In a landmark move blending politics, media, and cryptocurrency, Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG)—the company behind former President Donald Trump's Truth Social—announced plans to raise $2.5 billion to create a Bitcoin treasury, signaling one of the most significant corporate shifts toward digital assets in 2025.
📢 The Announcement
On May 28, 2025, TMTG disclosed that it will raise funds from institutional investors to begin purchasing Bitcoin, establishing the treasury as a strategic financial reserve. The company stated that the move aligns with its broader goal of adopting “hard digital assets” to hedge against inflation and fiat currency instability.
> “Bitcoin is freedom. We’re building a company that believes in free speech and financial sovereignty,” a TMTG spokesperson stated.
🏛️ U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve
This corporate pivot comes just months after President Trump signed an executive order in March 2025 to form a U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. The reserve will be funded using Bitcoin seized in criminal cases and held indefinitely, forming a "digital Fort Knox" for the nation. The federal audit of digital assets has revealed holdings of over 200,000 BTC.
> “No new spending. No new taxes. Just smart digital economics,” President Trump said during a press briefing.
💼 Business Meets Politics
Critics argue that Trump's dual role—as both a media businessman and a political figure—raises ethical concerns. However, supporters say this demonstrates leadership and vision in pushing America to the forefront of digital finance.
> “Trump is once again setting the agenda—this time for crypto,” said a political analyst on Fox News.
📉 Market Reaction
Despite the bold announcement, Bitcoin's price has shown slight volatility, suggesting that while the move is significant, the market is waiting to see execution details.
Bitcoin (BTC) hovered around $68,000 on May 29, down slightly from the previous week.
Analysts suggest institutional confidence may rise if Trump Media follows through transparently.
📊 What's Next?
The $2.5 billion Bitcoin treasury could make TMTG one of the largest corporate holders of BTC, rivaling companies like MicroStrategy. It may also inspire similar moves from other politically a ligned or freedom -focused tech firms
