Trump Media Frees Up $2.3 Billion for Potential Bitcoin Investment After SEC Approval

SEC Greenlights Trump Media’s $2.3 Billion Bitcoin Investment Plan

Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG), majority-owned by former U.S. President Donald Trump and operator of the social media platform Truth Social, has received regulatory clearance from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for its previously announced plan to hold Bitcoin as an investment. The announcement, made on Friday, marks a significant move by a mainstream media company toward cryptocurrency adoption.

TMTG Now Has Access to $2.3 Billion in Institutional Capital

According to details reported by respected crypto news outlet Mihan Blockchain, SEC’s approval unlocks approximately $2.3 billion in capital that Trump Media had previously raised from around 50 institutional investors. With this regulatory greenlight, TMTG now has the flexibility to deploy this substantial fund to purchase Bitcoin whenever it sees fit, marking a notable entry into the Bitcoin investment market by a high-profile U.S. company.

No Fixed Bitcoin Acquisition Target Disclosed

While the company’s official filing does not specify exactly how much Bitcoin it plans to buy or a timeline for these investments, it states: "Trump Media will acquire Bitcoin and related digital assets in quantities and at times it deems appropriate." The prospectus also introduces a feature known as the Universal Shelf, enabling the company to raise up to an additional $12 billion in the future by issuing stocks, bonds, or financial warrants. However, TMTG clarified that there are currently no immediate plans to issue such securities.

Significant Share Sale by Early Investors Registered

At present, roughly 84.7 million shares belonging to early investors have been registered for sale—approximately half the publicly traded shares and about 30% of the company’s total outstanding shares. Trump Media trades under the DJT ticker symbol on the NASDAQ stock exchange, further cementing its presence in both traditional and crypto financial markets.

Bitcoin Strategy Includes Potential for Related Securities

TMTG’s filing also references the possibility of acquiring Bitcoin-linked securities as part of its broader investment strategy. Should market conditions warrant, the company may liquidate some or all of its holdings, reallocating capital into cash, cash equivalents, or other interest-generating assets.

Expanding Crypto Ambitions: Truth Social, Truth+ Streaming, and Truth.fi

Alongside Truth Social, TMTG has launched the Truth+ video streaming service. In January of this year, the firm also unveiled Truth.fi, a financial services and fintech brand with a focus on cryptocurrency solutions. According to the company’s press release, Truth.fi is described as “a financial services and fintech brand centered around America First, policy-driven investment.” These ventures highlight Trump Media’s growing presence in the crypto and blockchain sector and could offer unique opportunities for both retail and institutional investors.

This latest development reinforces the increasing mainstream adoption of Bitcoin and digital assets, not only by individuals but now by major corporate entities with global reach and influence in the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
