On May 27, 2025, Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), the parent company of Truth Social, announced plans to raise $2.5 billion from approximately 50 institutional investors to purchase Bitcoin. The funding will come from $1.5 billion in stock sales and $1 billion in convertible debt, forming a strategic acquisition fund aimed at businesses aligned with Trump's "America First" policies .
The company aims to establish a Bitcoin treasury reserve, positioning Bitcoin as a core asset in its holdings. This move aligns TMTG with other companies like MicroStrategy and Tesla that hold significant Bitcoin reserves. The initiative complements other crypto-related ventures tied to Trump and his family, including Truth.Fi and crypto-friendly policy stances under his administration, such as the creation of a national Bitcoin strategic reserve .
Following the announcement, Trump Media’s shares fell by 10% as Bitcoin traded near $109,900 after recently peaking above $111,000 .
This development is part of a broader trend of public companies adding Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to their balance sheets to capitalize on rising token prices as the Trump administration embraces digital assets .
