Trump’s crypto love is not new, we all have seen the frenzy that went around WLFI and USD1 a few days back. However, it was just the start. Trump plans to take crypto deeper. In the latest move, Trump Media & Technology Group announced its plan to raise almost USD 2.5 Billion. They aim to create a Bitcoin treasury with it. If they do execute this plan in action, then, they will be positioned as the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin. This move is a perfect highlight of how digital assets, business strategy, and politics are entwined in the U.S.
The deal structure is designed in such a way that it includes two core components. The first is that USD 1.5 Billion will be raised through selling common stocks at market price and remaining USD 1 Billion in special bonds that can be converted to shares and can be sold at a 35% premium without paying any interest.
While speaking about the project CEO Devin Nunes supported this move stating that it aligns with TMTG’s mission to promote financial freedom. He also said that this reserve will act as a shield against possible bank discrimination. He further added that by doing this TMTG will be able to keep up with the changing world of digital finance. 
This news again affirms President Trump’s growing interest in the crypto market during his second term. Only lately, in March 2025 he signed an executive order to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve along with a Digital Asset Stockpile. This is done to fuel the fire behind his aim to solidify American leadership in crypto space.
However, involvement of the Trump family in the crypto world is again and again blurring the lines between private interest using political influence. Their ventures like WLFI and launch of TRUMP token have faced a lot of criticism already. There have been voices of concerns about ethics behind Trump’s stance towards his decisions around cryptocurrencies.
Even though TMTG claims to operate independently, there are concerns regarding possible conflicts of interest. This also arises questions like how public policy and private business will stay connected, especially as the company grows its presence in crypto.
Whatever may be the case, Trump Media’s USD 2.5 billion initiative represents Bitcoin’s growing influence on corporate America. It no doubt reflects the growing acceptance of digital assets. Yet it also presents in front of us a complex dynamics at play when politics, media and finance are involved.
As TMTG moves forward with this strategy, experts will closely watch how it affects the market. They will also monitor investor trust, and this decision will shape wider conversation about the future of digital finance in the U.S.
