Tron Inc. Bets Big: $1B Securities Filing Signals Aggressive Shift to TRX-Centric Crypto Treasury Strategy

Tron Inc. just made Wall Street blink—filing paperwork to pivot $1 billion into a TRX-dominated crypto treasury. Because nothing says 'bullish' like converting tradable securities into volatile digital assets.

Why This Matters

Forget dipping a toe—this is a cannonball into crypto. The move suggests Tron's doubling down on decentralization (or just really likes gambling with shareholder money). Either way, it’s a liquidity play that’ll make crypto maximalists cheer and compliance officers sweat.

The Fine Print

No new tokens minted—just cold, hard securities getting swapped for TRX. Because when your native token’s already top 15 by market cap, why not go all-in? Just don’t ask about the tax implications.

Wall Street Meets Web3

Watch the suits scramble to price this risk. Meanwhile in crypto-land: another proof that digital assets are eating traditional finance—one billion-dollar bite at a time.

Tron Inc. Adopts Strategy-Style Treasury Model, But with TRX

The approach mirrors the high-profile crypto treasury model popularized by Michael Saylor’s Strategy.

However, unlike Saylor’s bet on Bitcoin, TRON is committing to a token with lower liquidity and a narrower investor base.

The company warned that “a decline in TRX prices or waning investor interest” could impact its ability to raise future capital.

In its filing, Tron disclosed that its traditional toy and souvenir business “did not generate positive cash FLOW from operations” in 2024.

Without a turnaround in that division, the firm said it plans to rely on proceeds from equity or debt offerings to meet obligations.

Governance concerns loom over the pivot. While the company notes no formal role for tron founder Justin Sun, its board is chaired by Sun’s father, Weike Sun.

From entertainment to blockchain innovation.

Additionally, it includes a Tron DAO advisor and Tronscan’s lead developer.

The $100 million in Tron used to fund a reverse merger in June was held by a Hong Kong trust where one of Tron Inc.’s directors also serves, raising concerns of entanglement between the firm and the broader Tron ecosystem.

TRON Blockchain Surpasses Ethereum in USDT Supply

As reported, the TRON blockchain has surpassed ethereum as the leading blockchain for USDT, now hosting $80.8 billion in supply versus Ethereum’s $73.8 billion.

Daily transaction counts for USDT on TRON are nearly seven times higher than Ethereum’s, and the network processes over $24.6 billion in USDT transfers each day, reinforcing its dominance in stablecoin liquidity and usage.

The network’s growth is being fueled by its gasless transaction model, which now accounts for 75% of all activity.

TRON recorded 273 million transactions in May and 28.7 million active addresses in June—its highest since mid-2023. The ease of access has made TRON a popular hub for frictionless onchain services.

TRON’s DeFi ecosystem is also expanding. SunSwap’s monthly volumes have held above $3 billion, while lending protocol JustLend has seen borrowing activity rise 23% year-over-year.

Stablecoin use is growing across these platforms, with USDT and USDD driving most of the engagement and displacing WTRX’s prior dominance.

Despite offering gasless features, TRON posted a record $308 million in fee revenue in June, driven by advanced DeFi services.
