The SEC has approved Trump Media’s plan to use the $2.3 billion raised from investors to buy Bitcoin without a specified limit or schedule.
A Green Light with Shades of Economic Warfare
Donald Trump makes a bold move. The SEC has just approved the submission of Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) to officially launch its Bitcoin strategy. Translation: the $2.3 billion raised from around fifty institutional investors can now be used to massively purchase BTC at any time.
And no one knows how much or when. The prospectus is clear: “Trump Media will acquire Bitcoin in amounts and on a timetable deemed optimal.” It’s essentially a blank check… to potentially become one of the largest BTC holders in the world.
Trump Media is entering the realm of speculative crypto, combining financial strategy, political expansion, and media influence through tools like Truth.fi.
A $12 Billion Firepower Reserve
In the same document, TMTG discreetly slips in another explosive detail: a “universal shelf” of $12 billion. Essentially, this allows the company to issue new stocks, bonds, or warrants at any time without an immediate limit.
Officially, Trump Media has “no short-term plans” to use it. However, in reality, this provides colossal financial flexibility to strategically maneuver according to market developments.
DJT, Political Speculation, or the Next MicroStrategy?
Since its Nasdaq debut under the ticker DJT, Trump Media has become a sort of geopolitical meme stock. But behind the hype, the firm is structuring a real crypto treasury strategy.
The prospectus goes further: it envisions not only purchasing BTC but also Bitcoin-backed financial products, and even selling acquired BTC to reposition funds in cash or yield assets.
In other words, TMTG is not just playing the digital reserve card. It is already positioning itself as a speculative player in the market.
An Expanding Trump Galaxy in Crypto
Behind Truth Social, TMTG quietly develops an empire at the intersection of media, politics, and finance. In January, the group launched Truth.fi, a fintech brand with crypto ambitions, described as an “America First investment vehicle.”
Behind the scenes, 84.7 million shares held by early investors have also been registered for resale. This represents about half of the current floating stock, and nearly a third of all shares in circulation.
What It Changes for Bitcoin and the Market
The potential entry of billions of dollars into the Bitcoin market by such a high-profile actor as Trump could have a direct impact on the BTC price and fuel a new wave of institutional FOMO.
It’s not just another Michael Saylor. It’s a former U.S. president, with a massive political base, access to the Nasdaq, and now a prospectus approved by the SEC.
Crypto and politics have officially merged.
