments and the company’s reliance on debt financing. However, shares later rose 2.9% on the day the deal’s pricing was confirmed. The move aligns with TMTG’s expansion into financial services, including plans for crypto-focused ETFs and a utility token. Critics question the long-term benefits versus the volatility risks, while supporters see it as a bold step to capitalize on Bitcoin’s rising value, which hit $110,000 around the announcement time.
