Trump Media & Technology Group has expanded its Bitcoin portfolio, acquiring an additional 451 Bitcoin valued at roughly $40.3 million. According to analytics firm Arkham, the move brings the company’s total Bitcoin holdings to 11,542 coins, now worth more than $1 billion.
This continues Trump Media’s broader crypto treasury strategy. Earlier in 2025, the company reported around $2 billion in Bitcoin and related digital assets, positioning itself as a crypto‑focused investment entity.
Truth Social Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF Plans
In July, Trump Media announced plans to launch the Truth Social Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF, with Crypto.com serving as the exclusive custodian, prime execution agent, staking provider, and liquidity provider. Yorkville America Digital, LLC was named as the fund’s sponsor. The ETF's launch was contingent on SEC approval of a Form 19b-4 filing and the effectiveness of its registration statement.
The fund was structured as a Nevada business trust, issuing and redeeming shares in blocks of 10,000 through authorized participants, using cash for creation and redemption. In-kind transactions were not initially offered but could be implemented later pending regulatory approval. Trump Media stated that shares could not be sold or purchased until the SEC registration statement became effective.
Stock Surge on Merger, Business Transformation
At the time of writing, shares of Trump Media ($DJT) are down nearly 10% on the day. However, last week the stock surged dramatically following an unexpected all-stock merger announcement with TAE Technologies, valuing the combined entity at over $6 billion. Shares jumped roughly 42% on Thursday, adding more than half a billion dollars to the Trump family’s holdings, climbed another 8.3% on Friday, and rose 3.6% in Monday premarket trading.
The merger pivots TMTG from a social media play into a fusion energy venture, with plans to build nuclear fusion plants to power artificial intelligence operations. Trump Media went public in 2024 via a SPAC merger and is headquartered in Sarasota, Florida, with Devin Nunes as CEO. TMTG focuses on social networking, streaming through Truth+, and financial services with a FinTech brand Truth.Fi. It is majority‑owned by the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust.
