Trump Media And Technology To Raise $2.5B To Create Bitcoin Treasury: ‘This Investment Will Help Defend Our Company Against Harassment’

Trump Media and Technology Group Corp. (DJT) confirmed on Tuesday that it has agreed to sell approximately $1.5 billion in common stock and $1.0 billion worth of convertible senior secured notes in a private placement offering to institutional investors to create a Bitcoin treasury.

The offering is expected to close on or about May 29.

The Financial Times reported the possible fund-raise plan on Monday, citing people briefed on the matter, although it said the company planned to raise $3 billion.

Trump Media and Technology CEO Devin Nunes said the firm views Bitcoin as an apex instrument of financial freedom, and it will hold cryptocurrency as a crucial part of its assets.

“Our first acquisition of a crown jewel asset, this investment will help defend our company against harassment and discrimination by financial institutions, which plague many Americans and U.S. firms, and will create synergies for subscription payments, a utility token, and other planned transactions across Truth Social and Truth+,” he stated.

Trump Media has existing cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments totaling $759 million as of the end of the first quarter of 2025.

The company pointed out that Crypto.com and Anchorage Digital will provide custody for its Bitcoin treasury.

Following the confirmation of the news, DJT stock declined 6% on Tuesday morning. At the same time, Bitcoin traded 0.52% higher as of Tuesday morning, near the $110,000 mark.

Last week, Trump Media and Technology said that its on-demand streaming service, Truth+, will be available on Roku-connected TVs.

On Monday, Strategy Inc. (MSTR) announced the purchase of 4,020 Bitcoin, having raised $427 million.

Meanwhile, DJT shares have declined by over 28% in 2025 and 51% in the past 12 months.
