President Donald Trump is using his public office to fill his private coffers with billions. Trump Media and Technology Group (DJT) said Monday it has accumulated roughly $2 billion in bitcoin and related assets, as Trump’s highly lucrative pivot to cryptocurrency continues to grow his net worth while in office.
In a press release, the company said that the bitcoin holdings now account for about two-thirds of Trump Media’s total liquid assets.
“As a stakeholder in crypto assets, President Trump will likely profit from the very policies he is pursuing,” the advocacy group Democracy Defenders Fund said in a report in April.

Before taking office in January, Trump transferred all DJT shares to the revocable trust managed by Trump Jr. Since then, Trump Media has effectively redefined itself as a cryptocurrency and financial services company.
“We’re rigorously implementing our publicly announced strategy and fulfilling our bitcoin treasury plan,” Trump Media CEO Devin Nunes said in Monday’s release.
“These assets help ensure our Company’s financial freedom, help protect us against discrimination by financial institutions, and will create synergies with the utility token we’re planning to introduce across the Truth Social ecosphere,” Nunes said.
Trump Media and Technology Group (DJT) crypto holdings overview
Trump Media & Technology Group (DJT), the parent company of Truth Social, has made significant moves into the cryptocurrency space, holding approximately $2 billion in Bitcoin and related digital assets. This represents about two-thirds of the company’s $3 billion in liquid assets, highlighting crypto as a core part of DJT’s financial strategy.
Alongside these holdings, DJT has invested around $300 million in Bitcoin options with plans to convert these options into spot Bitcoin depending on market conditions. The company has also filed to launch three cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in partnership with Crypto.com, aiming to broaden its crypto footprint and offer new investment vehicles.

Beyond Bitcoin, DJT has expanded its crypto portfolio by introducing a meme coin called $TRUMP on the Solana blockchain. An initial 200 million coins were released to the public, while an additional 800 million coins remain held by Trump-affiliated entities. This move into meme coins has sparked concern among ethics experts due to potential conflicts of interest, as it blurs lines between political influence and business ventures. Still, the company’s crypto initiatives continue to grow, reflecting a broader push to embrace emerging digital finance trends.
DJT also launched Truth.Fi, a fintech platform that offers investment products. Truth.Fi plans to provide various investment options including separately managed accounts, ETFs, and direct cryptocurrency investments with funds managed by Charles Schwab. This aggressive focus on digital assets and investment products demonstrates DJT’s ambition to diversify its financial portfolio while capitalizing on the rapidly evolving cryptocurrency market. However, the company’s strong crypto positioning has raised questions about the overlap between its political ties and financial interests, highlighting challenges at the intersection of business, politics, and emerging technologies.
