Extra! Extra! ~ Trump Goes All In on Bitcoin with $2.5 Billion! A New Gambling God in the Crypto World?
Brothers, this old guy Trump is at it again! Going all in with $2.5 billion directly into Bitcoin, this move is crazier than Musk! First denies, then officially announces—a classic Trump-style reversal, it's all about the thrill.
1. Where's the money coming from?
$1.5 billion from issuing stocks, $1 billion via convertible bonds (at a 35% premium), in simpler terms, it's about getting retail investors and institutions on board. Bitcoin rises → Company assets skyrocket → Stock prices soar → Arbitrage with bond-to-stock conversion, a combo play that’s off the charts. But what if Bitcoin crashes? Heh, the picture is too beautiful...
2. Why hoard Bitcoin?
CEO Nunes says "to counter financial censorship," translated into plain language: I don't want to be controlled by banks! Hoarding BTC has become a trend among public companies, from MicroStrategy to the Czech central bank; Trump's move is essentially branding “decentralization against censorship.”
3. A closed-loop ecosystem in the crypto world?
TMTG not only buys BTC but also issues Meme coins ($TRURM, $MELANIA), creates a DeFi platform called TruthFi, and even collaborates with Crypto.com for custody. What is this, a media company? Clearly a crypto hedge fund + traffic factory! Using Trump's IP to attract capital, then using BTC as reserve assets, and finally using Tokens to... ah no, empowering the community, brilliant!
4. Risks?
Trust crisis: Deny first, then it turns out to be true, stock prices drop 12% on the spot—classic traditional performance.
Volatility blow: BTC is now fluctuating at $110,000; a single needle drop could trigger a leveraged liquidation, and TMTG's balance sheet may take a high dive.
Centralization paradox: Institutions hoarding BTC, future supply controlled by 50%? What happened to decentralization? (laugh)
Conclusion:
Trump has taken “traffic + capital + crypto” to the extreme. If he succeeds, he becomes the first public company to use Meme to support BTC; if it crashes, at least the show will be entertaining. The crypto world loves this kind of madman; after all—it's either going to the moon or going to zero; being wishy-washy is the real risk!
Brothers, it's fine to watch, but don’t easily FOMO; Trump’s scythe is even more unpredictable than Musk’s...
