Securities Commission greenlights Trump Media's $2.3 billion stock transaction tied to Bitcoin
Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) Bolsters Crypto Presence with $2 Billion Bitcoin Treasury Plan
Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) has confirmed its acquisition of $2 billion in bitcoin and bitcoin-related securities as part of its "bitcoin treasury plan" by the end of July 2025. The company has also allocated $300 million to an options-based bitcoin strategy, aiming to expand its crypto exposure further.
This significant move comes as TMTG's financial assets surged to $3.1 billion in Q2 2025, marking the first time the company achieved positive operating cash flow.
SEC Approval and Bitcoin ETF Launch
TMTG has filed amended SEC registration statements for its spot Bitcoin ETF, which, if approved, will be listed on NYSE Arca under the ticker B.T. The ETF will hold Bitcoin directly, with 70% of the ETF assets in Bitcoin, 15% in U.S. Treasuries, and 15% in cash equivalents.
However, the launch of this ETF is pending SEC approval, which includes the effectiveness of the updated Form S-1 registration statement and clearance of a separate Form 19b-4 listing application. As of August 2025, the company has moved closer to launch but has not received final approval. No official launch date has been announced, though TMTG expects the fund to go live before the end of the year, subject to regulatory clearance.
A Long-Term Strategic Play
The combined equity and debt deals are expected to generate approximately $2.3 billion in proceeds for TMTG. This move appears to be a long-term strategic play, reflecting TMTG's broader goal of expanding beyond its current media operations.
The company's next moves will likely be watched closely by investors and regulators alike. TMTG President and CEO Devin Nunes stated that the company is aggressively implementing plans to expand its social media platform, TV streaming platform, and FinTech brand.
