Trump Media Group Seeks $3 Billion for Cryptocurrency Investments
Las Vegas, NV – May 26, 2025
The Trump Media Group (TMTG) is reportedly seeking to raise $3 billion, primarily targeting investments in the cryptocurrency sector. According to a recent report by the Financial Times, TMTG plans to source $2 billion through fresh equity and an additional $1 billion through convertible bonds. The anticipated funds will likely be directed towards new projects within the cryptocurrency ecosystem, with expectations that some of the capital will be allocated to Bitcoin (BTC).
Upcoming Announcement Expected
Sources familiar with the matter indicate that TMTG may make a formal announcement regarding this substantial raise as soon as this week. The high-profile Bitcoin Conference in Las Vegas is being speculated as the venue for this unveiling. The event is expected to attract significant attention, featuring notable speakers such as U.S. Vice President JD Vance, White House crypto adviser David Sacks, and Donald Trump’s sons, Eric and Donald Jr.
Trump Family’s Growing Crypto Presence
Though TMTG has reportedly downplayed the Financial Times report, the rumored plans reflect an expanding interest of the Trump family in the world of cryptocurrency. Former President Donald Trump has consistently voiced his support for cryptocurrencies during his political campaigns, expressing a vision for America to become the "crypto capital of the world."
In recent weeks, Trump hosted a private dinner that included major players in the crypto space, such as Justin Sun, the founder of the Tron (TRX) blockchain. The Trump family’s ventures into cryptocurrency are not limited to the proposed equity raise; they also hold interests in various projects, including the Official Trump (TRUMP) memecoin and a stake in American Bitcoin, a Bitcoin mining company. Additionally, they are involved with World Liberty Financial, which recently introduced its stablecoin USD1. ### TMTG’s ETF Plans
Further contributing to its cryptocurrency aspirations, TMTG has announced plans for a crypto exchange-traded fund (ETF), signaling a move that aligns with the increasing investor interest in Bitcoin exchange-traded options. This initiative reflects a broader trend where publicly traded companies are leveraging debt and equity offerings to build substantial Bitcoin reserves.
One of the most notable examples in this space is Strategy (formerly known as MicroStrategy), led by CEO Michael Saylor, which has amassed an impressive $40.6 billion in Bitcoin, totaling approximately 580,250 BTC. Reports suggest that TMTG is closely monitoring this model and could adopt a similar Bitcoin-focused treasury strategy in the near future.
Conclusion
Should the Trump Media Group successfully complete its $3 billion raise, it would mark a significant entry into the cryptocurrency market, positioning TMTG amongst other corporate giants actively investing in digital assets. As this situation develops, the cryptocurrency community will be watching closely for announcements from Las Vegas and beyond.
