Wall Street meets blockchain in a high-stakes gamble as Trump Media allocates its freshly raised billions to Bitcoin. Is this a visionary pivot or just another corporate bandwagon jump?

Forget bonds and T-bills—the new corporate treasury playbook might just be written in blockchain ink. While skeptics scoff at ’treasury alpha’ chasing, the market watches closely as $2.44B worth of institutional FOMO gets a Bitcoin address.

One thing’s certain: when companies start parking nine-figure sums in volatile crypto assets, either the financial world just changed forever—or we’re witnessing the most expensive corporate meme trade yet.

Trump Media Raises $2.44B for Bitcoin Treasury Strategy

According to the company, net proceeds of around $2.32 billion will go toward acquiring Bitcoin and supporting general operations. TRUMP Media said the move is part of a broader plan to build out its Bitcoin treasury and enhance liquidity.

“Trump Media is focused on acquiring great assets, and this deal will give us the financial freedom to implement the rest of our strategies. It means the company will have more than $3 billion in liquid assets, and our shareholders will have exposure to Bitcoin,” said CEO and Chairman Devin Nunes.

While the company has not disclosed how much Bitcoin it plans to purchase, it confirmed that the digital assets will be held in custody by Crypto.com and Anchorage Digital, two U.S.-regulated crypto custodians.

The purchases will be added to Trump Media’s existing cash and investment holdings of $759 million, as reported at the end of Q1 2025.

Once completed, the purchases could position Trump Media among the top five public companies globally by Bitcoin holdings.

The move WOULD put the firm in direct competition with others pursuing similar strategies, including Strategy, which currently holds over 580,000 BTC.

The decision marks one of the largest Bitcoin treasury moves by a public company to date. It comes amid renewed interest in institutional crypto exposure and corporate diversification into digital assets.

Nunes described the deal as a step toward financial independence and future growth. “The deal positions Trump Media for the kind of rapid expansion we’ve always envisioned,” he said. “We look forward to advancing even further throughout the America First economy.”

While the company hasn’t provided a timeline for the Bitcoin purchases, the new strategy represents a bold bet on crypto as a long-term store of value.

With billions in liquid assets and a stated commitment to digital assets, Trump Media is entering the corporate Bitcoin race in a big way.

He stated the company would use Bitcoin for subscriptions, tokenization efforts, and broader fintech applications.

Trump Media also finalized an agreement with Crypto.com and Yorkville America Digital to launch a suite of exchange-traded funds under the Truth.Fi brand.
