On May 28, the company revealed it had raised $2.5 billion. The funds came through a private placement involving roughly 50 institutional investors.
The funds will be used in part to establish a significant Bitcoin treasury. This will place the company among the largest public holders of BTC.
Bitcoin as a Strategic Asset
The offering includes $1.5 billion in common stock and $1 billion in convertible senior secured notes. According to the company, the deal is expected to close on or around May 29, pending routine conditions. Custody for the Bitcoin treasury will be handled by Crypto.com and Anchorage Digital. Both are well-regarded platforms in the digital asset space.
Trump Media’s Chairman and CEO, Devin Nunes, described Bitcoin as an “apex instrument of financial freedom,” signaling the company’s long-term crypto strategy. The investment is not just about adding Bitcoin to the balance sheet. Nunes framed it as a defensive play against financial discrimination and a stepping stone toward broader goals like utility tokens, subscription payments, and expanded platform capabilities across Truth Social and Truth+.
BREAKING: Trump Media just committed $2.5B into Bitcoin.
That’s bigger than most companies’ entire balance sheets.
If this is the new trend, corporate crypto treasuries, then $FLOKI, $DOGE, $PEPE and $SHIB about to catch serious tailwinds.

This move significantly boosts its liquidity and aligns it with a growing number of public companies seeking to diversify assets through crypto. MicroStrategy, for example, has made headlines for acquiring more than 200,000 BTC over several years. Trump Media now joins this elite circle with what may be the largest single crypto treasury entry to date for a social media firm.
A Push into the America First Economy
The capital raise also concludes Trump Media’s previously announced special acquisition fund. The company plans to use this capital for mergers, acquisitions, and other strategic moves. They want to expand its footprint in what it calls the “America First economy.”
According to the offering details, the $1 billion in notes will be convertible at a 35 percent premium to the market price. That structure signals strong investor confidence and leaves room for upside participation. Placement agents include Yorkville Securities, Clear Street, BTIG, and Cohen & Company. Cantor Fitzgerald served as financial advisor, adding institutional weight to the transaction.
