Trump Media & Technology Group has announced a groundbreaking $2.5 billion Bitcoin treasury deal, marking one of the largest corporate investments in cryptocurrency, aimed at diversifying revenue and aligning with the U.S. push to become a “Bitcoin superpower.”

The Largest Bitcoin Treasury Deal

On May 27, 2025, Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), the operator of Truth Social, announced a monumental $2.5 billion BTC treasury deal, positioning itself as a major player in the cryptocurrency space. The announcement highlighted that this move represents “one of the largest Bitcoin treasury deals of any public company.”

TMTG will raise $2.5 billion via private placement, issuing stock and convertible notes at a 35% premium. Bitcoin will be held on TMTG’s balance sheet with $759 million in cash and investments as of Q1 2025.

The decision aligns with the broader vision of U.S. President Donald Trump, who has advocated for a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve to cement America’s dominance in the crypto space. 

TMTG aims to leverage Bitcoin as a “crown jewel asset” to diversify its revenue streams and protect against financial harassment.

CEO Devin Nunes said Bitcoin is key for financial freedom, making it a vital part of Trump Media’s assets. Some warn Bitcoin is being weaponized by media and treasury controllers, not adopted for its decentralized ethos.

Crypto platforms Anchorage Digital and Crypto.com will provide custody for the Bitcoin holdings, ensuring secure management of the assets.

Trump Follows ‘Saylor Mode’

Trump Media’s $2.5 billion Bitcoin investment is part of a larger strategy to integrate cryptocurrency into its financial operations, including facilitating subscription payments and launching a Truth Social “utility token.” 

This move comes amid a growing trend of corporate adoption of Bitcoin, following in the footsteps of companies like MicroStrategy, which holds $63.35 billion in crypto assets as of May 2025.

The company’s pivot reflects the Trump administration’s broader pro-crypto stance, with the U.S. Senate set to vote on the Bitcoin Act to acquire 1 million Bitcoins for a national reserve.

Market reactions have been mixed. TMTG’s stock (DJT) experienced volatility, dropping 10% at the end of the trading hour due to concerns over dilution from the stock issuance.

Trump’s TMTG deal raises conflict of interest concerns due to his crypto ventures, including Trump NFTs and World Liberty Financial. Bitcoin’s growing acceptance as a corporate asset is evident, potentially encouraging more companies to invest.
