Trump Media Partners With Crypto.com To Distribute Digital Tokens To Shareholders

• While the company did not announce a specific date, it said that the digital token distribution would begin “in the near future.” 
• The tokens will be issued in partnership with cryptocurrency platform Crypto.com.
• The digital coins will also make shareholders eligible for a range of rewards throughout the year, including benefits or discounts on its products.

Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. (DJT) announced on Wednesday that it plans to distribute a new digital token to its shareholders in partnership with Crypto.com.

While the company did not announce a specific date, it said that it anticipates every shareholder will be eligible to receive one of the new digital tokens per DJT share “beginning in the near future.”

Shares of DJT climbed over 4% in Wednesday’s pre-market trade.

Digital Token

The tokens will be issued in partnership with Crypto.com, and will leverage the cryptocurrency platform’s technology, including the high-performance, interoperable Cronos blockchain, Trump Media said.

The digital coins will also make shareholders eligible for a range of rewards throughout the year, including benefits or discounts on its products such as Truth Social, Truth+, and Truth Predict.

The company is expected to announce further details about the planned distribution in 2026.

“We look forward to utilizing Crypto.com’s blockchain technology and improving regulatory clarity to implement this first-of-its-kind token distribution, reward Trump Media shareholders, and promote fair and transparent markets,” Trump Media's CEO and Chairman, Devin Nunes, said.

Trump Media’s Strategy Shuffles

President Donald Trump has expressed his support for digital assets, including during his election campaign when he vowed to make the United States the "crypto capital of the planet." Earlier this year, the company expanded into financial services with the launch of Truth.Fi that deals in exchange-traded funds, cryptocurrencies, and other investment vehicles.

In December 2025, Trump Media announced its merger with TAE Technologies, a fusion technology-focused energy company, in a $6 billion deal to build the “world’s first utility-scale fusion power plant.”

Despite these pivots, Trump Media’s performance has been lackluster over the past year. Economist Peter Schiff recently slammed the company for “little intrinsic value beyond its connection to the President,” saying that the Truth Social owner’s business model has shifted repeatedly.
