Trump Media and Technology Group has made a bold entry into cryptocurrency. On May 27, the firm announced that it had raised nearly $2.5 billion from about 50 institutional investors in a private placement deal. This funding will help the company build a Bitcoin (BTC) treasury, joining the growing list of corporate Bitcoin holders. Trump Media Reveal Details of the Deal Trump Media is listed on Nasdaq under the symbol DJT. It owns the social media platform Truth Social and the FinTech brand Truth.Fi, which was launched in January 2025 . Truth.Fi was recently given the green light to invest up to $250 million in traditional and crypto-related assets. Now, Trump Media is expanding this plan with a new Bitcoin-focused strategy. The company revealed it will raise $2.5 billion through two parts: $1.5 billion in common stock and $1 billion in convertible notes. The notes can later be turned into shares at a 35% higher price than the premium price. This investment will place Bitcoin next to Trump Media’s existing funds. As of the end of Q1 2025, the company held $759 million in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments. The funds raised will allow Trump Media to buy and hold Bitcoin as part of its core financial assets. Trump Media CEO Says Bitcoin Is Financial Freedom Over the weekend, some reports claimed the company was raising $3 billion for crypto investments. Trump Media denied those reports and strongly criticized the news outlet. In today’s press release, Trump Media CEO and Chairman Devin Nunes called Bitcoin an “apex instrument of financial freedom.” He added that this new crypto investment is part of a larger strategy to protect the company from bias in the banking sector. According to Nunes, the Bitcoin reserve will support new product rollouts. This includes utility tokens and subscription payment tools on Truth Social and the upcoming Truth+ platform. Trump Media is partnering with Crypto.com and Anchorage Digital to store its Bitcoin safely. These firms will handle the security and management of the company’s crypto treasury. Trump Media Joins The Corporate Bitcoin Trend With this recent move, Trump Media has joined other major firms that embrace Bitcoin as part of their financial strategy. Strategy, led by Michael Saylor, was one of the first to take this approach and now holds almost 3% of all Bitcoin in circulation. Other firms, such as Metaplanet, Semler Scientific, MARA, Genius Group, have adopted the same strategy, seeing Bitcoin as a safe-haven asset. Now, Trump Media is aiming to follow in those footsteps, but with a focus on politics and social media.
