Trump Media and Technology Group Corp. (TMTG), a Nasdaq-listed company trading under the ticker DJT, has announced ambitious plans to launch crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and separately managed accounts (SMAs) worth $250 million. This new initiative aims to merge patriotism with digital finance, appealing to a global investor base.
Crypto ETFs to Blend Bitcoin and American Innovation
The Sarasota, Florida-based company, primarily known for operating the Truth Social platform and majority-owned by U.S. President Donald Trump, unveiled plans to partner with Crypto.com and Charles Schwab to launch ETFs under the Truth.Fi brand.
The proposed ETFs, pending regulatory approval and final agreements, will include digital assets like Bitcoin and Cronos (CRO), as well as securities tied to U.S.-based industries such as energy. According to the company:
-
Financial Backing: The initiative will utilize $250 million from Trump Media’s cash reserves, which will be custodied by Charles Schwab.
-
Infrastructure Support: Crypto.com will handle backend technology, custody, and cryptocurrency supply.
-
Focus Areas: The ETFs will highlight “Made in America” assets, supporting innovative U.S. companies and technologies.
Devin Nunes, Chairman and CEO of TMTG, described the move as both an ideological and financial shift. “These offerings will empower investors with products that adhere to their principles and support superior U.S. companies precisely focused on their core businesses,” Nunes stated.
Global Rollout with Support from Crypto.com
The funds are anticipated to launch later this year, subject to regulatory clearance, with availability across major global regions, including the United States, Europe, and Asia. These ETFs will be accessible through existing platforms and brokerages, further expanding their reach.
Kris Marszalek, CEO of Crypto.com, expressed excitement about the partnership:
“We are proud to partner with Truth Social and Yorkville America to support the launch of these new ETFs. These unique token baskets will offer consumers more options under a trusted brand with a loyal following.”
Expanding into Politically Branded Digital Finance
Trump Media’s initiative marks a significant move into financial services, highlighting a blend of ideological branding and innovative financial products. As part of the company’s fintech expansion, the initiative positions itself as a leader in digital finance, emphasizing both patriotism and cutting-edge technologies.
