US President Donald Trump’s pivot to cryptocurrency has led to his media company accumulating roughly $2 billion in bitcoin and related assets, accounting for about two-thirds of its total liquid assets. Shares of TMTG, which trades on the Nasdaq under DJT, surged 9% upon opening.
Trump’s stake in the company is worth nearly $2.3 billion, with his other crypto ventures including World Liberty Financial and meme coin $TRUMP. The president has made millions from these investments, including $500 million from World Liberty since its launch in September.
Critics warn that Trump’s crypto interests and political power create an environment ripe for corruption, as he will likely profit from the policies he is pursuing. The company’s bitcoin holdings are expected to help ensure financial freedom and protect against discrimination by financial institutions.
Following a series of strategic acquisitions and partnerships, including with Crypto.com, TMTG aims to build a bitcoin treasury using funds raised from selling stock and convertible notes. CEO Devin Nunes said that these assets will help create synergies with the utility token planned for introduction across Truth Social’s ecosphere.
