Eager to strengthen its digital footprint, Trump Media & Technology Group disclosed to the SEC its Truth-branded utility token and digital wallet project.
Utility Token Goals
This mechanism will let users pay for Truth+ subscriptions and, later, buy additional products and services across the platform’s ecosystem. Although the company stops short of calling it a cryptocurrency, the SEC filing makes clear that it relies on blockchain infrastructure.
In July, Trump Media invested $2 billion in bitcoin, ranking it among the top five public BTC holders. That commitment showed up in its Q2 results: it recorded $2.3 million in positive operating cash flow but a net loss of $20 million, driven largely by legal fees tied to its 2024 SPAC merger. After releasing those figures, its stock fell 3.8% and closed with a market capitalization near $4.7 billion.
By quarter’s end, Trump Media reported $3.1 billion in assets, fueled by its recent BTC purchases. Its fintech arm, Truth.Fi, also filed to launch exchange-traded funds linked to Bitcoin, Ethereum, and a “crypto blue chip” index. The SEC pushed its decision on those ETFs to September 18.
Trump Media’s Blockchain Connections
Among the company’s offerings is the Patriot Package, now in beta, which grants subscribers “gems.” Over time, those points will convert into the utility token. President Devin Nunes frames this feature as a tool to shield users from alleged financial restrictions and discrimination by traditional institutions.
Trump Media’s crypto activities take on a political dimension through the more than $26 million in donations President Trump has received from the sector. Major contributors include Blockchain.com with $5 million, the Winklevoss twins, and firms such as Paradigm and Ondo Finance. Bloomberg estimates TMTG stock adds $2.2 billion to Trump’s net worth, while his broader crypto holdings have earned at least $620 million recently.
Furthermore, about 70 administration officials hold cryptocurrencies or stakes in blockchain companies. In this way, Trump Media combines its social-network business with a strategy deeply rooted in digital assets
