Trump’s Truth Social Launches ‘Gems’ – A Bold Move Tied to Utility Token Surge
Truth Social just dropped a crypto bombshell—and it’s got ‘Trumpian’ flair written all over it.
The platform’s new ‘Gems’ feature isn’t just digital confetti—it’s linked to a utility token, blending social media clout with blockchain bravado. Because what’s a 2025 tech rollout without a side of speculative asset hype?
Here’s the kicker: This isn’t just another loyalty points system. ‘Gems’ could let users trade, tip, or even flex political allegiance—all while pretending they’re not gambling on tokenomics.
Love it or hate it, Truth Social’s play reveals the uncomfortable truth: In today’s attention economy, even presidential grudges get monetized. Just don’t ask about the SEC’s opinion—we’ll hear about that in the next lawsuit.
Gems for Truth Social and Truth+
According to the announcement, these digital rewards are expected to be linked to a future utility token integrated across Truth Social and the streaming platform.
“These will eventually be tied to a utility token on both Truth Social and Truth+,” the post stated.
The Patriot Package trial includes a red verification badge, boosted comments, and expanded access to streaming content. The platform is also collecting user feedback through a poll focused on the visual design of the new rewards system.
The company has not disclosed further details on the utility token’s issuance or function, nor whether it will involve public blockchain infrastructure. The reference to a dual-platform token feature makes the first public indication of possible token integration by TRUMP Media & Technology Group.
Truth Social trades under the ticker $DJT following a recent public listing. No timeline was given for a full rollout of the gem or token system.
HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!

Trump Media Files for Crypto ETF
Trump Media & Technology Group, the parent company of Truth Social, has filed an S-1 registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for a “Blue Chip crypto ETF,” according to a July 8 submission.
The proposed fund WOULD include Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and Cronos, with a portfolio weighting of 70% BTC, 15% ETH, 8% SOL, 5% CRO, and 2% XRP.
The filing states the ETF will operate as a passive fund without leverage or derivatives and will offer staking for certain assets. The product is sponsored by Yorkville America Digital, with Foris DAX Trust Company named as custodian and Crypto.com appointed as exclusive Bitcoin custodian and liquidity provider. The ETF will list on NYSE Arca upon approval, though no ticker has been announced.
Some platforms have explored token rewards for creators or audience participation, but regulatory clarity around these assets remains uneven.
If fully developed, Truth Social’s token system could mirror past efforts by social apps to create internal economies tied to user actions.
