Trump Media and Technology Group Corp. (Nasdaq, NYSE Texas: DJT)
("Trump Media" or the "Company"), operator of the social media
platform Truth Social, the streaming platform Truth+, and the
FinTech brand Truth.Fi, announced today that it has entered into
subscription agreements with approximately 50 institutional
investors, under which the Company agreed to issue and sell
approximately $1.5 billion in the Company’s common stock and $1.0
billion in principal amount of 0.00% convertible senior secured
notes, for gross proceeds of an aggregate approximately $2.5
billion, in a private placement offering (the “Offering”).
The Offering is expected to close on or about May 29, 2025,
subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
The Company intends to use the proceeds for the creation of a
Bitcoin treasury. One of the largest Bitcoin treasury deals of any
public company, the move closes Trump Media’s previously announced
special acquisition fund, which is one of numerous ways, including
through potential mergers and acquisitions, that the Company is
aiming to expand its reach throughout the America First
economy.
Trump Media’s CEO and Chairman Devin Nunes said, “We view
Bitcoin as an apex instrument of financial freedom, and now Trump
Media will hold cryptocurrency as a crucial part of our assets. Our
first acquisition of a crown jewel asset, this investment will help
defend our Company against harassment and discrimination by
financial institutions, which plague many Americans and U.S. firms,
and will create synergies for subscription payments, a utility
token, and other planned transactions across Truth Social and
Truth+. It’s a big step forward in the Company’s plans to evolve
into a holding company by acquiring additional profit-generating,
crown jewel assets consistent with America First principles.”
The $2.5 billion Offering, comprising approximately $1.5 billion
in Trump Media common stock at the last market price and $1.0
billion in convertible notes at a conversion price equal to a 35
percent premium, 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.
Yorkville Securities, LLC and Clear Street LLC acted as Co-lead
placement agents, with BTIG, LLC and Cohen & Company Capital
Markets acting as Co-placement agents (collectively, the “Placement
Agents”). Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. acted as financial advisor.
Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP is serving as legal
counsel to the Company. Reed Smith LLP is serving as legal counsel
to the Placement Agents.
Crypto.com and Anchorage Digital will provide custody for
Trump Media’s Bitcoin treasury.
