Trump Media Closes Bitcoin Treasury Deal
May 30 2025 - 11:24AM
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 closed its
previously announced private placement offering (“the Offering”)
with approximately 50 institutional investors.
The Offering consisted of the sale of (i) 55,857,181 shares of
the Company’s common stock, at a price of $25.72 per share, for
gross proceeds of approximately $1.44 billion and (ii) 0.00%
convertible senior secured notes due 2028 in the principal amount
of $1.00 billion, at the conversion price of $34.72 per share, for
an aggregate purchase price of approximately $2.44 billion. 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.
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.
Trump Media’s CEO and Chairman Devin Nunes said, “Trump Media is
focused on acquiring great assets, and this deal will give us the
financial freedom to implement the rest of our strategies. It means
the Company will have more than $3 billion in liquid assets and our
shareholders will have exposure to Bitcoin. The deal positions
Trump Media for the kind of rapid expansion we’ve always
envisioned, and we look forward to advancing even further
throughout the America First economy.”
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.
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.
