Truth Social, the platform launched by Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), announced that it now has around $2 billion in Bitcoin and Bitcoin-related securities. This bold investment is in line with a May announcement of a digital asset strategy backed by $2.5 billion raised via stock sales and convertible bonds.
The timing of the announcement is significant. It comes soon after what Republicans call ‘Crypto Week,’ when the U.S. House passed three important crypto-related bills. President Donald Trump signed one of them, the GENIUS Act, which deals with stablecoin regulations, into law last Friday. The other two legislations regarding the structure of the crypto market and central bank digital currencies are yet to go through the Senate.
Trump’s Crypto Agenda Gains Traction
President Trump’s stance on digital assets has changed the way the U.S. talks about crypto policy. Increasing investment in the blockchain space, regulation played a crucial role in the administration’s support for regulatory clarity.
In March, the president signed an executive order that appeared to signify the establishment of a “Strategic Bitcoin Reserve” as well as a “Digital Asset Stockpile.” Although the decision was believed to have originated within the administration, which previously controlled seized cryptocurrencies, sources suggest there are more options being explored. The options may include the asset revaluation of gold certificates held by the government.
Trump Media is allocating $2 billion to Bitcoin, making it the third-largest institutional holder of the cryptocurrency. Additionally, the company has set aside $300 million for options trading strategies, reflecting a sophisticated approach to managing its digital asset exposures.
Market Reactions and Strategic Expansion
The broader crypto market responded positively at first. Earlier in the week, the price of Bitcoin surged above $120,000, though it has since pulled back to around $117,000. Analysts are increasingly skeptical about whether the current move can be sustained, as it is losing volume and the momentum indicators like the RSI and MACD are weakening.
The price correction did not hamper the altcoin market, as the prices of Solana and Dogecoin spiked by double digits. Ethereum‘s dominance also increased, pointing towards an altseason. In the meantime, Trump’s personal businesses are reaping the benefit as well. The WLFI token (World Liberty Financial), has gained more than 100 percent, while Trump’s Official TRUMP memecoin is up by around 10 percent.
Trump Media, which is developing an app for Truth Social, partnered with Crypto.com to file for three crypto ETFs. Its aim is to introduce institutional-grade investment vehicles to the market later this year.
A Strategic Shift in the US: The Bigger Picture Digital Asset Policy
Trump’s words on Bitcoin and blockchain have become backed by billion-dollar moves and strong legislative backing. The GENIUS Act says that stablecoin issuers must follow anti-money laundering laws and have reserves worth one dollar for every one dollar in safe assets. They must be regulated by either the state or the federal government. This clarity is expected to drive more mainstream adoption.
Citigroup analysts think that regulation could give a big boost to the global stablecoin market, projecting a jump from $265 billion at present to $3.7 trillion by 2030 at the current pace.
Conclusion
Trump Media’s $2 billion investment in bitcoin is a sign of growing institutional faith in crypto as U.S. policy turns friendly. With strong laws on one side, heavy support from the executive, and a rapidly developing structure within the market, the U.S. could replace the world leader in digital assets. The rise of altcoins and the imminent approval of ETFs could speed up the revolution of digital finance.
