Trump Media’s Galactic Bitcoin Adventure: $2.32B and Counting!

In a move that can only be described as both audacious and slightly bonkers, Trump Media has managed to raise a staggering $2.32 billion, all while accelerating its foray into the bewildering world of bitcoin. Yes, you heard that right—bitcoin! The digital currency that has baffled and delighted many, and now, apparently, has a new best friend in the form of a massive bitcoin treasury. Who knew?

Trump Media Secures $2.32B for Bitcoin Strategy

On this fine day of May 30, 2025, Trump Media and Technology Group Corp. (Nasdaq, NYSE Texas: DJT) announced the successful completion of a rather significant private placement offering. This offering, which involved 50 institutional investors (because who doesn’t want to be part of this circus?), included the sale of 55.8 million shares of common stock priced at $25.72 each, raising around $1.44 billion. And let’s not forget the issuance of convertible senior secured notes due 2028, totaling a cool $1 billion. Because why not add a little more complexity to the mix?

The net proceeds of about $2.32 billion will be primarily used to establish a bitcoin treasury and for other corporate purposes. The company stated:

Trump Media will use the approximately $2.32 billion in net proceeds from the offering to create a bitcoin treasury and for other general corporate purposes and working capital. Because, you know, they need to keep the lights on.

With this offering, Trump Media, which is majority-owned by President Donald Trump (yes, that one), becomes a major player in the corporate bitcoin space. The company’s strategy aims to make it one of the top bitcoin holders among publicly traded U.S. firms. As Trump Media described: “One of the largest bitcoin treasury deals for any public company, the net proceeds from this offering and the company’s strategy will make Trump Media one of the top bitcoin holders among publicly-traded U.S. firms with one of the most comprehensive bitcoin treasury strategies.” Sounds impressive, doesn’t it?

The move is seen as one of the largest bitcoin treasury deals in the corporate world. CEO Devin Nunes, in a moment of clarity, highlighted the financial impact, stating: “It means the company will have more than $3 billion in liquid assets and our shareholders will have exposure to bitcoin.” Because who doesn’t want a little exposure to the wild world of cryptocurrency?

The company’s liquid assets will also include bitcoin, which will be added to its balance sheet alongside existing cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments. The company confirmed:

The offering will place bitcoin on Trump Media’s balance sheet alongside existing cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments totaling $759.0 million as of the end of the first quarter of 2025. Just in case you were wondering how much they have lying around.

In securing this position, Trump Media will rely on custody services provided by Crypto.com and Anchorage Digital to manage its growing bitcoin reserves. This development underscores the company’s commitment to digital assets as a key part of its long-term strategy. Because if you’re going to dive into the deep end, you might as well bring a floatie!
