Initially denying such ambitions, Trump Media later revealed plans to allocate $2.5 billion toward Bitcoin, including a $2.3 billion private placement offering.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), now led by Trump-appointed chair Paul Atkins, approved the registration statement tied to this initiative in June.
The funding includes proceeds from the resale of 56 million shares and 29 million shares from convertible notes, as part of broader debt and equity arrangements.
Additionally, the firm has filed to launch a spot Bitcoin ETF, while Truth Social submitted a filing for a dual ETF offering exposure to both Bitcoin and Ether.
These moves follow recent regulatory approvals, with the SEC clearing spot Bitcoin ETFs in January 2024 and Ether ETFs in May 2024, signaling Trump Media’s deeper push into the crypto space.
