đ§ Truth Social Turns to Bitcoin
Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) reveals it now holds $2.4 billion in Bitcoin and crypto-related assets, positioning itself as a major corporate crypto whale.
đľ How Did They Pull It Off?
TMTG raised funds through $1.5 billion in stock sales and $1 billion in convertible bonds, creating a âBitcoin treasuryâ strategy rivaling MicroStrategy.
đ Crypto Laws Passed, Market Reacts
The announcement coincided with U.S. Congress passing three key crypto bills, including the GENIUS Act for stablecoin regulationâdubbed âCrypto Weekâ on Capitol Hill.
đ Bitcoin Breaks Records
Following the news, Bitcoin spiked above $120K, driven by a mix of political momentum and institutional confidence.
đŽ Whatâs Next?
TMTG says it will keep buying Bitcoin when market conditions are favorable. With Trumpâs public support and legal clarity rising, is a crypto-centric future inevitable?
â ď¸ Opinion: A Brewing Conflict of Interest?
As Trump campaigns on pro-crypto policy, his media company is simultaneously investing billions in Bitcoin. Critics argue this blurs the line between public leadership and personal gain. If crypto markets surge on favorable regulations, Trumpâs own company may directly profitâraising tough ethical questions.
> Can a future president be both a policymaker and a crypto whale?
While some hail this alignment as visionary, others warn of potential abuse of power and market influence if regulatory changes are seen as self-serving. In democracies, transparency and guardrails are crucialâespecially when digital assets and politics collide.
