Trump Media & Technology Group is reportedly planning to raise $3 billion to invest in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Find out what this means for the crypto space and U.S. digital finance leadership.
$3 Billion Crypto Investment on the Horizon
According to a report by the Financial Times, the funding would include:
- $2 billion in new equity
- $1 billion in convertible bonds
The capital raise could be announced at the upcoming Bitcoin 2025 Conference in Las Vegas, where appearances by Vice President JD Vance and Donald Trump’s sons, Donald Jr. and Eric, are expected.
Trump Media’s Growing Interest in Crypto
If the reports are accurate, this move signals a serious shift in strategy for Trump Media. In addition to the potential crypto investments, the company is rumored to be working on:
- A crypto-focused ETF (Exchange-Traded Fund)
- NFTs and memecoins
- Crypto mining operations
- Mergers and acquisitions in the digital finance space
These efforts align with Donald Trump’s broader goal of making the U.S. a leader in digital asset innovation.
Denials and Controversy
Despite the buzz, TMTG has strongly denied the report. A spokesperson said, “Apparently the Financial Times has dumb writers listening to even dumber sources.” No official statement has yet confirmed the alleged $3 billion raise.
Bigger Picture: Politics Meets Crypto
The timing of this move is notable. Trump’s administration has recently shown increased support for the digital economy:
- Proposing a U.S. strategic crypto reserve
- Appointing David Sacks as the new White House AI and crypto czar
This suggests that Trump Media’s crypto ambitions may be part of a larger push to solidify America’s role as a crypto powerhouse.
