Trump Media & Technology Group has expanded its Bitcoin holdings to 15,649 BTC, reinforcing its commitment to digital assets despite a broader cryptocurrency market correction. The company combined additional purchases with portfolio adjustments during the third quarter, maintaining a substantial Bitcoin position as prices retreated from September levels.
The latest figures reflect an increasingly diversified corporate treasury strategy, with Bitcoin playing a central role in the company’s financial positioning. Rather than abandoning its exposure during market weakness, Trump Media continued building its long-term cryptocurrency reserves.
Trump Media Increases Bitcoin Holdings Through Strategic Purchases
According to its November 9 SEC filing, Trump Media acquired 4,359 BTC during the third quarter, using proceeds that included a partial sale of its Bitcoin exchange-traded fund holdings. After accounting for other transactions, its net Bitcoin position increased by 1,510 coins.
At September 30, the company reported approximately 15,649 BTC, alongside seven million shares of BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT). Its Bitcoin holdings carried an estimated market value of $1.31 billion at the end of September.
However, Bitcoin’s subsequent decline changed the valuation considerably. At a reference price of $74,450 on November 10, the company’s holdings were worth approximately $1.17 billion, representing a reduction of roughly $140 million from their September valuation.
This movement illustrates the distinction between an asset’s market value and its underlying quantity. Trump Media maintained its Bitcoin exposure even as declining prices reduced the reported value of its treasury.
The company’s filing also showed that it acquired 6,359.15 BTC during the first nine months of 2026, with reported purchase prices ranging from approximately $59,900 to $65,400.
Bitcoin Yield Program Adds Another Layer To Treasury Strategy
Beyond accumulating Bitcoin, Trump Media has developed an institutional strategy to generate income from its digital assets. Its filing disclosed that approximately 11,385 BTC were pledged under its Bitcoin Yield Management Program at the end of September.
The program uses covered options and agreements with institutional counterparties. These arrangements allow the company to seek additional returns from its Bitcoin reserves rather than relying exclusively on price appreciation.
Nevertheless, the strategy carries financial risks. Some counterparties can reuse pledged Bitcoin as collateral, a practice known as rehypothecation. This creates potential exposure if an institution fails to meet its obligations or return the assets.
