Trump Media’s Crypto Treasury Rockets Past $2B – Stock Surges 9% as Digital Bets Pay Off
Trump Media just turned crypto skeptics into believers overnight. With its digital asset reserves now valued at a staggering $2 billion, the company’s stock skyrocketed nearly 9%—proving once again that in today’s market, meme-worthy moves sometimes outpace fundamentals.
From MAGA to MOON:
The surge comes as legacy investors scramble to decode the company’s crypto playbook. One thing’s clear: love it or hate it, Trump Media’s gamble on digital assets is printing gains—and leaving Wall Street traditionalists muttering into their spreadsheets.
Cynical footnote:
Because nothing says 'financial innovation' like a 9% bounce built on volatile crypto holdings. Enjoy the ride—just maybe pack a parachute.
BREAKING:
Trump Media just announced it has accumulated roughly $2 billion worth of $BTC and Bitcoin-related securities.

Trump Media Shares Surge By 9%
The news sent TMTG’s shares soaring by over 8 % in early trading. Interestingly, the positive market reaction signals pro-crypto sentiments. Moreover, the news comes as Bitcoin trades NEAR $118,000, just below its recent ATH of $123k set last week.
Furthermore, TMTG is reportedly looking to partner with platforms like Crypto.com to launch exchange-traded funds (ETFs) on Bitcoin and the Cronos blockchain.
Crypto.com CEO Kris Marszalek took to X to say “Crypto.com is proud to work with TMTG on the execution of this Bitcoin purchase.”
