Backed by $2.5 billion in funding, Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), the owner of Truth Social, has initiated a substantial allocation into digital assets, reporting approximately $2 billion in Bitcoin and Bitcoin-linked securities in its latest disclosure.
This strategic move follows the company’s May announcement outlining a digital asset investment plan, designating $1.5 billion from stock sales and $1 billion through convertible senior secured bonds for Bitcoin acquisitions. An additional $300 million has reportedly been allocated to Bitcoin-related options with potential conversion into spot Bitcoin, depending on market developments.
The timing coincides with significant progress in the U.S. Congress, where three major cryptocurrency bills—the GENIUS Act, the Clarity Act, and the Anti‑CBDC Surveillance State Act—advanced through the House during a week Republicans labeled “Crypto Week.” President Trump signed the GENIUS Act into law on July 18, 2025, marking a regulatory milestone for the U.S. stablecoin sector. The remaining two bills await Senate approval.
Bitcoin prices surged past $123,000 early in the week before retracting to levels near $119,000, suggesting a positive investor response to regulatory clarity and institutional adoption.
TMTG stated it would “continue to acquire Bitcoin and Bitcoin-related assets depending on market conditions,” signaling ongoing commitment to the crypto strategy.
Meanwhile, President Trump’s affiliated digital ventures have also seen a boost:
- World Liberty Financial, which launched a stablecoin under the GENIUS framework, has seen its WLFI token more than double in value over the past week as governance votes expanded tradability.
- The $TRUMP memecoin, primarily controlled by Trump-linked entities, appreciated approximately 10%, climbing from $10.45 to $11.55, amid growing retail interest.
In parallel with private-sector activity, the White House is actively exploring a federal crypto infrastructure. In March, President Trump signed an executive order to create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a Digital Asset Stockpile, initially projected to be populated by seized digital assets. Recent statements from advisers, however, indicate that alternative sources—including revaluation of U.S. gold certificates—are under consideration for funding this reserve.
