Trump Media’s bitcoin stash tops $2 billion as company deepens crypto‑treasury push
Quick Take Trump Media’s bitcoin and bitcoin‑related holdings total an estimated $2 billion, accounting for about 66% of its $3 billion in liquid assets. The firm has set aside another $300 million for options on bitcoin‑linked securities, with plans to convert those positions into spot bitcoin as market conditions allow.z
Trump Media & Technology Group, the parent of Truth Social, announced on Monday that its Bitcoin treasury program has reached approximately $2 billion in combined holdings of BTC and Bitcoin-related securities.
The disclosure follows a late May report from the Financial Times that stated Trump Media was planning to raise as much as $3 billion for a wide-ranging crypto strategy. At the time, the company dismissed that story, calling the writers "dumb," yet Monday’s announcement suggests it has indeed tapped capital markets aggressively.
Trump Media's (ticker DJT) bitcoin trove now represents roughly two-thirds of the company’s $3 billion in liquid assets, according to Monday's release . An additional $300 million has been earmarked for buying options tied to bitcoin‑linked equities, which the company may convert into spot bitcoin "depending on market conditions."
Trump Media first outlined its crypto treasury ambitions in May, unveiling plans for a $2.5 billion offering to fund bitcoin purchases . It appears the firm has deployed a substantial portion of that financing, vaulting it into a growing club of listed firms — led by Michael Saylor’s Strategy — using Bitcoin as a primary reserve holding.
The company did not break out how much of the $2 billion figure reflects direct bitcoin versus exchange-traded products or equities tied to the asset. Trump Media stated that it will continue to acquire bitcoin and related assets, potentially tapping into its capital stash for revenue generation or future cryptocurrency acquisitions.
Bitcoin traded near $118,270 in midday dealings, The Block’s BTC price page shows. Trump Media shares surged over 6% shortly before the U.S. open, according to Yahoo Finance data.

High interest rates are not the "end" of US stocks? Is profitability the real key?
JPMorgan believes that profit growth is the key factor determining the resilience of U.S. stock valuations. Data since 1950 shows an "inverted U-shaped" relationship between the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield and S&P 500 valuations. Based on current profit levels, yields would need to reach about 5%-6% to significantly compress valuations. As long as profit growth remains above 15%, there is still room for valuations to be re-rated. If the yield curve steepens in a bear market, cyclical sectors such as energy and financials will benefit more; if it flattens, technology stocks will have a relative advantage.
